I’m seventeen now and I think of it fondly so often, so I thought I’d try it out again. Let’s hope it brings back happy memories! It’s so fleshed out for a children’s game, I love all the hidden stuff that you have to figure out yourself. I’ve just started playing again! The only thing I would say is that it definitely takes too long for light butterflies to regenerate! Six hours for just one won’t cut it when some options take two of them! I want to read more! ### 4/5 — Takes too long *2023-07-12* The story is pretty interesting, and I love choose your own adventure books/games, but there is one problem. It takes too long to wait to get more butterflies, the story’s great, but it takes too long to actually choose your own adventure. This would definitely be 5 stars if it didn’t take as long to get more butterflies, other than that, this is a great game! ### 4/5 — Really fun, but one problem *2022-04-06, version 1.1.1* The game is really fun and a great storyline, but there is one problem. I just started playing and after five minutes I have to wait SIX HOURS just to continue playing. For the butterflies instead of waiting six hours just to continue playing please use the butterflies for something special if it’s gonna be six hours. Other than that it’s a great game and very interesting. 😁 ### 4/5 — It great just some suggestions… *2022-03-06, version 1.1.1* So I got this game pretty recently and I REALLY love it the arts really cute and the story’s interesting but the wait for the butterflies is a bit much and you can only hold five butterflies at a time so you can’t save them up. And then there’s the reason I writing this review… on chapter 11 or 12 my marigolds time bar just stopped moving it didn’t even show the time till another butterfly! Although I think this is only an issue that I’ve come across But just so you know you can do things i between butterflies ^v^ ### 4/5 — PLEASE UPDATE! *2021-10-17, version 1.1.1* It’s been so long since I’ve played this game but I remember really enjoying it. I was thinking of playing it again and noticed it still hasn’t gotten anything new! Please add new chapters! I would love to know how it ends! ### 3/5 — Cute story but… *2021-10-05, version 1.1.1* The story line is super cute but after having the game download for 24 hours the game quit giving me butterflies to continue through the story. My flower is healthy but the timer disappeared and the bar doesn’t fill up anymore. ### 4/5 — Really good! But,,,, *2021-03-14* I find it really hard to get butterflies, it’s annoying that you have to wait FIVE HOURS to get one and can only watch two adds at a time. Maybe make it one or two hours and it would be more enjoyable. Overall the game is WONDERFUL I absolutely love the story and characters it’s so fun! ( ´ ▽ ` ) Also you haven’t updated it in 4 years and I know many people that would love more chapters!!! -Lilith Riek Asteria ### 4/5 — Fun and Addictive! Just A Few Things I Would Change... *2020-10-23, version 1.1.1* I love this game! I just started playing it and I can hardly put it down! My only issue is that waiting SIX HOURS for ONE BUTTERFLY is a little more than I can handle. I’m impatient and I wanna keep following the story but it’s so engaging that I spent all my butterflies and have no more left to do so. I would appreciate it if the amount of butterflies received per six hours was boosted up a bit (even two per six hours would be an improvement!) or if the waiting time was reduced a little. Now, I’m not saying that we should get ten thousand butterflies every five seconds, but just enough to keep me from falling out of the game through sheer boredom lol. I’m not sure if others feel the same way or if these are simply the ramblings of a very impatient person, but I think it would help keep people from no longer playing the game because there aren’t enough butterflies to keep reading the story at a pace which keeps the player invested enough to continue. Anyways, this review is getting a bit too long for my tastes, so I’ll just say that this game is so unique and so fun and to please keep up the good work! ;) ### 4/5 — I love this game! *2020-09-26, version 1.1.1* I really like this game and it’s the only good story game I could find. I wish there more games like this. I just wanted to say a few things. The game is so great I played it twice, but I really want more stories. I need to know how it ends, or even continues. Also, I wish the butterflies came