Wish there was more to it. ### 2/5 — No sound *2024-02-17, version 1.3.1* I LOVE THIS GAME (I did as a kid too), but there’s NO SOUND 😩😩😩 ### 3/5 — Good butt…….. *2023-12-30, version 1.3.1* Hi there people good morning afternoon or whatever time you are reading this, so this game is good to get but some problems with the game. So the game has, not 1 little add on it, no glitches have been found for me, and the game is extremely fun for the first time you play. But after that it is extremely boring and extremely easy to play, another thing is unlike the other two games where you can choose what you want to do in them this game just chooses for you which is not the best when you want to play it a tipe of way which is really annoying and more annoying than anything else. But overall it’s good so I would say 3 stars will be best but great game and you get used to it after a little while so get the game have some fun and if you want to read this just for fun and you already have this game then you know what I mean when I say the pencil is so good! ### 2/5 — There appears to be a glitch when you tap ANYTHING in the kitchen *2023-12-11, version 1.3.1* It renders the game unwinnable; has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there a way to fix it? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — memories ruined:( *2025-07-12, version 1.5.4* i started the game and had sound and it played great but all of a sudden it just stopped working:( no sound and i couldn’t reach the ores no matter how far i swung. ### 1/5 — Can't use items at all? *2025-05-11, version 1.5.4* Unplayable. ### 1/5 — Would like to play *2025-04-30, version 1.5.4* I haven’t been able to continue the game sir to the items not being an option to use which I need to continue the game so if that’s gets fixed we’ll be good ### 1/5 — Good game, no sound *2025-02-14, version 1.5.4* Game pay is great, it’s easy and fun and brings back tons of memories. Problem is, NO VALUME. I bought this game months ago, thinking this would be a quick patch, but still NO VALUME!!! ### 1/5 — New update is a scam- steals old working game and replaced 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 *2024-09-23, version 1.5.4* DO NOT BUY. No audio on iPhone. Disappointed this company I loved ripped me off this way ### 1/5 — New update stinks! Please change back! *2024-08-23* Thoroughly have enjoyed reliving my childhood with the entire Pajama Sam series here on the App Store and sharing it with my nieces and nephews. But this latest update has completely ruined the experience with the smaller window and obnoxious save, load and skip buttons that take up way too much screen space and shrink the actual game play screen. You all had it perfect before and now it feels like it’s ruined. Please revert back to the original gameplay setup! ### 1/5 — New update ruins game *2024-08-14, version 1.4.7* The new update makes it so it shows the game in a small window with wide borders that say skip, save, or load. Almost half the screen is taken up by buttons I don’t need to use. In its current form this game is unplayable for me and I will try again in a few weeks hoping for some fix to this ### 1/5 — Needs Fixed *2024-07-20* Was SO excited to play this game from my childhood! Warning!! Me and many others are experiencing an issue where you cannot grab the paddles from the swinging chandelier. I’m very surprised that this hasn’t been fixed after reading so many people having the same problem. That being said you cannot proceed past that point. Wish I could get a refund! ### 1/5 — Unable to finish game *2024-01-17* There seems that be a glitch where I can’t grab the ores… please fix ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2025-07-15, version 1.5.4* My favorite game from childhood in my pocket. Nice!!! ### 5/5 — Pas de VF … *2025-05-30, version 1.5.4* Maj en français SVP ! ### 5/5 — The most nostalgic game *2025-05-29* I played this as a kid. And I still play it. It’s funny, colorful, and cozy. The soundtrack is unforgettable. A great game to play when I want to take a trip down “memory lane.” Thank you, Pajama Sam, for all the years of fun and adventure. May the game carry on its legacy. Now grab your lunch box, flashlight, and mask and dive into the world of imagination! ### 5/5 — No longer full screen *2024-11-19* The update ruined the game. Please make it full screen again! ### 5/5 — Thank you for listening Humongous *2024-11-10* I previously wrote a review expressing disappointment with the new display that had large save, quit, and skip buttons and I would like to rescind that review. I’m not sure if it was fixed or I just missed that detail about changing it. Regardless, thank you once again Humongous and keep doing what you’re doing:) ### 5/5 — 100 stars *2024-07-30, version 1.4.7* Thank you for returning childhood ### 5/5 — Pure nostalgia *2024-07-29, version 1.4.7* Loved this as a kid, glad it's still around to bring back memories of simpler times. ### 5/5 — Ben & Becky and more *2024-06-30, version 1.3.1* Please add Big Thinkers Kindergarten and 1st Grade and also Putt Putt and Pep’s Balloon O Rama ### 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 — I LOVE pajama sam! *2023-08-07, version 1.3.1* This is one of if not THE best video game EVER!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
