Two points that have been mentioned previously: as to grabbing Granny apple in the Carmel you have to click on Granny herself and not down below tool bar otherwise you keep jumping into the Carmel. Very frustrating but finally figured it out. Point two you can pick up the plunger on the ski slope BUT.. you can’t aim at it you must get beside it and then it will let you pick it up. Took me ten tries to figure it out lol. Overall great game as I remember it with my kids. ### 2/5 — Fun but very buggy *2026-02-21* It’s a lot of fun, they did a great job at bringing back all the fun of the original but I keep experiencing bugs that are ruining the experience. If I just turn off my screen and try to turn it back on to play, the screen comes right back up where I left off but no input works anymore. I can’t click anything including being able to save my game which is frustrating. I close out the game entirely and lose all my progress before the last save which can be 20-30 minutes of progress lost sometimes. The pan and zoom screen option is also very buggy and I’ve found it unusable. If this gets fixed I’d happily adjust my review to 5 stars because I love this game so much. ### 2/5 — No sound *2025-03-16* I was very excited to play this game again but there’s no sound. Very disappointed ### 2/5 — Update problems *2024-10-09* I am having a lot of trouble with the newest update in 2 areas. The first has been discussed before when I ski down the hill when I try to get the plunger Sam misses it. The other problem is when I was in jail when I stretch the screen the quit and menu buttons get in the way of the cookie box top and it makes it hard to tap. I love this game and I hope it gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Hate the new update! *2024-08-05* The screen is way too small now, and why is the skip button so big? Please change it back to the way it was! ### 2/5 — I wish they never updated this game or any others *2024-07-28* My child loves Pajama Sam and plays these games on repeat. However the new update has made the playing screen too small for her to really be able to point and click. Also there’s a major bug. When she had to ski according to the ski ticket instructions to get the plumbers plunger off the mountain she kept trying to grab it, and the game would not let her. She rage quit and said she doesn’t want to play Pajama Sam ever again. ### 2/5 — A hollow version of the original *2023-04-25* Very disappointed to see most of the game is missing, making the game a short hollow version of the original. When something is great don’t change it. ### 3/5 — Kinda disappointed... *2020-10-26* Loved this game as a kid. However I remember granny being tossed around by the cans or something..in this game I have been EVERYWHERE and I don’t see granny ANYWHERE...how can I complete the game without granny?...REFUND please? ### 5/5 — Great! *2020-08-31* The nostalgia!!! It’s just like old times ### 1/5 — ? *2020-08-19* There is no sound and I cannot save Granny Smith because there are no dance lessons. Very disappointing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2026-03-05* Keeps freezing and glitching. So annoying and I’m mad I paid money for this! ### 1/5 — Do not purchase!! *2025-11-10* This game has no sound and sound is needed to play. Apple will not refund!! ### 1/5 — Update problems *2025-07-16* I am having a lot of trouble with the newest update in 2 areas. The first has been discussed before when I ski down the hill when I try to get the plunger Sam misses it. And I have to go down the same route again sometimes I get the plunger sometimes I don’t The other problem is when pajama Sam was in jail when I stretch the screen the quit and menu buttons get in the way of the cookie box top and it makes it hard to tap. And another thing that I just discovered that there are times when I temporarily step out of the app and when I go back in to save the game becomes frozen and it’s having the same problem on pajama Sam, no need to hide when it’s dark outside. I love these games and I hope they get fixed. ### 1/5 — Bug *2025-02-01* Can’t get plunger so can’t progress :/ sad ### 1/5 — Update problems *2024-12-27* I am having a lot of trouble with the newest update in 2 areas.

Developer has updated game but is ignoring feedback at this point, AVOID THIS VERSION AS IT IS A SCAM! ### 1/5 — This update is a scam. Replaces old product with a broken one. DONT BUY *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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Classic Humongous *2025-09-08* I dunno what’s up with other people saying the game is broken. I got the plunger no problem. ### 5/5 — Please put out pajama Sam4 *2024-11-02* I am 26 years old. I grow up playing these games but pajamas, Sam 4 was in his my favorite game of all of them please put it out ### 5/5 — Game tips *2023-11-09* There’s alternate versions each time you play. So for example sometimes the photo booth may not work, granny may not be getting tossed around by the cans etc. So maybe try a different way😉(i played these games ALOT as a kid) ### 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 — If you have audio problems *2023-09-26* The music and sound wouldn’t work for me when my phone was on silent. Turning the ringer on fixed it! ### 5/5 — Pajama Sam you are what you eat *2023-01-30* Super jeu pour les enfants pratiquant leur anglais. Amusant, intelligent.et très bien réalisé ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-11-03* Great game! Bring back memories ### 5/5 — Child Hood Game! *2021-09-24, version 1.2.2* Loved this back on the ps1 and it works just as well on iOS. ### 5/5 — There is sound problem *2021-01-15* I cannot hear any sound while i game!! Waiting for your reply ### 5/5 — Finally! *2020-11-11, version 1.2.2* I didn’t get to play this one as a kid. I think I was a little older and we stopped going to the library. So I didn’t know a third Pajama Sam game existed. But then like 6 years ago me and my sister discovered it. We bought the DVD for it, but couldn’t get it to play on our laptops because it was designed for older computers. So we thought we couldn’t play it, until I saw it on the App Store! This game is so amazing, I bought the bundle, and I play this one the most of the 3 games. I love the first game just as much, but I remember it better so I play it less. There are still new paths I can take with this game because it switches up when you start a new game, which I think is the most awesome thing ever! For adults and kids alike, this game is tons of fun and 100x more exciting than any modern game on the App Store I’ve played. It’s an adventure and you feel like you are there in the game. It has so much more detail than the previous 2 games, so I really love that. It takes a while to finish but that’s the fun of it. Get a friend to play it with you, and you’ll be imitating the voices in no time. I love love love Humongous Entertainment and I’m gonna buy more of their games. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
