But a bit boring due the lack of speed walk… Also monochromatic artistic game design is falling to be… repetitive and not eye catchy as well… Would rather not to play this one… ### 4/5 — Crashing bug *2021-11-03, version 1.3* Currently on iOS 15.0.2. The app crashes consistently on the Docks level. Looks like a bug. Overall great game but removing a star until that’s resolved and I can continue the game. ### 5/5 — 神すぎる *2021-08-25* めっちゃいい曲だし落ち着くしマジでいい ### 5/5 — A Relaxing Adventure‼️🏝 *2021-05-07, version 1.3* This is a very soothing type of slow-paced game that’s very easy to learn, yet challenging enough to play time and again. There are 9 fascinating puzzle levels that will challenge you. After completing all 9 levels, you will have the opportunity to explore Flow (an extended game) with 9 unique challenges where the reward is a seed. You get to plant the seeds and watch them grow into trees with colorful leaves. 🌴 What is fascinating about Flow is how you have the freedom to plant trees 🌴wherever you want. Also, you can strategically jump from island 🏝 to island if it’s in sight. Starman is enhanced by Flow, so I recommend trying for yourself and ignore the haters writing bad reviews. I actually enjoy this slow-paced game because I can enjoy a snack while playing! As a BONUS, you will find animated stickers in the Messages app. It’s very relaxing and I appreciate that. If you want a fast-paced game, this isn’t it. Starman is a game for the rest of us‼️ I ❤️ this game and you will too! 🤗 Recommended: Yes 😁👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Trop top *2021-03-14, version 1.3* Je ne me lasse jamais de jouer à ce jeu ### 5/5 — 何度でも••• *2020-11-29* ほのぼのとしたゲームです。まったりと時間を過ごしたい時は良いです。 ### 5/5 — Excelente juego *2020-11-15, version 1.3* Es un juego muy practico,te motiva a pensar y desarrollar habilidades, para pasar cada obstáculo. De una forma muy didáctica, excelente juego ### 5/5 — REPLAY STILL AS AMAZING AS THE FIRST TIME! *2020-11-12, version 1.3* Am replaying all my favorite games and decided to go for Starman again. Thought I had written a review and was surprised to see I had not. This game deserves the time & attention to do that tho. The puzzles are so intriguing and they make you THINK of how to use the mechanics of the pieces and the mechanics that each new level introduces. As mushy as this sounds I’m also moved by the lonely little “Starman” as he makes his way in this strange new world & as he sits by his fire creating butterflies in the depths of the night. I actually luv the new levels and some required outside the box (no pun intended) thinking which my socially distanced housebound brain sorely needed! Many thanks to NADA for this game. PLEASE make a Starman 2. I’ll be quite happy to place my pre-order! ### 5/5 — What the F....? *2020-11-03, version 1.3* What the F....??? There is a new update without any new levels? I am waiting for years and also hoped for years that they will bring new levels but they disappointed me.. Since this game came out it is an was one of my favorite 3 Games on App Store... but I think I will delete it now and I regret that I paid money for this game.. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-10-20, version 1.2.5* I’m not into video games but this is a striking exception. Cinematic black and white feel and ambient music are dope AF. Respect!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-09-06, version 1.2.5* Cool game ### 3/5 — Just ok *2020-08-26* Game was ok and useful way to kill commuter time. But the puzzles weren’t really very hard and only 9 levels. I would probably have given it a 4 though because the concept and atmosphere were good. The reason I dropped the star was because of the bonus “Flow” game. It is a single level where you have to find crystals and plant them to grow trees. But I found it buggy One of the puzzles I knew what to do but it just wouldn’t give up the crystal. Then mysteriously I lost the boat. I was at top end where the pier is and no boat. I turned the water to ice and skated around but no boat. When I switched off and came back still gone so I was stuck. Good job I didn’t go down with the ship ### 4/5 — Bien *2020-08-01, version 1.2.5* Design minimaliste, accompagné de bons effets sonores et d'une musique d'ambiance prenante. Certains niveaux demande un peu de logique et de patience pour saisir la solution adéquate, ce qui n'est pas pour me déplaire ! ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2020-07-24, version 1.2.5* Wonderful game with great atmosphere. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor puzzle design *2024-08-30, version 1.3* Graphic is good, but puzzles are designed poorly, really not fun to solve them ### 1/5 — ? *2021-06-29, version 1.3* I don’t understand this game, if it’s a game even. ### 1/5 — CAUTION *2020-12-06, version 1.3* To be fair, this is a beautiful and fun game. However, it keeps crashing at level 4 and I’ve tried to contact the developer but it just brings me to a Twitter page. I’d love to be able to finish this game but without any way to contact the developer, I guess I’m out of luck. ### 1/5 — Drága, gyenge *2020-09-06, version 1.2.5* Sajnos megvettem, de nagyot csalódtam. Ezen az áron 100x jobb játékok vannak. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2020-04-21, version 1.2.5* this game is not worth a cent! boring! and bugs when controlling mechanics in the game !!! the worst game I bought in my life! I do not recommend !!! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2020-04-05, version 1.2.5* The game is not challenging in the least bit. A 6 year old could solve these “puzzles”. It’s tedious, boring, and frustrating because of how slow it is. ### 1/5 — Euh.... *2019-08-22, version 1.2.5* 🤢🤮 ### 1/5 — Ch 2 wont load. *2019-04-12* Just paid full price for this game and chapter 2 won’t load. Please fix this bug :( ### 1/5 — Remboursement *2019-01-24, version 1.2.5* Demande un remboursement car bloqué merci ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-01-16, version 1.2.5* You can’t get past the beach at least I can’t yea I’m average at puzzles but it’s not hard it’s impossible ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 認定勝負のゲーム *2026-01-09* レビューをかけると言う事は、ゲーム完了ということでしょうか？ ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2025-09-07, version 1.3* Hermoso juego te hace pensar mucho ### 5/5 — Bug in newest version? *2024-12-16, version 1.3* Starman is lovely and so atmospheric!! Some fun and clever puzzles ### 5/5 — Música y estética *2023-09-04, version 1.3* Juegazo súper relajado ### 5/5 — Excelente *2023-07-03, version 1.3* Bonito, elegante y tremendamente relajante. ### 5/5 — Magnifique *2023-06-16, version 1.3* Jeu apaisant avec des ambiances extraordinaires et poétiques à la fois. ### 5/5 — So cute. I love it *2022-07-14, version 1.3* I found this game in 2019 and it was so mesmerizing. I love the mood they create for the world. ### 5/5 — Loved it *2022-06-26, version 1.3* This is the type of game I enjoy. I don’t need lightning-fast thumbs and the soundtrack is actually pretty unobtrusive, even soothing. ### 5/5 — What a game! A work of art, to boot *2022-02-19, version 1.3* This is such a lovely, challenging, yet not too challenging, atmospheric, game with easy controls and lovely soothing soundtrack. I’ve played it through many times on the switch, and now am downloading the app to my phone so I can meander through anytime. Such a treat to find a good game that is a work of art, too. Really hope to see more from this developer, especially with the same attention to style and atmosphere this game so greatly achieves. 11/10 for a short art focused puzzle game masterpiece. ### 5/5 — Working *2021-12-27, version 1.3* Game working as expected, recommanded.
