### 5/5 — Very nice game

*2014-02-13, version 1.1*

Clean, addictive, very nice game.

### 5/5 — Completely addictive!

*2014-02-11, version 1.1*

Seems simple, but is highly addictive .... Just one more round!  Just one more!  One more!

### 5/5 — Great Game with a New Idea.

*2014-02-10, version 1.1*

This game surprised me when I launched it, because the screenshots do not show how fun the game actually is. 

I'd recommend downloading this game and trying it out, once you get past the first few levels you will notice the difficultly change.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2014-02-09, version 1.1*

From the ridiculously catchy start jingle to the just right art style, this is one of those games you will find yourself driven to replay until you've captured every star.

### 5/5 — Very fun!!!

*2014-02-08, version 1.1*

very nice game，bit harder on phone size screen i feel tho!

### 5/5 — Don't overlook this gem

*2014-02-08, version 1.1*

I almost skipped over this one due to it's "kiddie" look. But it is incredibly charming, easy to learn, and hard to put down. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Why Is This So Fun?

*2014-02-08, version 1.1*

Because it gets more interesting and challenging as you progress and it's a full game and without ads. Collecting stars has never been so much fun.

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2014-02-07, version 1.1*

Идея оправдала ожидания. 
Перевод на Русский ? ;)

This game is so much fun.

### 5/5 — Very fun!!! Very challenging!!!

*2013-07-10, version 1.1*

A love song to NES!!! Play this game!

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2013-07-10, version 1.1*

I bought it, played the whole thing and am willing to offer 'favors' for more levels!  Cereally, it was that good!  I love these skill based tapping games.  Hopefully there will be many more additions, sequels, packs, etc.  Whatever you wanna call 'em, I just hope there's more of em!  In the meantime, don't think, just buy!  You won't regret it!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2013-07-07, version 1.0*

Charming and gently challenging. Not a fan of mario games as they lose their fun when you can't complete levels I have enjoyed playing this enormously.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too simple

*2013-06-29, version 1.0*

Not enough levels.

### 2/5 — Needs better rating system

*2014-09-28, version 1.1*

You can literally only miss 10 out of like 70+ stars and not get rated even one out of three stars at the end. That's a little ridiculous

### 2/5 — Yet another dexterity game

*2013-11-27, version 1.1*

Title.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2013-06-19, version 1.0*

This is really a great casual game the can turn into a real time killer. I like it.

### 4/5 — Nice!!!

*2013-06-18, version 1.0*

Sweet gameplay design.  Beautiful cohesive experience.  Work of art.  True essence of indie game dev passion.  Check it out.  In times of saturated video game experiences, we need better and thoughtful game designing like this to shine like a star and lead the way!

### 5/5 — additive and fun

*2017-02-14, version 2.0*

this is game is smooth and relaxing

### 5/5 — Fun simple game

*2017-02-12, version 2.0*

This game is really cool
There are lots of levels and the game components are simple and controls are even simpler.

### 5/5 — Highly addictive and fun

*2016-12-29, version 2.0*

I didn't expect this game to be so much fun. I loved the graphics, and it was free from apps gone free. After trying a level or two I can't seem to put it down. So fun.

### 5/5 — Really good!

*2014-06-26, version 1.1*

This game's definitely worth your download!

### 5/5 — OMG

*2014-05-24, version 1.1*

One of the best games, I can't believe how good it is. Needs to get more popular and some updates :)

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very cute, cozy game

*2014-03-24, version 1.1*

This game is a cute action scroller. It's not extremely difficult, and a bit short, but very fun.

### 5/5 — Addictive game

*2014-03-03, version 1.1*

Good and addictive!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2014-02-28, version 1.1*

Great fun easy to pick up and just challenging enough without being frustating.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2014-02-14, version 1.1*

The objective is simple but engaging and it doesn't get monotonous. It's a great game to have on the iPhone; it will never leave mine.

### 5/5 — Outstanding game so far! Definitely get this game:)

*2014-02-14, version 1.1*

Ok seriously, this game is pretty cool so far. The gameplay is basically "touch all the stars as the level progresses" but that is NOT as easy as it sounds as you get further into the game. I just made it level 1-6 and I was almost panicking trying to get all of them. It's fun and I'm sorry the developer wasn't getting a lot of recognition for it:( This is the first game using this kind of game mechanic I've played before.

Graphics: Very cute and sharp
Sound: Good?
Controls: Very tight and responsive

It might change later on, but for now there are NO ads or IAP! Yay! 

IAP is App Store cancer and I avoid it no matter how much I like the game. I think it is being abused and I don't see a way to fix it except punishing any developer that tries to use it. I know that's extreme but I don't have a better solution.
