Здорово встроено ориентирование по карте. Спасибо за 3 прекрасных дня с этой игрой! ### 5/5 — A lot of fun *2026-02-22, version 1.5.0* This was a fun game to play. Make more like this please. ### 5/5 — Fun, too short *2026-02-04, version 1.5.0* Loved it. Had a great time. I was sad when it was over and I hope we get an expansion or sequel. ### 5/5 — Free trial *2026-02-04, version 1.5.0* Love cozy game. Bought this game and so glad I stumbled upon it. ### 5/5 — The purest game ever *2026-01-26, version 1.5.0* A lovely little game with the most beautiful story! A short game play but so enjoyable start to finish ### 2/5 — Touchscreen controls feel awkward *2026-01-24, version 1.5.0* It looks like a cute game, but the touchscreen controls are awkward. Instead of simulating a controller, with movement controlled on one side of the screen and actions on the other, please have an option for more natural touchscreen controls: lead the character by dragging a path, and tap an object to interact. It currently feels like a hasty port from another platform rather than a native iPad app. ### 4/5 — unable to purchase full game *2026-01-21, version 1.5.0* i love this game and i would really like to buy the full version, but when i click on the 'purchase full game' button, nothing happens. please fix this issue, thank you :) ### 5/5 — simply wonderful *2025-12-24, version 1.5.0* truly lovely and heartwarming experience. it’s very cozy and brings out the joy of exploration 💜 i enjoyed this a lot, so much that this is the first review i’ve ever written. the team did a wonderful job ### 5/5 — Успокаивающая и комфортная игра *2025-12-04* Это была первая игра которую я купила на телефон. Стоимость 250 рублей за полную версию. Пробный период дается достаточный чтобы оценить всю прелесть этой игры. Прошла за 4 дня по часа 1,5 игры. Разработчикам огромное спасибо, получила массу удовольствия ### 3/5 — Great Game Until Glitch *2025-11-25, version 1.4.5* I was loving this game! It was so much fun, cute, and easy to navigate. All of a sudden it crashed though, and then I could never get back into the game! I tried restarting my device, my WiFi, nothing. Wouldn’t get past the loading page. I paid for the full version so I am disappointed! ### 5/5 — Lovely PUZZLE Game *2025-11-24* The best game … Worth every penny … Almost finished with it and I will miss it … Adorable, fun and it makes u think … 💭 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2026-06-16, version 1.5.0* I’ve played before and decided to play again and unlock the full game this time but after redownloading, the game stays on the loading screen even after uninstalling and reinstalling a few times. For context I’m on iPad 11 4th gen ### 1/5 — I can’t figure out how to play this game on my iPhone 16 *2026-06-06, version 1.5.0* I really want to give this game a try but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to maneuver even the simplest of tasks, like using a hammer. ### 1/5 — Can’t get in the game *2026-05-09, version 1.5.0* I can’t get in to the game.it loads then it goes to my home screen. Make it better for that but it looks like a great game on App Store. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Let down *2026-03-29, version 1.5.0* The game is good so I was like finally a free good game but nooo u have to pay for it and I think you shouldn’t because it lags it’s hard to do so I would like it to be free but it’s not it was just a taster 😭😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — Jeu pas gratuit du tout *2026-03-01* Vous ne pouvez aller que jusqu’à un certain endroit (pas très loin) après il faut acheter le jeu en entier. Très décevant… ### 1/5 — Glitch *2025-12-07, version 1.4.5* When I finished the rock-smashing task given to me by ranger Maddie, it glitched, and now I cannot talk to her and get the next task. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-11-05, version 1.4.5* Iphone 6s вылетает в момент загрузки ### 1/5 — Needs more work *2025-10-06, version 1.4.1* This game could be quite fun to play and very cute but it’s feels unfinished. The way you move the character is tricky, slow and very erratic. There is very little help and puzzle solving is quite hard. Don’t know how you are expected to buy the full game when it still needs so much work ### 1/5 — Não gostei *2025-10-05* o jogo é bem bonito porém é muito ruim o jogo, uma jogabilidade difícil de usar ações que não consegui fazer ### 1/5 — How much *2025-10-04, version 1.4.1* Upgrade to full game however no clue how much also unable to locate how much it is ….. rubbish as buyer not aware ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Нереальная игра! *2026-06-11, version 1.5.0* Спасибо большое разработчикам за счастливые два дня в моей жизни 🥹🥹 Игра настолько завораживает, что мне пришлось отложить все свои дела, и окунуться в мир Pine Hearts ❣️ ### 5/5 — Loved it *2026-06-09, version 1.5.0* Absolutely adored this game! My only regret is that I’ve already finished it. I wish it was longer! ### 5/5 — Money Well Spent *2026-06-09, version 1.5.0* I just completed this game and it was a phenomenal experience. It was such a great and heartfelt story of growth and reflection. The visuals were stunning, and I absolutely loved the art direction. You have the opportunity to try before you buy the full game ($4.99) so I highly recommend at least giving it a try. I don’t typically pay for games but I’m glad I did this time. It was money well spent. No regrets! ### 5/5 — Super fun *2026-06-05, version 1.5.0* This was very fun and engaging - the main character unlocks new skills which opens new areas. The game is a bit like a memory maze, so it becomes very zen going down new and old paths on helpful tasks for the other characters. I really liked this game, it had heart, and I wish there was more. I love the accessibility feature which highlights the intractables. Very cool. Thanks!!!! ### 5/5 — It’s awesome *2026-06-03, version 1.5.0* It’s awesome and one of my favorite games since 2013 that’s crazy. ### 5/5 — Melhor jogo da minha vida *2026-05-27* Cara simplesmente o melhor jogo que eu já joguei, no inicio você acha que é só um joguinho bobo mas depois você percebe que não é só isso. Eu me emocionei com o final foi incrível eu até chorei no final não de tristeza um pouco também, mas por ver que o personagem principal conseguiu realizar o que seu sonho. Sem falar do plotwest no final, sério esse foi o melhor jogo da minha vida, apenas vejam por si mesmos, aposto que você também irá si emocionar com esse final. ### 5/5 — Really enjoyed! *2026-05-26, version 1.5.0* I had a lot of fun playing this game. It was very cutesy, easy to control, not timed or a certain amount of lives so no pressure, very relaxing. Touching story as well. I loved it! ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-04-24, version 1.5.0* I absolutely loved playing this game I hope there will be more ### 5/5 — Amazing story/experience *2026-04-18, version 1.5.0* Hello readers and devs, Pine Hearts is an amazing adventure that takes you through 8 different regions of Pine Hearts, a humble area with everything to offer. The progression in this game is excellent; it gave me a reason to re-visit areas I had completed the main story in to hunt for droplets and side quests. The main character is beyond likable and we really get to understand their motivations throughout the story. The memories were unforgettably my least favorite aspect of the game though, their gameplay was confusing and threw me off course from what I was doing in the actual game. Did the main character suffer memory loss? Why can’t they remember? I also was frustrated by the lack of interactions revolving the train station, and NPCs. It seemed I could talk to anyone and everyone in the campsite, but moving towards the golf course you can’t interact as much. Overall though, this was definitely worth my $5 and time. Amazing job, developers, and I can’t wait to see the results of your next project. c: ### 5/5 — Шикарная игра *2026-03-30* Спасибо разработчикам --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
