### 4/5 — Audio works if you use your headphones

*2024-11-18*

For some reason audio only works when playing the game with headphones. Audio doesn’t come through on your phones speakers. This isn’t made clear by the Help section of the developers page. 

Great game!

### 2/5 — Recent update RUINED IT!

*2024-08-04*

Can’t leave well enough alone, I guess. All Pajama Sam games were refreshed and they no longer display in full screen on an iPad?? What a joke!

### 3/5 — Still no sound

*2022-08-28*

Well, I read reviews that there was no sound and I took a chance and bought the pajama Sam 3 pack. No sound on any of the games. 

Very dissappointed

### 4/5 — Great Except for Sound

*2020-01-05*

I loved these games on the PC and so I have them on my phone.... the sound works for the Putt Putt games but both Pajama Sam games don’t have sound..... the subtitles work and I can play the whole games but there’s no sound even though the sound is on in both the game and on my phone.... I tried looking up how to fix it but I couldn’t find a solution... can anyone help???

### 1/5 — terrible

*2018-09-13, version 1.2.0*

I paid 4 .99$ and I cannot even access my tool inventory. Refund please

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2018-07-10*

Too many bugs, cannot complete the game even after resetting the story multiple times. Would be wonderful otherwise. But very disappointed.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2017-12-29*

I love the game, but im not able to move around the Walkie talkie to find the inspector

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-08-28*

This game is the EXACT PC game I used to play when I was little! I 100% recommend this app! There's no Ads or pop ups. Everything is perfect!!

### 1/5 — No sound

*2016-02-09, version 1.1.5*

Definitely disappointed there is no sound.

### 5/5 — Best of the Pajama Sam Series

*2015-10-30*

A classic 90's computer game ported perfectly to modern devices, giving another generation a chance to experience them. Multiple paths and characters to meet in-game, collectable puzzle pieces, high quality 2D animation and outstanding voice acting. One flaw compared to the computer edition is that you can no longer save and load, relying solely on the automatic resume feature. Overall kids get to learn about the weather in an entertaining way, compressed from the original 400 MB PC game to only 100 MB on iOS is impressive. Perfect game for kids and nostalgic adults.

### 1/5 — There is no sound

*2025-09-01*

Fix this game before selling it to people.

### 1/5 — Update changed it for the worse

*2025-05-21*

The last update absolutely destroyed the playability of this game. It actually changed how it operated from its original version, which is very similar to the original PC version. now it's a totally broken game and is very different from the original one that I purchased I wish there was an option for a refund because this is fraud

### 1/5 — Game froze

*2025-03-07*

I am having another issue with pajama Sam this time. It’s pajama Sam 2 thunder and lightning aren’t so frightening. It froze and I tried saving and every time I exit the game and try to go back. I have to restart the whole game all over again. I love pajama Sam no need to hide when it’s dark outside. Pajamas, Sam 2 thunder, and lightning aren’t so frightening and pajama Sam 3 you are what you eat from your head to your feet I love these games and I hope all of the issues of all three of these games get fixed.

### 1/5 — Sid locating the snowflake inspector in the werehouse

*2025-02-05, version 1.5.4*

I am having another issue with pajama Sam this time. It’s pajama Sam 2 thunder and lightning are so frightening. I am having an issue with Sid locating the snowflake inspector in the warehouse every time I try to get Sid to move around the screen it doesn’t work at all and I can’t locate the snowflake inspector. And there was this one time the game crashed and froze. I had to start all over again. I love Pajama Sam 1. Pajama Sam 2 and Pajama Sam 3 these three games are my favorite games I hope these issues with all three of these games gets fixed.

### 1/5 — Update is scam. Steals old app replaces it with broken one.

*2024-11-29*

The Humongous games mean everything to me. I want to support them. However, this game is completely unplayable with the new engine. It's upsetting that I purchased one product that was reliable to one day wake up to a completely new product.

