### 3/5 — Doesn’t open

*2026-04-12, version 2.3.0*

Haven’t play this game in forever and decided to download again only to find out it won’t even open. I tried reinstalling and it still doesn’t work.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-03-24, version 2.2*

Click click click click click click click derp

### 2/5 — Don’t buy gems….

*2023-12-20, version 2.0*

I have purchased gems in this game and did not receive them…! I love the game play just not the theft…

### 4/5 — There’s only one thing keeping this from 5 stars

*2023-10-04, version 1.7.0*

This is a pretty fun game, except for the fishing. It takes the longest and has a high failure rate, if a future update made it work like the trees and stones, zero complaints here.

(Update: I just fished and got ‘not even a nibble’ SEVENTEEN TIMES in a row. Why?)

### 4/5 — I would love

*2023-08-07, version 1.7.0*

I would love 5to have the option to delete my save data and start all over. Currently with only one save slot I have to keep playing I feel like I messed up my stat build early on and need a new save to try a new stat build.

### 4/5 — IM CONFUSED AND NEED ANSWERS

*2023-04-30, version 1.6.7*

Ok first of I love the game but I can't help but think I did something completely wrong and just didn't play right. I can't really gauge the depth of this game but ive been playing for a while now and there are still a bunch of grey rectangles that I STILL can't access. Such as, Woods, Paddock, Forest Path and some others. Im level 183 and I thought i'd be high enough by now. So am I missing something? Am I not a high enough level? Or are they just not accessible yet?

### 4/5 — Latest update, bug.

*2023-04-08, version 1.6.3*

With the latest version, a bug that prevents restoring previous no-ads purchase.  Hope the devs solve soon.

### 5/5 — Fun stuff

*2023-03-28, version 1.6.3*

Cool game

### 2/5 — Too many addiction engine techniques

*2023-02-25, version 1.6.2*

Just like so many other games, this snags you with shiny bell sounds every time you tap a button to drag you in and make up for what is very simplistic near-zero-choice gameplay.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly excellent

*2023-02-24, version 1.6.2*

The first game that I willingly watched a bunch of ads by choice and not because they were crammed down my throat. It’s minimal but it feels like an rpg just stripped down to the essentials. Great east play on the phone.

### 1/5 — Can’t restore purchase

*2026-07-16, version 2.3.1*

I paid for ad removal and the game for me was down for awhile seems like it got updated and I lost all my progress which is fine but I can’t restore my purchase now any assistance would be greatly appreciated cause I paid for after all

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-05-05, version 2.3.0*

Game doesn’t open. Was happy to play this game again after many years just for them to break the game

### 1/5 — Game won’t open

*2026-04-25, version 2.3.0*

Used to love this game but now it wont even open

### 1/5 — Crashes on Launch

*2026-04-19, version 2.3.0*

Last update broke it. It’s dead, Jim.

### 1/5 — Broken post-update

*2026-04-17, version 2.3.0*

Version 2.3.0 breaks the game such that the app crashes upon launch. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Last update broke the game, no longer playable

*2026-04-13, version 2.3.0*

This really makes me mad!  I’ve been playing this amazing game for a long time now, and until the last update 5 days ago, it was nearly flawless!  Now, the game won’t even open!  I’ve seen other reviews mentioning this, but it always worked fine on my phone… until this awful update 5 days ago!  
What a shame because this game was GOOD!  I’ll miss this one… but clearly, this developer has a LOT to learn that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!  😡😢

### 1/5 — Update causes crash

*2026-04-13, version 2.3.0*

Most recent update crashed app. App will not open.

### 1/5 — Not Accessible

*2026-03-06, version 2.2*

It does not work with Voiceover so I couldn't even try it out. Could you please consider making it accessible in the future? For reference on how to do this I'd recommend looking at Grim Quest and other games by the same people who made it, as well as Dungeons and Such and Oubliette.

### 1/5 — Old

*2023-06-24, version 1.6.9*

Been forever for some new stages

### 1/5 — Dull

*2023-06-04, version 1.6.7*

So minimal there is no there there. Didn’t last 5 minutes. Uninstalled.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Not Broken anymore (updated review)

*2026-05-08, version 2.3.1*

Version 2.3.0 broke the game such that the app crashed upon launch. This was fixed in 2.3.1. Rating revised to reflect this.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2026-04-09, version 2.3.0*

However after I did the newest update it won’t let me open the game 😬

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-03-05, version 2.2*

This is a fun and entertaining game for people like me who like the RPG crawler games.   But I’m ready for more levels!  Are you planning an update any time soon?

### 5/5 — Hi Dev

*2024-08-05, version 2.0*

Can you add a sign in or save and load mechanic please?

### 5/5 — Fun

*2023-11-03, version 1.7.0*

Fun and addicting, probably bad as i ended up playing for too long.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2023-10-12, version 1.7.0*

This game is one of the best games ever not even joking, being sarcastic or exaggerating it’s amazing

### 5/5 — Awesome game! One bug:

*2023-09-24, version 1.7.0*

Love  this game! Simple and engaging! Not pay to win which I love!

I have noticed that often the “sub levels” or hidden levels are often bugged to where the enemies don’t deal almost any damage.

### 5/5 — Love this game BUT…

*2023-08-24, version 1.7.0*

This is a fun game. BUT I’ve been maxed out on actual gameplay stages for forever and doing the shards and adventure gets boring when there’s no challenge.

### 5/5 — Good time waster.

*2023-06-22, version 1.6.9*

Not full of forced adverts, IAP’s are very reasonable. You’ll find yourself saying, “Just one more room.” 
Overall great game, highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2023-04-24, version 1.6.3*

Easily the most fun and relax game i’ve ever played, no p2w, not lots of in app purchases, perfection!
