Glad it lets you try the game out before buying as I would not have been happy spending so much for an app that isn’t even optimized for current devices. ### 2/5 — 😭 *2026-01-02* Хотелось бы поиграть бесплатно побольше 😞 ### 4/5 — Cool *2025-11-19, version 1.07* It’s a really good game but you have to pay 25 CAD to play the entire game. ### 4/5 — Great game *2025-10-27, version 1.07* Great game, loved it in seconds! But to buy the next area is personally in my mind, dumb and crazy, especially with the fact it’s made for people 4+, there is going to be children playing this game who are going to want to buy the next area but they most likely can’t because their parents will say no. Please change it because me and other people would want to buy the rest of the game but can’t! ### 2/5 — Why u bully me *2025-08-17, version 1.07* Ok,... I LOVE THIS GAME! But... I HATE that I have to pay to play. So... Um... Pls change that. ### 4/5 — Heart and fish *2025-05-25, version 1.07* You easy to be kill and fishing is hard since theres no tip for fish! Overall is a really good and cute game ### 2/5 — Game worth the money UNTIL robot fights *2025-05-09* Ok so I almost never review games unless I have really good things to say. I’m a positive person and this world is tough, so I’m all about spreading positivity and making the best of things. But I was nearly driven to madness by this game and I cannot let this go without saying something. Prior to the “mecha shrew” fighting (which for me is when I’m already like 83% through the game) I thought this game was INCREDIBLE. So many people complain and say it’s expensive or misleading or whatever. But so far I’ve felt it’s been worth every penny. Fantastic. Then came the “mecha shrew” desert monster fighting… It is so infuriatingly designed, so poorly timed and poorly explained, and so beyond frustrating (at least for me on mobile - perhaps it is different on other platforms) that it genuinely has ruined my experience with the rest of the game. Your shield sometimes just doesn’t block damage even if you time it PERFECTLY and you are not supposed to take damage while you use the laser but guess what!? Sometimes you take some anyway because why not?! And the cooldown for your actions is often too long to match up with the actions of your opponent so just by sheer math, you’re set up to lose! This aspect of the game is so small, yet so large because it unlocks sections of the map. And unless it’s fixed, it turns a 5+ star game into complete trash. Seriously guys. ### 4/5 — почему! *2025-03-29* Почему когда я открываю игру и выбираю лёгкий или нормальный то подождать загрузку мин и игра вылетает ### 3/5 — Can’t Play *2025-03-20, version 1.05* I get as far as ‘New Game’ -> ‘Difficulty’ -> ‘loading…’ And then i get the boot. Purchase screen says my device is compatible. (As it is older, however, i will take some potential responsibility; I won’t give a ridiculously low rating for this issue.) ### 3/5 — 🌺 *2025-03-05* Хорошая,милая игра,много логических задач,дают достаточно много уровней чтобы попробовать,однако после лунного леса или чего то такого,уже не помню идет платеж. ### 4/5 — Игра прикольная🤗 *2025-03-03* Разработчики, очень крутая и затягивающая игра, только иногда не понятно что нужно делать дальше, это печально... 😔 Желаю вам делать побольше таких игр! ### 3/5 — Lots of fun but, PAY WALL *2025-02-19, version 1.05* This game is a lot of fun and Zelda-ish with puzzles. You can get a lot done BUT after one area there is a PAY WALL of over $20! That’s not great for a mobile app. You can get it on STEAM but I downloaded it for mobile use. Needless to say, I won’t be paying that much for a mobile game. ### 5/5 — This is best game ever *2025-02-14, version 1.05* This game has no problems and is the best mobile game ever, i love it and play it eveyday. This truly is peak ### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME LOVE IT *2025-02-14, version 1.05* This game is the best mobile game I have ever played it is so fun and have so much to do. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 25$ and lag *2025-10-07, version 1.07* OK I get that this game looks like it took a long time to make, but after playing the start of the game, I finish the first boss.. okay, this game is fun! But as soon as I’m almost to the town of moon or whatever, there’s a 25 CAD pay wall? If your game is free to download, then why have the paywall inside the game? On top of that, every single cutscene crashes, and it lags the whole way through. I’m sure it’s a good game but make it so that YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY MONEY PLEASE this game has so much potential but the devs ruined it for me ### 1/5 — Great game-terrible price *2025-04-20, version 1.05* Why exploit such a splendid and creative game by having it cost over $20? C’mon creator , boo ### 1/5 — The most expensive game I’ve ever seen *2025-03-17, version 1.05* This game is so expensive it’s terrible ### 1/5 — Paid game *2024-12-24, version 1.05* Really good game and all but I can only play one chapter due to