 This wasn't just an update, it's essentially an entirely new app running on something that doesn't work. I wish I could get my money back since I had my old product basically stolen from me through the update. The same thing is happening to ALL the apps that have recieved this 'update' (app switching)

 Game crashes around every 10 clicks on iPad Pro-- you will be unable to click anything. Sometimes it fixes itself when you exit and return to the app, but most of the time it doesn't. You have to save often and reload if you want to progress at all since when you close the game it does not save your current stage (unlike in the old version)

 Frustrates the heck out of my toddler, who I'm trying to introduce to my childhood games. 

 Here's what you should all do instead of buying this: 

 Extract the .HE0, .HE1, .HE3 and .HE4 files from your old Humongous CD Roms on your computer, transfer them onto your iPad on properly named folders. (I.E. the HE0,HE1,HE3,HE4 you extracted from Putt Putt Travels Through Time, you put in it's own folder titled ike the game) Then install ScummVM's iPad and import your games that way.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2019-06-13*

I downloaded it and immediately didn’t get any sound, only subtitles. Couldn’t get sound to turn on no matter how hard I tried and it really bummed me out cause I was stoked to play this game since I owned it when I was a child

### 1/5 — bug

*2019-01-27*

This game is actually incredible and perfect and exactly like the computer game. My problem is not being able to finish because of a bug (or maybe more). Would definitely change my review to 5 stars if they fixed the bug with the walkie talkie

### 5/5 — Great game for all ages

*2025-04-23*

These Pajama Sam games that teaches kids how to not to be scared of the “Dark” and also teach them not to be afraid of “Thunder and Lightning.” A kid with a crazy imagination also a huge superhero fanfic. The actress who voiced Sam in the 3 games is Pamela Adlon who voiced Bobby hill in “King of the hill.” These games are so much fun.

### 5/5 — Fatty bear

*2024-11-23*

You need to add Fatty Bear’s Birthday Surprise for the IOS! Please!

### 5/5 — Audio fix

*2023-10-13*

For anyone having audio issues with this app or any other humongous games on iOS or iPadOS regarding audio, make sure your volume is up then make sure Notifications are not MUTED (Silence switch OFF on iOS, Bell icon has no line through it in control panel on iPadOS.) I thought the games were bugged then found a fix myself. Hope this helps!

### 5/5 — You need to have a fresh new start

*2023-06-30*

So people who have been having problems with the noses I think I have a way to fix it just get a iPad update it wipe it down charge it and all the apps fresh and new ones change the back round and then make your iPad have a fresh new start oh and make sure you buy a iPad from apple so then you can make every thing work evin your games!

### 5/5 — Humongous Bundle is so worth the money

*2022-10-24*

if you’re having issues with sound, please make sure your phone isn’t on silent! flip the switch on the side of your phone.

anyway! the nostalgia bomb that was dropped on me when I bought this is so powerful— I haven’t played these since I was a kid. now I can easily share these games with my own child! love them.

### 5/5 — Great game from childhood

*2022-07-26*

And for the people saying no sound: YOUR RINGER MUST BE ON!

### 5/5 — 90s game

*2022-06-20*

I saw this on tik tok!! I’m so glad they brought the 90’s games back and updated it to the apple store. I used to play these games when I was at the youth center in the early 2000’s

### 5/5 — High quality- but my least favorite of the 3

*2020-11-11*

I like the other Pajama Sam games more than this one because they are more colorful and look like earth (forest, lakes, etc.). This one looks more like a construction site. If you like looking at a lot of grey and sky you’ll like this one. I kinda get lost because I can’t tell where I am it all looks similar. I think it’s harder than games 1&3. I’m still giving it 5 stars because it’s well made and there’s no problems. The characters are really cute and quirky with interesting voices like 1 & 3. Pajama Sam is my favorite game, I wish they made more of them. No games made today compare to Humongous Entertainment games.

### 5/5 — Inventory?

*2019-03-19, version 1.2.0*

Where’s the inventory?!

### 5/5 — Still is fun!

*2018-09-16*

I'm a teen and STILL love this. It makes you think while making things fun
