### 1/5 — Got stuck on the loading screen

*2026-01-29*

I downloaded this game because I saw this game at a laundromat and i played this game there and it worked there it was really fun but me and my sister got stuck on the loading screen it’s really fun but it would be more fun if I didn’t get stuck on the loading screen.

### 3/5 — doesn’t load!

*2025-09-17, version 1.3*

it just shows the loading screen but never lets you into the game.

### 1/5 — Loading…

*2024-12-07, version 1.3*

I can’t even play because it takes an hour+ to load and I’m not waiting that long 😡🤬

### 2/5 — Just make it show if it doesn’t work

*2023-10-18*

I used the app but I couldn’t go into the app it stayed on the loading screen just loading and it felt like forever and I deleted it because it didn’t load but I have only about 1.4 gigabytes of storage.

### 3/5 — Loading issue

*2023-07-24, version 1.3*

Just kept on saying loading never opened. I tried closing it downs an reopening it and still the same issue

### 5/5 — Absolute perfect game…BUT

*2022-11-12*

I love this game to bits.  Payed the 5 dollars for no ads and have not regretted it one bit.  Literally love everything about this game.

However, there is ONE thing that COULD be added to the game to fully enhance the experience.  MUSIC FOR THE DIFFERENT AREAS!!  It’s not required, and music isn’t easy to make but a different song for each area would do miles for making the levels feel distinct from one another. ^w^

Anyway, yeah this game is good.  Loot box is perfect, tho tiles maybe a BIT hard to come by (I suppose that’s the point). Anyway, cute, love it, look forward to whatever is planned in the future ^^

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2022-09-17*

I LOVE this game so much! It's so fun and so addicting! I love all the little animals you can get from eggs, and the art style is so cute!!! I just have one suggestion, hints. Sometimes I get confused and don't know what to do next and hints would be a game changer! You could do it like Candy Crush and their lives, you can have a certain amount of hints and when you run out you have to wait a couple hours to get them back! I feel like that would make the game a little bit better! But this game is so so amazing and I totally recommend it!

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2021-08-10*

The game is cute but there are waaay too many ads. I put up with them until one was a bunch of bare stomachs accompanied by a song with curse words in the lyrics. I gave up the game at the moment.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-06-23, version 1.3*

Fun game i like

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2020-05-16, version 1.3*

Soothing, easy, and fun. The only problem is that you’ll never get all the animals.
