You get to a part where you have to pull a worm. This simply just won’t work so until it is patched I’m stuck ### 4/5 — At first Good game And then it takes a twist *2024-03-24, version 4.0.0* At first it was amazing and it was the best game and then the game hated me by going outside if it’s coding.😡😡😡 ### 5/5 — This game is like a fairy tale . *2024-02-27, version 4.0.0* Story was interesting and entertaining.Main Character have full developed personality and feels like real human . The music background awesome, game style simple and amazing. This game extremely positive and literally made me laugh sometimes with good jokes and some Russian phrases that was used perfectly in context ( I am native Russian speaker) . Overall atmosphere was pretty warm and cozy like fairy tale book that you would read before sleep or read to your child to give him/her more positive outlook for surrounding world and encourage kid to exploring stuff around . It was wonderful experience 10 out of 10 ### 5/5 — It’s fun and entertaining *2024-02-03, version 4.0.0* I love this little silly dude. All chapters are really fun and entertaining. Congrats. ### 5/5 — 😂 *2024-01-18, version 4.0.0* Хахах ### 5/5 — My favorite Arcade+ game! *2023-12-18, version 4.0.0* This game is very well done and has controller support. Graphics seem better one an iPad Pro but still looks great on an iPhone 14 Plus……. I love strategy puzzle games and if you do as well try it out! 5 Stars!!! ### 2/5 — Bad frame rate and touch control on iPhone *2023-12-02, version 4.0.0* Fascinating and intriguing story but with: 1. Poor visual effects: Only supports 30fps display on the latest iPhone. Why should I twist and turn all the time with this 120hz screen to play a 30fps game? 2. Poor touch control: I understand the desire of boosting the purchase of extra controllers, but can you learn from the universal touch control of older mobile games? It’s not hard to develop and test. In this game, a naive ‘touch and hold the right half of the screen’ command can waste players decades to get the point and continue the story. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Da *2023-11-13, version 4.0.0* Humorous retro Soviet flavor. A must for anyone that enjoys side-scoller games. Do yourself a favor, comrade. Very replayable. ### 5/5 — Silly little man *2023-11-05, version 4.0.0* I have absolutely no complaints about this game… except that there is not enough of it. I accidentally dropped my phone and deleted everything I was going to say in this review. The only thing I can remember is that I will never, ever forget about cousin Pavel and his egg-fueled flatulence. I promise my review was going to be much more in depth, but no, in a cruel twist of fate, everything was deleted and all I can remember now are fart jokes. Anyway, it’s 4:35 am now as I write this, so let me just cut to the chase and say that I love this game. Thank you developers! ### 4/5 — Visually exciting *2023-11-04, version 4.0.0* One of the most visually beautiful and exciting games I’ve played on my iPad Pro and iPhone. Fun, engaging story with a great sense of humour. I do wish the gameplay felt a little faster and there were more puzzles. Overall still great fun! ### 4/5 — Great and realistic game *2023-10-14, version 4.0.0* I really liked the graphics and style of the game. Is so easy to be immersed in the game. It feels like the real thing. It said a curse word so I docked it one star. ### 5/5 — Immersive experience *2023-09-14, version 4.0.0* Incredible graphics and storyline. Controls take a little to get used to if playing without a controller but otherwise this is one of the best games here on arcade. ### 5/5 — Best adventure game ever *2023-08-27, version 4.0.0* So good that I finished 3 chapters in one sitting and the cop is very funny ### 3/5 — Touch-Screen Controls Prevent It From Being a Good Game *2023-08-24, version 4.0.0* Great graphics, writing, and voice acting, but the only challenge is overcoming the terrible touch-screen controls. Perhaps it’s better with a controller, but I wouldn’t know. ### 5/5 — Funny Game *2023-07-19, version 4.0.0* This game has a great, funny story that's incredibly imaginative. It has great graphics that are very tripped out. I don't know who was more of an insane commie, Ivan or me high on Northern Lights while watching video game Northern Lights. I'd like more games like this from Apple Arcade. To be honest, I was hoping that Apple Arcade was actually a subscription service for gamers with games that could be on the systems. I after all play games on my desktop, and nothing about the name "apple arcade" specifically says "mobile phone game" to me. So, "Little Orpheus" is my favorite game on apple arcade. The story, a funny cold war socialist to the center of the earth, really speaks to me. Give it a shot, especially after a bong hit. