User reviews

This game is the best!!!

I rarely write a positive review of a game… but this one is so good!!! It’s gentle game… soft music… no loud noises when you make a mistake… Pip just had a sad face! The first few times I played the game I got very frustrated.. even deleted it… but I came back and slowly went thru the “how to play”… and got hooked!!! Within just a few minutes… I past go ad free… I’ve played 904 games my win streak is 655 games!!! I even play it now instead of “doomscrolling”. I like the iPhone version better than the iPad… not a fan of journeys… hoping … still only doing the easy level… it is such a joy to play something that doesn’t “yell” at you or make you feel bad about making a mistake… even explains why it was a mistake
