Most games have a help button—this one gives you no guidance. I would rather not have to start the planet over again. ### 4/5 — HELP!!!!! *2023-01-05, version 1.4* I can’t start the game. Even when I press continue. Please send help ### 1/5 — Stuck *2022-09-28* In eautopica but can’t get past the water. I can’t swim down or go over the wall or anything. There’s no where to go ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-09-04, version 1.4* Upon opening the game you get stuck on the Home Screen. Unplayable ### 3/5 — Mixed feelings *2022-09-04, version 1.4* Beautiful art, fun gameplay, but midway it becomes super hard (even on easy mode) and grindy. I bailed before ending. A shame ### 1/5 — Scam? *2022-09-01, version 1.4* Does not work, just reloads the menu when you hit new game. Judging by the reviews it’s been like this for a year ### 1/5 — Bugs *2022-04-08* Couldn't even play it ### 1/5 — Bug *2022-02-17* Hi, i am trapped at level Leviatha. I have to assed it before and then decided to return to that planet again. And there is no way out. Help! ### 1/5 — Loved it until I visited a previous level *2022-02-09, version 1.4* Seriously, why though? This game had me so entertained and then my hopes and dreams of this game being amazing just got pooped on. Come on why wouldn’t you fix that or explain at least? Boooooo, deleting now. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even play *2022-01-17, version 1.4* Couldn’t even make it out of the main menu. Some of the opening dialogue popped up but clicking new game or continue just refreshed the screen and did nothing. ### 2/5 — Unable to start game *2021-12-20, version 1.4* Game won’t even let me start playing. I click new game and yes and it exits the game. The controls are so janky. It looks fun just wish I could play ### 1/5 — THIS GAME's New Update Is Worse!!! *2021-10-31, version 1.4* Every Time I Tried To Press Continue Or New Game, They Wouldn't Let Me Play! Please Fix It!!!!! ### 1/5 — Not even accesible *2021-10-10, version 1.4* I don't know what's going on with this game, other than it has a serious glitch. I couldn't even play the game because the intro took me right back to the title screen no matter what I chose. Insane. How is this even on Arcade with a glitch like that? Please remove this useless waste. ### 2/5 — Very clunky controls *2021-08-11, version 1.3* Just not fun to play for long. ### 2/5 — Really liked the game *2021-04-16, version 1.3* But... I’m on the second world and have played through it about 10 times. Each time, I get to the part that should be the tower defense portion and it won’t let me build and no enemies come. There seems to be no way to get past this issue. ### 1/5 — Looks great but game is (still!!) broken *2021-03-25, version 1.3* So many updates but I still Cannot exit crafting table. In fact, cannot use any of the buttons for crafting table. I use an iPhone 11 Pro, Apple TV and iPad Pro. Too bad it seems like a great game but is unplayable :( Update March 24, 2021 still unplayable. **Developer response:** Sorry about that - this is been a tricky bug to figure out. We're looking into it though. Best, Josh ### 3/5 — Needs work! *2021-03-05, version 1.3* Good overall game but needs WORK! There are BUGS. Developers please fix. New worlds will not unlock. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Couldn’t start game *2024-09-15* Same as other reviewer, tried to start a new game and it loops back to a refreshed start or continue game menu. iPhone 15 Pro Max, if it makes a difference. Shame as the game looks great. ### 1/5 — Can’t even select a new game *2024-06-30* Tried to play by selecting new game and the game just wont let me select new game. Deleted. ### 1/5 — can’t even load a game *2024-06-01* I got the game and when I went to start a new game it just won’t let. I keep hitting “yes” to new game and it just brings me back to the Home Screen. I’ve tried to load a game and everything and still won’t let me play. Pretty dissapointing ### 1/5 — Honest review *2024-05-03* This game looks promising, with some stellar art and a decent premise. It however fails on a lot of other aspects; level design and platforming mechanics are mediocre, with the multitude of bugs and the utterly boring pace dragging it down to possibly one of the most underwhelming games I’ve played. More work can be done on it but it’s gonna be delisted inevitably. ### 1/5 — Won’t play the game *2024-04-27* Game loads but won’t let me start a new game ### 1/5 — Game literally won’t launch *2024-01-23* Apparently this is a known issue yet hasn’t been addressed, but you literally can’t even start a game. When you try it just boots you back to the main menu. 0/10, literally unplayable. ### 1/5 — Honest review *2023-12-23* This game looks promising, with some stellar art and a decent premise.

More work can be done on it but it’s gonna be delisted inevitably. ### 1/5 — Let me know when I can actually play *2023-08-05* Literally can’t click through the New Game Menu. Yes = refresh of the screen over and over. ### 1/5 — Can’t start *2023-03-21* I can’t start the game ### 1/5 — Game is not starting *2022-10-13, version 1.4* Game is not starting…. In each new game attempt it came back to new game screen. How could they publish such a game? How Apple let them do it in Arcade, which is a paid service! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Quality game but just too short! *2022-09-09* I was so sad when it ended ### 5/5 — Well i can play the game now at least *2022-07-13* and it is solid. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2022-04-23* I love this game and it is very nice with amazing graphics but it is a little bit confusing. I am just walking around not knowing what to do. One of the best parts of this game is the boss fights. They are very fun and exciting but sometimes quite hard. Like when you had to protect the wheely thing it took me ages to finish. Other than that, it is fantastic! ### 5/5 — A little bit short, but I love it. *2021-02-12* I find the controls reasonably easy to learn, it is difficult but not impossible, there is a good selection of weapons, and I find that it is just generally awesome and worth spending the time writing a report for. This game goes into such details, which for me probably takes my rating from a 4 to a 5. My only complaint is that the game is a bit short, but other than that it is truly brilliant. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2020-07-22* This game is the best! The only problem I’m having is I’m stuck on 1 of the bosses but really this game is the best ### 5/5 — Love the game just some suggestions *2020-06-25, version 1.3* Could you maybe add like a horde mode where you build stuff because after you complete all the planets you don’t use ur buildings much also are there more levels coming out ### 5/5 — Help? *2020-06-20, version 1.3* I made it to the second planet and I beat the boss. Then I got a blueprint to craft a new weapon. If you don’t know where I am, it is where you get the third weapon. Now I have no idea what to do next. Please guide me in the right direction. ### 5/5 — Best Game on Apple Arcade. *2020-04-17, version 1.3* I really like this game. Probably my favorite on Apple Arcade. ### 5/5 — Great game but buggy *2019-11-07, version 1.0* Awesome game. Lots of annoying bugs though like the unresponsive craft book at times. And the encyclopedia that only shows enemies from one planet. After spending 750 on the squid gun, I can’t even equip it 😫?!? Will check back after the next version. Thanks for the good work! ### 5/5 — Fun game with some bad bugs *2019-11-03, version 1.0* This is a really fun game, I love the integration of plat forming, exploration, and tower defense. Unfortunately it’s very buggy. I’ve gotten stuck on crafting tables, and now I’m unable to leave the second planet even though I’ve beat the boss. Unless there’s something I’m missing, in which case a map or list of objectives would be very handy. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
