### 2/5 — Controls on iPhone make this unplayable

*2026-07-22, version 1.5.4*

This game has potential but the mini game controls in particular on the iPhone make this unplayable. It’s very frustrating. I didn’t have any crashes yet as other people have reported, but I can’t get very far in the game due to the controls.

### 1/5 — Still broken- scam app

*2026-06-20, version 1.5.4*

Crashes after a few min. Known bug they won’t fix (see reviews from 2yr ago). Just want your money.

### 5/5 — ngôn ngữ

*2026-05-29, version 1.5.4*

game hay cần thêm tiếng việt nam

### 5/5 — Topspiel

*2026-05-29*

Sehr schöner, leichte Unterhaltung

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

### 4/5 — No tutorial

*2026-05-24, version 1.5.4*

ไม่สอนให้ข้าวน้องหมาปล่อยน้องหิวตั้งนาน T^T

### 4/5 — Gostei mas falta muita coisas para melhorar

*2026-05-21*

Bom

### 1/5 — Game Keeps Crashing on iPad

*2026-05-17, version 1.5.4*

The game keeps crashing after only a few minutes of gameplay. I’ve tried reopening the app and restarting my device, but the issue still happens constantly, making the game unplayable.

### 4/5 — Cozy game and cute characters

*2026-05-15, version 1.5.4*

It’s my first time playing this game, and the characters are really lovely. The place is nice, and the game is enjoyable, but my concern is that after a few minutes of playing, the game crashes, goes back to the home screen, and starts from the beginning again. Maybe the iPhone XR really can’t run it properly, huhuhu

### 5/5 — Volle Punktzahl.

*2026-05-12*

Eine Vorbemerkung betreffend einer anderen Rezension, in der sich jemand beschwert dass es nicht genauso ist wie ein anderes Spiel dieses Genres: was macht am meisten Spass? Etwas NEUES zu entdecken und nicht eine Kopie des vorhandenen. So. Nun zum Spiel. Nach etwa 3 Stunden Spieldauer kann man sagen: es hat Charme! Es ist verspielt, ohne Zeitdruck. Es baut auf einer hübschen Idee auf. Sound, Musik und die Grafik wissen zu gefallen. Es ist eine Vollversion die man für eine sehr geringe Summe bekommt, man muss also nicht wie in vermeintlich „kostenlosen“ Spielen ständig Geld nachwerfen. Den Machern ging es offenkundig darum einen Traum zu verwirklichen und nicht, in möglichst kurzer Zeit viel Geld zu verdienen. So etwas ist selten und sollte belohnt werden. Volle Kaufempfehlung!👍 P.S. Und es ist auf Deutsch!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

### 1/5 — Fun, but Buggy

*2026-05-12, version 1.5.4*

Lost a lot of progress (~20 hr), it was fun. But somehow i got stuck in a bug and need to start and grind all over again because corrupt state.

Somehow the game bugged a lot while you accidentally swiped out of the game during scenes or fishing. Then the game unplayable or worse it got stuck to next saving day which ruin every progress