more often, because I have to wait five hours just to get one. I really hope someone will read this and continue the story. I can’t wait! ### 3/5 — Good game..but, *2020-04-24, version 1.1.1* When I first played this it really sucked!But maybe if I play more I’ll learn more. ### 4/5 — When does the sorry continue *2020-04-10, version 1.1.1* Everything about this game is great. But I played this game 3 years ago, and downloaded it again, yet it still hasn’t been updated past a certain chapter. So my question is. Will there be an continuation? ### 4/5 — Great Game! *2020-01-03, version 1.1.1* I love this game the story line is amazing. I love how much choice you have. But just a few things here and there one of those problems is butterflies you shouldn’t have to need them for every choice just every other choice or something like that. Also the locks in the gimore are way to hard people play this game for a fun experience not to do math and puzzles if they want that they can go and get a puzzle game. Also another thing about the gimores locks there much to hard for little kids it says 4 and plus (which it is) But in all reality can a four year old slolve that problem? I DONT THINK SO! And the flowers just stop working after a while of playing u can’t take care of it and it dosent give you butterflies. So I finished the season and lives it but when’s the new one coming please make it. ### 4/5 — Ok but.... *2019-12-24, version 1.1.1* This is such a good game! There are some bugs tho. Like somewhere around like chapter 15 or 13 you stop getting butterflies. Like the flower doesn't have a timer anymore it's just the flower is healthy and proper. And then you have to watch a video to get butterflies and you only get 3 a day. And you may think at this point oh just delete the app and re download it. Yes that works but it happens at like chapter 16 so then you lose all you progress which is annoying. And also make it to where you can make an account, so that way if you need to transfer your data to another device you can sign in. Other than that a really good game. ### 4/5 — Good *2019-11-09* I wish it didn’t take so long to get a butterfly because I love the story line, and want to keep reading. ### 4/5 — 😭 *2019-09-14* I can’t go to the second part of the story it tells me to keep reading but I can’t please make a second part ### 4/5 — Updates? *2019-08-24, version 1.1.1* I love this game, but I finished it a few years ago, downloaded it again, and there have been no updates. I really wish it would have been continued, and had more story afterwards. I heard there would be a season two, but I don’t think there has been one ### 4/5 — Great story! *2019-07-21* I would've rated it 5 stars except that it hasn't been updated in 3 years! I loved this game and I want the next part of the story, PLEASE RELEASE IT SOON! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I do not like the game *2022-02-14, version 1.1.1* I want to play love mages,but I do not like the story line,because this talks about witches. ### 1/5 — Butterflies=BROKEN *2019-08-23* I was around stage 8 at the time but then the butterflies stopped working! I needed butterflies because I ran out, so I went to the garden but it didn’t show how long the butterflies took and it was at maximum ZERO! FYI: I tried redownloading the game, the same thing HAPPENED I know there’s no point if writing this since this is a 3y old game but if the same thing happens to you, I want to know if it’s the game, or my phone in general. THANK YOU ### 1/5 — Unresolved Glitches *2017-11-11, version 1.1.1* No more butterflies show up and watching videos for butterflies does not work. The flower is healthy, but there is no timer, just a gray bar. I can’t continue the story. I’ve looked for answers online, but everyone who has the same problem, doesn’t know how to fix it and they haven’t gotten an answer. Please fix this soon. ### 1/5 — REDUCE THE BUTTERFLY TIME *2016-06-19, version 1.1.1* Some choices in the game require 2 butterflies. And to earn those butterflies, you would have to wait HALF THE DAY. The story is very amazing and interesting, but the wait time is ridiculous. If you reduce the wait time to only a few hours like Episode, I'm positive that people will still come back and play the game. Please reduce the wait time. The game is amazing so if the wait time is reduced, it would be even more amazing. ### 1/5 — Confused *2016-05-19, version 1.0.6* It was confusing