it being a payed game :( ### 1/5 — Вылет *2024-12-17* Вылетает на экране загрузки. iPad 5gen ### 1/5 — I dont like that I have to pay *2024-11-27, version 1.05* When I first started I really liked it and wanted to progress but when I went to go to get the next thing (I forgot what's it's called) I had to pay ### 1/5 — Could be Great *2024-10-14, version 1.03* But the app crashes every time I go to the cut scene after learning the monkey dance. My iPad is compatible. The battle with Kupu is too stacked in his favour and ends up being very boring. Disappointed with lack of response from developer both on here and on messenger. Not going to continue with this game. Feels like I wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Supremely Paywalled *2024-09-09* This is a great game - at least, it would be. Rather than outright telling you that certain sections are inaccessible (i.e., pretty much the entirety of the game), you are forced to find this out on your own. The full game is around $24 to buy all of the expansions, $5 per area, but you don't figure that out until you've already invested a significant amount of time into the game, got to those areas, and found that they were blocked off. This would be an amazing game if it were fully free, mostly free (with some paid sections), or even fully paid-for, but no. It instead pulls some weird bait and switch. Again, almost ALL of the game is inaccessible, past the first villiage and a few small areas you can explore. It should be listed on here as an unpaid demo instead of a game, but instead they went the deceptive route. In short, don't play this game thinking it's a free game; it's not. ### 1/5 — can’t justify spending almost $30 to complete a game *2024-09-01, version 1.02* This game started out so fun and actually enjoyable to play! I love the character designs and the story until I was basically blocked from completing this game due to the pay wall. I can’t imagine spending $30 on a game I’ll be done with in 4 days. It would’ve been fun to finish the game but sadly spending that much money on a game in this economy is not justifiable. ### 1/5 — Crashes Immediately *2024-09-01, version 1.02* Not worth the price ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 연휴 시작 기념으로 깔았는데 이틀 순삭됏네요.. *2026-02-15* 오구 넘 귀엽습니다 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 퀘스트 하나하나 깨다보니 서브까지 다 완료하고 엔딩보는데 감동 ... 스토리도 좋고 미션들도 생각보다 챌린징하게 만들어서 손에 땀나가면서 열심히 햇네요 ㅋㅋㅋ진심 인생게임입니다 ### 5/5 — ? *2025-12-07* Не работает кнопка ( в левом верхнем углу кнопка квеста ) что бы отслеживать задания что делать ? ### 5/5 — 게임 오류인지 확인 부탁드립니다 *2025-10-04* 안녕하세요. 뒤늦게 이 게임에 빠져서 엄청 재밌게 플레이 중입니다. 다만 바이킹 모자를 얻고 싶은데 설원 미션을 거의 다 끝낸 뒤에도 도저히 바이킹동굴이 해제가 안됩니다ㅜㅠㅠ 카리 통해서 얼음도 깼는데 공략을 살펴봐도 제가 다 깼던 부분들이더라구요. 이게 게임 오류인지 확인 한번 해주실 수 있을까요 ### 5/5 — Loved it *2025-08-20, version 1.07* Smooth cute and interesting:) ### 5/5 — Very good! *2025-07-12, version 1.07* This game is very fun to play and being able to get new hats and other collectibles is cool! They should definitely add on to the game or create a sequel! ### 5/5 — 정말 정말 귀엽고 재밌는데.. *2025-05-11* 게임이 정말 귀엽고 퀘스트도 많고 아이템도 많고 너무 좋은데.. 사이드 퀴스트들 중 테니스 마스터 이기는거나 레이싱 이기는거는 거의 불가능 할 정도로(특히 핸드폰 조작으로는) 너무 어려워요. 그리고 요리할때 버튼이 너무 안눌러져서 짜증나요 ㅠㅠ 어플용으로는 그 부분들을 좀 개선해서 업데이트 해주시면 너무 감사하겠어요 ㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — Love this game ^-^ *2025-05-01* This game was so fun for me! Just beat the final boss and I still have some side quests to do, but overall this game was super interesting and enjoyable. $25 for the full game isn’t that pricey in my opinion, since I played it for so long! I had a little bit of a bug with the cooking and it wouldn’t let me tap, but other than that I think it’s a beautiful game. The puzzles were fun and challenging which made the game so addicting. Wish I could play it again for the first time! ### 5/5 — Очень ламповая и уютная игра) *2025-04-02* Разработчики дают возможность поиграть в демо-версию игры, чтобы подумать, покупать её или нет. Я купила все дополнения, так как очень понравился геймплей. Классная графика и диалоги с НПС, нетрудные головоломки, в общем, залипнуть можно. Достойная игрушка, чтоб провести там время с удовольствием) ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2025-03-25, version 1.05* I can’t figure out why this game isn’t rated higher? It’s an engaging, characterful adventure with brilliantly expressive graphics and plenty to sink your teeth into. It’s worth noting that after completing the first area, it costs £3.99 to open each next area or you can buy the full game for £18. Well worth it though for a game of this calibre. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Tis Good Stuff *2025-02-18, version 1.05* Absolutely loved this game! From the graphics to the music, it was genuinely one of the most fun games I’ve played in a long time. The storyline was so well thought out and the puzzles made it so much fun. The challenge of it all made it all the more exciting to play. Well worth the price as it has so much to offer. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
