### 2/5 — Crashes a lot

*2026-08-30, version 1.0.5*

Had the free version on my phone (google phone) and it runs great so thought I’d get it for iPad to play on a bigger screen, but the game is so poorly optimised for iPad that it crashes constantly once you get above 1000 points. The graphics are significantly worse than on my phone too, and even running it on lowest graphics and fps still it crashes and resets quite far back, loosing significant progress with every crash.

### 3/5 — Wonderful game; too many crashes

*2026-08-16, version 1.0.5*

I really love the game, but there are a lot of crashes, and for some reason, the expansions I purchased are now locked (could I please get that fixed or my money back?) If some of those bugs could be worked out, it would be amazing.

### 4/5 — Beautiful but buggy

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.5*

Fun and challenging, but crashes and then doesn’t reopen easily. That’s holding me back from purchasing the additional biomes

### 4/5 — Great, but..

*2026-08-01, version 1.0.5*

I really enjoy this game. However, it is extremely buggy and frequently kicks me out of the app. I also lose some progress when this occurs. Great game though!

### 3/5 — Cool game

*2026-07-27, version 1.0.5*

Cool game. Enjoy the ability to build different biomes and what not. However, I purchased additional biomes and did not receive any access to the new biomes.

### 4/5 — A nice game

*2026-06-28, version 1.0.5*

Although this game isn’t perfect and could use some more detail and interaction I quite enjoy the aspect of taking a picture of a lovely ecosystem and working with nature sincerely, a 11-year-old

### 4/5 — Review

*2026-06-26, version 1.0.5*

I really like this game it’s beautiful and entertaining and kinda hard. However two things I’d like in the game would be to be able to run rivers into lakes and also extend rivers after you’ve put them down.

### 4/5 — Hints for the puzzle mode

*2026-06-16, version 1.0.5*

This game is great, but the puzzles are very challenging. I wish there were hints you could use to work towards the solution

### 5/5 — Fun and excited

*2026-05-22, version 1.0.5*

This is a thing to like sit down on your couch and like look at the animals and learn about them And learn about their habitats sometimes sometimes it’s like it’s fun but sometimes they use animals and I just don’t feel like hawks and all that should be together but I guess that’s OK in this game is fun and exciting. I read this five stars.

### 5/5 — .

*2026-05-20*

It’s so peacful as well as fun game 
We can be creative and explore things 
It’s really nice 
Thankyou for this

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-17, version 1.0.5*

Surprised how much free content there is for the quality usually a game of this quality is only a preview and dangles the paid content in front of your face but the free content has occupied me for a while making me want to pay for the rest just because how good it is designed

### 4/5 — PERFECT GAME (for me)

*2026-05-17, version 1.0.5*

I love the visual details and sounds and music! It’s so special and fun and consists of trying new combinations and thought to really bring everything together. I simply keep getting stuck on a map but I’ll get it!

### 5/5 — Круто

*2026-05-15*

Глоток свежего воздуха

### 4/5 — Love it, but crashes 😫

*2026-05-07, version 1.0.5*

This is an amazing game (even just playing the free first biome), it’s very challenging and the graphics are great. but it crashes constantly mid-game, and also every time I try to launch creative mode (have not yet been able to get that to run). Is my iPad too old, or is it just a glitch that will eventually be fixed? I don’t want to buy more biomes if I’m stuck with it crashing every time I play.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-05-05, version 1.0.5*

I’m not a person to review games , it’s not my thing, however this game is the exception, it’s almost perfect, i absolutely love it and adore it , the soundtrack is now on repeat as well , i genuinely thank everyone who worked on this game because it shows a certain level of love that modern mobile games lack !! I can’t wait for more content hopefully.

### 5/5 — Adorable!

*2026-04-28, version 1.0.5*

Very calming

### 5/5 — i'm hungry!!!

*2026-04-26, version 1.0.5*

i want a burger

### 4/5 — Good but could be Great

*2026-04-25, version 1.0.5*

This game is beautiful and challenging. Well worth the purchase! I didn’t give it 5 stars because there are some glitches, the game will just crash mid game sometimes after a level up move. The UX could use some improvement also. When playing it would be nice to see what animals are in the already full habitats so it is easier to move them around. It would also be nice to be able to get out of the removing selection without actually having to make a selection and then undo it.

### 4/5 — Agréable

*2026-04-24*

Ce jeu n’est pas apaisant ! Je suis trop pris dedans. Très bien fait, facile à comprendre et pourtant je ne peux m’empêcher d’y revenir pour compter les tuiles, regarder d’en haut la forme de mon univers créé, et voir que j participe à enchanter un monde tout en gagnant des points.
Petit bémol. J’ai télécharger ce jeu car il n’y avait pas la mention « achats intégrés » et pourtant il y en a, pas cool!!

