I tried closing it downs an reopening it and still the same issue ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — ... *2020-01-31, version 1.3* i love this game n’ all but why can i get in im always stuck on the loading screen although it is cute.. i wish i could get in.. ### 3/5 — Enjoyable, but needs a few tweaks *2019-12-03* I really love this game. It's cute, enjoyable, and delightful. That said, I've had 80% on the first level for a long while and can't get any more gold animals. The percentage of gold animals in gold eggs is frustratingly low. If that could be tweaked so it was not so near impossible to get gold animals out of gold eggs, it would be a five star game! ### 4/5 — Bon jeu mais ... *2019-11-21* Graphiquement magnifique et le Gameplay est sympa comme tout ! Cela dit il est difficile d’obtenir des oeufs d’argent voir impossible d’obtenir des œufs d’or . Je pense qu’il faudrait revoir la valeur des actions de façon à obtenir plus de points pour équilibrer tout ça . Mais sinon je recommande 😊 ### 4/5 — Cute game, a lot of fun *2019-11-21* I have enjoyed this game, and it was well worth the purchase. There are some refinements that need to be made, though. 1. [Fixed in 1.1!] There doesn’t seem to be any value to increasing your score after you’ve obtained the best egg. As soon as I get that best egg, I just shuffle the board to end my game. 2. I continue to get animals that I already have and that I’ve already maxed out. I have two animals left on the first level, one uncommon and one rare, and I can’t imagine how long it’s going to take to get them. I’m not motivated to try because of that and because of how easy (boring) that first level is to play. 3. [Fixed by scoring changes in 1.1!] I have hundreds and hundreds of power-ups (migrations, etc.)—far more than I could ever need to use. They’re not useful to me because of #1. Thanks for your hard work on this game! ### 4/5 — Super cool and fun but... *2019-11-13* There’s clearly an undo button missing. Plus if you move a line or a column a bit and don’t remember the initial position you are in trouble, because there is no indication on which tile was where initially! Other than that it’s awesome ### 4/5 — Great for killing time! *2019-11-08* However, always force close after watching ads. Sometimes I switch to other apps such as whatsapp and come back the app will restart ### 4/5 — Great!! *2019-11-07, version 1.03* The only problem I have is. When you watch an ad go to the App Store and back or home screen and back to game it reloads the game causing lost eggs and bonuses. ### 5/5 — Adorable *2019-11-05, version 1.03* It’s one of the cutest things I have ever seen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 😡🤬 ### 1/5 — Thanks *2020-05-04, version 1.3* Thanks for taking away the ability to mute the ads. ### 1/5 — Does not launch *2019-11-04, version 1.03* Can’t play, it’s stuck in the launch loading screen. ### 1/5 — Failure to launch *2019-11-02, version 1.03* Never got passed the “Loading” screen even after closing and reopening AND deleting and redownloading. ### 1/5 — Nopenopenope *2019-10-20, version 1.03* If you read the description it says “works on iPhone 6S” but when it won’t go past the loading screen... I think that’s BS ### 1/5 — Bad experience *2019-10-12, version 1.03* Purchased extra moves option, spent a couple of hours working up to gold eggs and when I tapped double egg for watching ad the game crashed and I got nothing! Support link doesn’t even have a form, it’s just marketing for the developer ### 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. ### 2/5 — Was fun, but seemingly impossible to unlock 3rd area *2020-02-03, version 1.3* I’ve the second area so many times and just can’t get the last animal to unlock the next area, seriously frustrating. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2019-12-07, version 1.1* After I got an ad-free version the game will no longer get past the loading screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Fun *2020-06-23, version 1.3* Fun game i like ### 5/5 — This game is the best!!!! *2020-01-27* Yes it is truly a Lotta fun but I have an idea for how they could improve it if there was a garden area to grow crops that way it would make it easier to get food for your little animals also I think would be cool to have those little animals end in said garden and maybe A special food where if you get double of an animal you can have them have babies!!!!! And the special abilities Like The Fox’s The trees and the weather now for the little foxes you could trade those little foxes out for those abilities and maybe just like how you merge them in the little tile area maybe you could merge those in different ways to get the different abilities🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊I LOVE THE FOXS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Slide 🐧 *2020-01-25, version 1.3* Simply Art ### 5/5 — Finally something different! Great Game! *2019-12-07* If you like merging or match three games, this is the game for you! There are multiple levels that progressively increase in difficulty as you move along in the game; the difficulty level is not frustratingly hard and at the same time not mind boringly easy. Bright and colorful graphics, smooth gameplay, and cute illustrations make this my new favorite game. The cherry on top of this awesome game? THE ADS that do they show, (because game developers are people too who need a paycheck) ARE VERY MINIMAL, and not at all intrusive, or excessive, or the kind that make you delete the game after 3 minutes. ❤️ Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Pocket forest!! *2019-11-22* I love pocket forest it’s such a good game to relax to if you were on a plane or just bored. But sometimes I forget about it and don’t play it. It’s fun me cause there’s events and you can get new skins for it and I just really recommend this he game. >:) ### 5/5 — Fun and adorable! *2019-11-17, version 1.03* The graphics are super cute and very well done, the game play is entertaining and not too easy or hard, and I enjoy the fact that there’s quests to complete and animals to unlock! 5 stars all around! ### 5/5 — Quick and addictive *2019-11-12, version 1.03* Quick and addictive ### 5/5 — Fun stuff *2019-11-07, version 1.03* Great game can’t get enough ✅ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