on how you got butterflies and frankly I only kept it to see how the plot want to go. For the most part everything was fine it was just the whole garden and butterfly thing that was really confusing. ### 2/5 — Hmm *2020-10-27* I can’t say it’s the best. It definitely doesent make my favourite apps but if you like reading a lot this app would be a great choice I don’t like reading so I probably won’t keep the app. That’s why I gave this app 2 stars. Thanks for reading UwU. ### 2/5 — Not sure *2019-04-29* When I just downloaded it I thought it would be great But on the first hand I really want to see more but on the second hand I want to delete it cuz I have to pay for the rest of the game ### 2/5 — Cute but slow *2018-08-08, version 1.1.1* I like what I’ve seen so far, but playing the game free is slower than most of the games I have played. Butterfly regeneration pace makes staying engaged with the game difficult. ### 2/5 — Those ENIGMAS! *2018-01-01, version 1.1.1* The enigmas in the game are too hard for me and my daughter to solve! ### 2/5 — Very debilitating glitch. *2017-08-26, version 1.1.1* So like others have said you need butterflies to do anything in the game. You get these through taking care of a garden however when I went to my garden the timer is blank so no more butterflies unless I pay for each which means paying for every page of this story. Fix this and I'll give it better stars. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Theory about what is gonna happen in season two! *2021-06-15, version 1.1.1* Okay, a lot of people is saying Cinnamon, Lily’s cat 🐈‍⬛ is her mom, but it does not make sense when they say Cinnamon is a boy. So what I think 🤔 is gonna happen is that, Lily finds out that Eric is also magical and he is probably another guardian and he is trying to get to Rufus’s family. I also think 🤔 that Lily will fall in love 🥰 with Eric! I also think 🤔 Rufus and Lily are gonna hang out more. I also think 🤔 Jess will tell Pam or someone else that Lily is a witch! ### 5/5 — Very good *2021-03-17* A nice little interactive story one where you take your time over your decisions whilst you wait for enough butterflies. ### 5/5 — THE BEST THING EVER! *2020-11-20* I love this game because it is very good (if you like reading!) and it lets you do magic spells! I do have a few glitches and it can freeze but other than that it's not a bad game.😊 ### 5/5 — Amazinggg!! *2020-11-17, version 1.1.1* I love how I have different choices and the storyline itself is pretty interesting! The characters are cool, too. I like how the looks are diverse (there are more than 2 skin colors) and how the accessories are awesome! My only problem is that I have to wait 6 hours just to get 1 butterfly. Come on now! Most of the choices require 2 or 3 butterflies! I do like how you can watch an ad and get a butterfly, though. This game is awesome!!! YEAHHHHH ### 5/5 — My FAVORITE game 🤩💕 *2020-08-14, version 1.1.1* BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Please add more chapters!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Love this *2020-02-17* This is the be most game I love it and I think the storyline is well thought out.its very fun and I Love how you can create a character. Very thought out and I love it!👍⭐️🐼😍 ### 5/5 — Magic guardians *2020-02-15, version 1.1.1* A really magical app ### 5/5 — Season two? *2020-01-10* I personally think it’s a great game and I recommend it for any age but the problem is that I want to read the next season but it keeps telling me to read again and change anything so, season two?😋 ### 5/5 — Years of Anger *2019-11-12, version 1.1.1* It’s been three years. I’ve been here for three years!!! Where’s the next chapter?? ### 5/5 — Theory... *2018-11-15, version 1.1.1* I always have theories for any book, movie, TV show, and game I ever read, watch, or play. So this is my theory: Rose and Vera thought Cora died, but Cornelia put a curse on her and shapeshifted her into a cat, Cinnamon. That’s why Cornelia doesn’t like cats. They also thought that Lily’s dad died, but he didn’t. He thought Cora died, so he remarried a black woman and his son is Eric. He thought he couldn’t keep Lily safe, so he left her. That’s why Eric choose Lily during gym class, because he knew and she didn’t. Jess’s parents don’t trust Rose and Vera because her dad is Dravus’s brother. Kwan’s family is magic too but he didn’t know. Thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
