Do not buy

Have an iPhone 6. Played the game once and was beautiful. Tried to play again and it booted me out. Cannot open again. Tried to uninstall and reinstall and won’t download. Waste of money.

Wombat Therapy

This game is wonderful. The music and sounds, the artwork, all give me a chance to recenter and just be present as I walk with a little wombat. It’s best with earbuds. It may be meant as a fun game for all ages and it works very well on that level, but it also helps me with anxiety and getting out of flashbacks due to PTSD. I don’t usually leave reviews(or pay for apps), but hope the game developers know what a difference the little wombat has made for me.