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Captions *2024-12-19, version 4.0.0* This game is not accessible for Deaf/Hoh. There’s really no excuse in this day and age not to have captions as an option, especially in a game with a storyline. ### 1/5 — Controls *2024-10-09, version 4.0.0* I quite like the look of this game but I find the controls are very annoying. I can get the character to jump while standing still but to get him to jump while moving forward is hard I just can’t figure it out I’m trying to continue but I’m thinking why bother. I can’t tell if I’m doing something wrong or if the game needs an update very disappointed and for this reason I give 1 star rating ### 1/5 — That mechanical fish *2024-02-25, version 4.0.0* Only gameplay in the game is 4 hours later and it controls terribly. Story falls apart about 50% through. Overall great presentation but a bad game. ### 1/5 — too many glitches *2023-10-13, version 4.0.0* the game is funny but it is stocking in some parts. the controls don work on the keyboard. After too many glitches, I removed in from my games ### 1/5 — not fun at all *2023-08-24, version 4.0.0* boring ### 1/5 — Frozen on MacOS 13.4 *2023-07-06, version 4.0.0* Game can run for couple of minutes, then it will freeze. Need to restart to continue playing. ### 1/5 — Crashes repeatedly on Mac Air M2 *2022-12-23, version 4.0.0* Update: Still unplayable on 13.1. --- This game is unplayable on Macbook Air M2 24GB running Ventura (13.0.1). It locks up repeatedly at the same point early on in the first episode. This is very unfortunate as it looks lovely and has a very nice atmosphere. From what little I've seen, anyway. ### 1/5 — 1 Second Input Lag on M! Macbook Air *2022-11-03, version 4.0.0* Literally 1 Second input lag on M1 Macbook Air is unacceptible. The lag is there whether I use keyboard or a controller. The game while beutiful is unplayable for me. ### 1/5 — Terrible ending *2022-10-18, version 4.0.0* Whats the point of episode 9 Why is my version more difficult at the end than what others are playing? Iñ ### 1/5 — Socialist Propaganda *2022-10-02, version 4.0.0* Even more sickening to see this is designed for Ages 4+ ! Make sure you watch what your kids are playing!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please make another! *2025-02-23, version 4.0.0* Great game! Adding a sequel would be awesome, the 9th episode was fun but I was sad there wasn’t more. ### 5/5 — A Masterpiece *2025-01-17, version 4.0.0* This game tells a humorous and fun story through the eyes of a very imaginative man (or is he telling the truth?). That doesn’t matter much. What matters is the ride. The platforming is simple and the game easy to complete, but it serves its purpose well. It’s just FUN, plain and simple, like reading a very engaging book but one you can play. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-15, version 4.0.0* Awesome love it ### 5/5 — Give it a try *2024-12-28, version 4.0.0* When I first played this game, I did not have a controller so it was kind of weird to play. With the controller this game is amazing. ### 5/5 — SERIOUSLY MIND BLOWN AWESOME GAME‼️ *2024-09-30, version 4.0.0* Wow…just WOW!!! first of all I want to thank the creators for making this amazing awesome beautiful intriguing game and letting it be free!!! Really wish there were more levels again breathtaking game..loved it‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Gorgeous and Funny! *2024-07-26, version 4.0.0* I LOVED this game! It was an eye candy ride all the way through! And the cutaways to the interrogation rooms were excellent! The humor of the interrogator was fantastic! But truly this was so beautifully done, I could not stop looking all around to admire the art!! And props to the sound and music crews too! Loved scenes that were fast and fun Soviet style music would play. Sure it is an easy game, but I was there for the story and beauty!! ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME *2024-05-26, version 4.0.0* This game is by far my favorite on the entire the App Store. This game is like Little Nightmares but if it was a science fiction/fantasy instead of horror. The graphics are absolutely marvelous. And I can’t believe I’m saying this but I had more fun playing this game than Sonic Dream Team which I wasn’t expecting. I can’t give a finish review since I still haven’t finished but in current conclusion, PLAY THIS GAME! ### 5/5 — So good *2024-04-15, version 4.0.0* Please play this ### 5/5 — Little Orpheus *2024-03-03, version 4.0.0* Fun all about a guy who goes to a moon, but then crashes on the moon But I kinda like the game I’m on the final level ### 5/5 — Top Shelf Platformer *2024-02-29, version 4.0.0* As far as platformers go, this one is as visually stunning as it is engaging. The imagery, mechanics, writing, and voice acting are of the caliber one might expect from a console release. The attention to quality and detail for the sake of greatness is an indication of the creator(s) and I look forward to experiencing more. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