### 1/5 — BR???!

*2026-05-20*

Não gostei não tem português br

### 1/5 — Tradução

*2026-04-09*

Apesar de dizer na descrição que tem o idioma PT, não existe essa opção.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t save progress

*2026-03-25, version 1.0.5*

I started playing this game yesterday and when I came back today, it started me at the very beginning. All my progress is lost and it’s not clear how to reach the developer for help.

### 1/5 — Bug et on ne peut pas essayer les autres modes.

*2026-03-11, version 1.0.5*

Toujours entrain de fermer en plein milieu du jeu et quand on revient on recommence pas où qu’on était rendu avant que ça nous ferme dans la face.

On ne peut pas essayer les autres modes et c’est dommage. On est obligé d’acheter sans savoir si on va aimer l’autre mode de jeu. Je regrette tellement ma décision et je n’achèterais pas aucun des deux autres modes de jeu au cas où que je les aiment pas comme celui que j’ai acheter pour rien.🤷🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing?

*2026-02-16, version 1.0.5*

Every time I press play on the app it asks me if I would like to do a tutorial. I’ve never played before, so I press yes. After it gets to about 97% on the loading screen, it crashes and kicks me out. I hope this gets sorted soon because I really want to play this.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2026-02-10, version 1.0.5*

I love the game concept but very time I try to play the actual GAME it crashes :( I was excited to play it too. Btw I'm on an iPad! Hopefully that could be fixed?

### 1/5 — Clickbait

*2026-01-20, version 1.0.5*

You have to buy most of the biomes.No possible way to have fun.

### 1/5 — Buggy to the point of not usable

*2026-01-16, version 1.0.5*

Can’t even begin the game; won’t go past the title screen. Click play and it starts loading then stops. On iPad.

### 1/5 — Can’t open

*2026-01-06, version 1.0.5*

When I press the app it doesn’t do anything

### 1/5 — Unplayable on iPhone

*2026-01-04, version 1.0.5*

This game was in recommendations when I was using my iPhone and looked interesting, similar to some other biome restoration games that I enjoyed. Unfortunately, the writing is so small that it is unplayable. It’s difficult to read most of the writing (e.g., in the tutorial) and absolutely impossible to read the writing/symbols on the cards. There is no way to change that in settings which I found very surprising. I can’t speak to gameplay, but I did go through the tutorial and that all seems okay, which makes it even more frustrating.

### 5/5 — Calm and Peaceful

*2026-08-28, version 1.0.5*

I can really relax playing this and challenge myself too. The music is nice too.

### 5/5 — Nice work on the game

*2026-08-23, version 1.0.5*

I love it so much

### 5/5 — Juliyonna

*2026-08-11, version 1.0.5*

I was just looking for a game like this Billy when I tried it it was amazing 😁!

### 5/5 — .

*2026-08-05*

Прикольная игра, после установки залипла на 6,5 часов, уровень с 15ью участками довольно трудно пройти

### 5/5 — Relaxing fun

*2026-07-27, version 1.0.5*

Great chill game

### 5/5 — Updates

*2026-07-22, version 1.0.5*

Is there only a 60 tile limit in the creative mode or am i missing something ?

### 5/5 — Favorite Game

*2026-06-25, version 1.0.5*

I don’t write reviews often, but this one feels worth it. The gameplay has absolutely hooked me, and with different “maps,” the strategy changes just enough to keep things really engaging. Minor UI hiccups here and there, but nothing severe enough that it impedes the gameplay for me. Enough different expansions that I’m having a blast replaying levels I beat weeks ago and trying to beat my own high score. The perfect balance of strategy and relaxing for me.

### 5/5 — Really enjoyable

*2026-06-21, version 1.0.5*

Beautiful, meditative, zen zone kind of game. Puzzles are fun and challenging. Strategic planning ahead is required.

### 5/5 — This game is amazing

*2026-06-03, version 1.0.5*

Why is this the best game ever? There’s no ads and it’s actually a good game. I love

 it. I love the different biomes. I love the animals and I love the game overall 1000,000 out of five I love it. Definitely try it.

### 5/5 — 心休まる！

*2026-05-25*

広告が無くて本当にストレスフリーです！
音も良いです🫶
課金しないと新たなバイオームが追加されませんが、一つのバイオームだけでも長く楽しめるのでちょっとした息抜きにはちょうど良いです✨
