### 3/5 — I don’t say this lightly but this game IS DARK

*2022-12-23, version 1.3.0*

So anyway I haven’t beaten the game yet but I am getting closer to getting to dr smiles so to explain a need a spoiler so SPOILER at black fork asylum you put brain pieces in a giant cauldron and it makes a potion that has side effect of making people go INSANE and all the grown ups at the start of the game are missing (later you find them all of but insane and naked except for under when and a knife and they try to kill you) and 3 grown ups are horrific monsters and the first one eats Simeon but you find him later in a bunch of guts the first boss was really long now I am not saying that this game is graphic it isn’t thankfully but ya this game is very dark also the main boss is try ing to eat someone Also I do want to know why only 3 grown ups turned into giant monsters also why are the kids really old in black fork asylum I also don’t like the skating mechanic for getting of i think there should be a button to get off and to answer a person’s question yes the centapide lady does wake up you have to roll simeon through sand spider eggs and sludge and just saying but this game is just dark I thought that creeks was dark but… this takes the cake. Hey devs are you working out of your heart cause if you are you all need a therapist judging by black fork asylum I have deleted it from all the creepy stuff some reviewers said it has a creepy vibe i say it’s got an orchestra

### 5/5 — Best game I’ve played in years!

*2022-09-09, version 1.2.0*

I was so impressed by this game. I haven’t found many new games that keep me playing for hours in a long time. Glow fish, odmar, campfire, are some great adventure games and graphics are amazing. This game is up there with the beat! Love the story, the fact you have puzzles, boss levels, and small battles all in one! LOVE IT!!!! I will play many times, please tell me there will be another one!

### 5/5 — Good game but needs one thing

*2022-06-08, version 1.2.0*

I really enjoyed your game but I think with your new update the creatures are really hard to fight and I’m not very good at the game I really like playing the game for the second time because of getting the special items I suggest that you make those new creatures a mode so you can either do normal mode without the new creatures or hard mode with the creatures I would very much appreciate it if you do this

### 1/5 — May be ok with a controller

*2022-06-07, version 1.2.0*

The story is interesting with a fun creepy vibe. However, trying to do this on an iPad is next to impossible. To have to use one finger to slide back and forth on the left side of the screen to control direction (while that action continuously activates the pause button coz its trying to switch apps due to the ipads slide swipe feature), your other hand has to press one button to jump, one button to hold in the air and another to activate the weapon.  Not to mention the buttons aren’t visible so you’re constantly accidentally hitting the wrong button at the wrong second. It is beyond frustrating. It could’ve been great had they thought thru the logistics of what is required to beat the game. As it is, its way too frustrating

### 5/5 — Great!

*2022-03-30, version 1.2.0*

I had played this game before and wanted to play it again but o forgot the name so I scrolled through the App store’s games the. I finally found it and things I couldn’t do before seemed a lot more clear to me like at the beginning you have to press the doors in the order so they spell smile and defeating Simone’s Mom who was that creepy long tentacle person and my favorite is probably the piano because I love playing piano and i thing is a great aspect to the game finding the red wing slugger and the gommbosa grips along with the cutscenes I’ve never finished the game but I can’t wait to see how it ends over all your game is AWESOME!

### 4/5 — Great game but just not excellent

*2022-02-08, version 1.2.0*

Let me first say that the story and world building is superb. Where I started to get frustrated was I felt that this could have easily been a game without combat. Bosses were painfully easy and the final boss was just tedious. Jump puzzles are fine, but I found myself spending a long time doing the same  thing over and over till my thumbs hurt (failing to make a jump or something). I enjoyed the puzzles but the combat seemed unnecessary.

### 2/5 — Game stuck on initial loading screen

*2022-01-02, version 1.2.0*

I’ve played this game on Steam and it’s a beautiful game. Wanted to check out the touch controls so I downloaded this version; however, the game is stuck on the initial loading screen prior to the title screen, effectively rendering the game unplayable on my iPhone XR (running iOS 15.1). I have closed all other apps and restarted my phone to no avail. Any thoughts as to what else I could try in order to get the game working?

### 4/5 — Interesting game

*2021-12-15, version 1.2.0*

Overall the game was very enjoyable! I think it’s straightforward enough to not need a tutorial, and it’s just difficult enough that you sometimes need to think out parts instead of being a mind-numbing game or making you want to rage quit.

But I do wish that some parts of the storyline were clearer, especially the ending. SPOILER AHEAD.
If I’m understanding it correctly, wren does die but later as an adult and now Peet is in a coma struggling with the grieving process. But does he wake up to find that Wren is actually alive and it was all a nightmare? Or does he die and meet wren in the afterlife (considering that it ends with her saying “wake up”)? Why are the grownups zombies? How did the different parents turn into their monsters? Does peet ever deal with basically killing the other kids parents? Do the now-adult kids know that Peet was their doctor? And if they do, why do they recognize Peet as a child? Why is Dr. Smile a spider like thing?? 

I just wish that I wasn’t left with as many questions about the storyline.

### 5/5 — AMAZING DEVELOPMENT

*2021-11-28, version 1.2.0*

This is my favorite game, no contest. I love the mechanics, the story, the graphics, everything. But an update would be nice. Like, a new difficulty you get by beating adventure. Or, a new ranged weapon, or a new tool, or a new area that might contain extra storyline once you kill Doctor Smile on adventure mode. and yes, I have seen Kickstarter areas like the cemetery, and the theater, and shill dungeon. But i have one urgent question. What do shill seeds do? The mirror card flips the world over, but the shill seeds don’t seem to do anything. Anyways, i love the game, and all the characters, but i think a DLC or something would be nice.

### 5/5 — OH MY LORD <33

*2021-11-12, version 1.2.0*

Ive played this game when it just came out on apple arcade, but then i quit because i didn't know what to do when you got the 1st song piece. Now I am past that and there is much more tutorials/ gameplays to figure out where to go. love this game
