It is super cute and fun! It really shows how clever and funny wombats are! Definitely worth more than its selling for! Thank you for this amazing game and experience 9.9224/10 ### 5/5 — Inspiring and Wondrous! *2023-03-09, version 1.0.7* This game has made me more excited to draw! I love the water colour art style and how the little wombat stumbles around! It’s also super calming! Overall, great game! You should 100% get it! ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2023-02-23* 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. ### 5/5 — Wombat Therapy *2022-09-09* 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. ### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME *2021-05-15, version 1.0.7* I am obsessed with wombats so this is perfect for me! It is also a great game for you too! Because it has great graphics, it is a real life experience. You even get to feed & control the wombat! ### 5/5 — Spell bound *2020-11-28, version 1.0.7* Truly glorious and wonderful adventure. Lovely. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2020-11-12, version 1.0.7* A beautiful experience. I played this with my 4yr old and she loved it. One thing I would like to see added if possible, are labels for the stickers we collect, as I was not familiar with some of the plants. ### 5/5 — It’s such a sweet game! *2020-07-09, version 1.0.7* I played this game a lot. Over and over. If you care a lot about nature, I suggest this game for you. The wombat is adorable and very well animated. It really tells a real-life story! I suggest you should make more fantastic games like this! Thanks for making this game real. 😍 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 ### 5/5 — It’s great *2019-09-20, version 1.0.7* Hi ## Frequently asked questions about Paperbark ### What is Paperbark?
