## What is Pompo?

A bear named Pompo embarks on an adventure with a backpack.
On his way, he meets the Mimic, who whispers,
"I feel a special kind of power coming from you."

The ancient golem known as the "Pathfinder" awakens from its deep slumber,
and Pompo sets out to explore the continent alongside his 36 companions.
Awaiting them is the fearsome Demon King, Lampa.

From the Lake of Constellations to the Tower of Stars and the Tower of Time,
each journey is filled with wonder and mystery, where hope and darkness walk side by side.

Now, as the knight from the legends, it's time for Pompo to illuminate the shrouded paths.

### 1/5 — mr kevin Nguyen

*2026-04-04, version 1.0.23*

game have alot issues with no fix and keep badly

### 2/5 — Lag

*2026-02-10, version 1.0.21*

O jogo parecer ser muito bom, mas não consigo jogar porque tudo que vou abrir demora de mais, e as vezes nem abre

### 1/5 — 課金内容が反映されないクソゲー

*2026-02-06, version 1.0.21*

課金額に依らず課金アイテムは手に入りません。無課金で楽しんでください。

### 5/5 — パンダが可愛い

*2026-02-05, version 1.0.21*

パンダ最高！パンダ最強！
バックパックゲームが好きならやるべし！！

### 2/5 — 要約:バック要素なし放置効率悪すぎ課金誘導露骨

*2026-01-26, version 1.0.21*

シナジーなどを期待していたが、バック要素がない。同じものが出たら足せるだけ。何時間も放置しても全然ステージ進まない。画面付けた上で放置しないといけない。そんなの放置ゲーム名乗るなや。やたら広告を見させるため、世界観や雰囲気が台無し。広告を見ないとバックが広げられないし、課金石を買わないと実績の報酬やらが貰えない。よくあるゲームだけに本当に残念だった。LINEゲームのやつのがまだマシ。金稼ぎの道具としてのゲームに思えた。愛がない。返信不要です、レビューにちゃんと返信してるなーと思ったらなにも活かされてないゲームやらされたので。あーあ。さよなら。

### 1/5 — Poor internet connection

*2026-01-13, version 1.0.20*

This game has some potential, but please fix your internet connection. Even I have a full bar of WiFi, it keeps showing me ‘syncing data, please check your internet connection’.

### 2/5 — Bug issues

*2026-01-12, version 1.0.19*

This game is fun but it keeps crashing, I’ve played for 10 minutes and it has crashed twice no reason why, the screen shakes freeze and becomes unplayable. Its gameplay is fun but the bugs make it intolerable

### 3/5 — Connecting

*2025-12-29, version 1.0.19*

The connecting and loading is taking so long, every single tap u have to wait and wait, it has potential but not worth waiting at every single click

### 3/5 — キャラデザは良いけど…

*2025-12-17, version 1.0.18*

限られたスペースに武器ピースをはめて攻撃効率を高めるパズル要素は新鮮だったけど2週間も続ければ無感動の反復作業に落ち着きます。
作業量がモノを言うランキングに逆転の要素僅少。
荒らす住民は居ないので何か操作してノンビリ交流していれば良いって人には薦められます。

### 5/5 — ดีๆ

*2025-12-14, version 1.0.18*

เพลินๆ
