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. ### 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 ### 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 ### 4/5 — Great game, needs a save function *2026-05-10, version 1.5.4* This is a fun game, a lot like Stardew (although it shouldn’t be more expensive imo). There’s a lot to do in the beginning too. Things I wish it had: a way to save progress without going to sleep and more patients in the clinic. ### 3/5 — Fishing *2026-05-05, version 1.5.4* When I go fishing, it automatically reels it and I can’t catch any fish my bait just goes to the wastes:((( ### 4/5 — Love but no marriage or babies yet *2026-04-03, version 1.5.4* Hi!! I love the game but am curious as to when or if more ramble interaction will be added and is there any future for creating a family? ### 4/5 — 돈이 사라져요 *2026-03-30, version 1.50* 약물팔고 자고나면(자동저장) 돈이 사라져있어요. 재료만 축나고….왜이러는거죠? ### 3/5 — Buen juego, pero podría ser mucho mejor *2026-03-20, version 1.50* En general el juego es entretenido, pero siento que los desarrolladores podían haber hecho mucho más con la historia, el combate, la dificultad, los controles, los gráficos, las mecánicas… y no lo hicieron por pereza. Siento que es un juego sin terminar. Me faltó que la clínica tuviera mayor protagonismo, atiendes a un paciente cada dos o tres días y como mucho, llenarás 4 camas al mismo tiempo Los controles son horrorosos, cuando desbloqueas nuevas pociones el resto deja de tener sentido, son pocas las mejoras que puedes hacerle a la casa y la clínica, el teletransporte desde tan temprano hace que farmear sea muy sencillo y reiterativo Básicamente eres un trader de pociones… ### 2/5 — Terrible Performance *2026-03-11, version 1.50* It runs at about 15-20 FPS max on an M4 iPad Pro, with no settings anywhere to uncap frame rate. Not sure how you make a low-res pixel art game so unoptimized, but I couldn’t make it through the tutorial without getting nauseous. ### 4/5 — ฝากนำไปปรับปรุง *2026-02-25, version 1.50* จากการทดลองเล่นไปเล็กน้อย สนุกดี น่าเล่นต่อ ข้อเสนอแนะ : ฉันอยากให้มีการบันทึกการเล่นของฉันตอนไหนก็ได้ ไม่ใช่แค่ต้องไปนอนที่เตียงถึงจะบันทึกการเล่น เพราะว่าหากมีเหตุเร่งด่วนต้องหยุดเล่นเกมกลางคันมันจะไปที่เตียงไม่ได้ แล้วถ้ากดออกเลย มันก็ไม่บันทึกการเล่น ต้องเริ่มเล่นใหม่ ดังนั้นควรมีการบันทึกการเล่นได้ โดยจะมีในการตั้งค่าก็ได้ ขอบคุณค่ะ ### 4/5 — O jogo fica saindo. *2026-01-20* Olha, o jogo é lindo, história e personagens muito bem desenvolvidos. O problema que eu gostaria que concertassem é que o jogo sempre cai e perco todo o processo. Concertem, por favor. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — 😭 *2026-05-12, version 1.5.4* Iphone xr ### 1/5 — No Chinese select *2026-01-18, version 1.50* No more ### 1/5 — Nicht gut. *2026-01-17* Das Spiel macht zu Beginn wirklich Spaß. Die Atmosphäre Das erkunden der Welt und das Alchemie System wirken zunächst sehr motivierend. Leider ist die Hauptstory sehr schnell abgeschlossen, so dass er früh das Gefühl entsteht, dass nichts mehr Neues kommt. die Beziehungen zu dem Dorfbewohnern bleiben oberflächlich. Man kann zwar Daten, aber man kann weder heiraten noch zusammenziehen, wodurch keine echte Bindung entsteht. Zusätzlich wirken viele Dorfbewohner sehr unfreundlich, dass eine unangenehme Grundstimmung Dorf erzeugt. Die Aufgaben sind immer sehr einfach und überhaupt nicht fordernd. Viele Ideen fühlen sich angefangen und nicht konsequent zu Ende gedacht oder gut umgesetzt an. im Vergleich zu Stardew Valley erreicht Potion Permit höchstens etwa 10 % von dessen tiefe und Langzeit Motivation. **Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the game. We hope you'll like our other games! ### 1/5 — 1 pretty big problem *2025-12-22, version 1.47* The diagnosis minigame is HARD, the buttons are unresponsive sometimes and the buttons are too small, plus the hitbox or whatever is too small, too. So missing the arrow even slightly leads to it being a miss. Otherwise, this game is real fun, but it would be even better if we could have um… Those close-up character arts of the characters when they speak to us, the way we have them in Stardew Valley, we can see their expressions changing whe we talk to them. It’s hard to get attached to any of the characters because of the lack of character arts. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2025-12-16, version 1.47* It’s frustrating as I started the game for like 5mins and game crashed. Then it will make you start all over again… please fix this ### 1/5 — Games broken *2025-11-27, version 1.47* Won’t load and stuck on black screen ### 1/5 — NGECRUSH MULU *2025-11-24, version 1.47* BELI MAHAL" TAPI CRUSH TERUS JADI GAK BISA DIMAININ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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! ### 5/5 — VERY GOOD *2026-02-01, version 1.50_epic* Please bring another game to iOS and iPadOS, I hope next game will be Coral Island ### 5/5 — Важно! *2026-01-26* Что хочу сказать, проиграв весь основной сюжет Я в восторге от игры Конечно хочется видеть дальнейшие обновления, потому что игра того стоит!!! Что бы я добавила… Больше городских событий, больше локаций Когда становишься парой, хочется что бы нпс тоже проявлял инициативу Упрощение интерфейса в виде бегунка А так в целом игра огонь Хочется дальше играть, после прохождения основной главы, поэтому очень ждем обновлений!!! Не забивайте!!! Игра супер !!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — A near perfect game *2026-01-16, version 1.50_epic* Wonderful in every way, comfy, enjoyable and entertaining! I love the potion mixing and ingredients gathering as well as the meeting and befriending townspeople! If only there were a sequel! ### 5/5 — My favorite game *2026-01-10, version 1.50_epic* Lol so fun kinda hard to understand that control and power of being a chemist guy? ### 5/5 — Game keeps crashing *2026-01-08, version 1.50* Good evening, I really like your game — the gameplay and mechanics, there is one serious problem. I play the game on an iPad (9th generation). The game crashes after about 4–5 minutes and closes completely, returning me to the home screen. My device is running iOS 26.2 I tried many things: deleting and reinstalling the game, removing some other apps, and restarting the device, but the problem is still the same. Could you please look into this issue and fix it? Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great mobile port *2026-01-07, version 1.50* Fun rpg with no micro transactions, its version is behind the pc version but still a good and fun game. I play it on iphone 16 pro and Ipad mini, 6th gen with no issues. Graphics are very good and controls and controller support are done very nicely. Please devs, update the game to the latest pc version please. ### 5/5 — My iPad keep shutting down you SCAMMER *2025-11-28, version 1.47* This game keep shutting down! My data dont even autosave! I want my money back! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
