Not challenging at all and sad ending. Played it in 15 minutes🤦🏽‍♀️🙄 definitely needed to be longer since I paid for it. Should be a free game. ### 3/5 — I can’t finish the end scene because there’s no post *2020-01-14, version 1.2.0* If the post is the light, it doesn’t work But over all a very good game ### 2/5 — ??? *2019-12-23* За что отдал деньги за 10 минут игры???? Верните деньги пожалуйста ### 2/5 — Rip off *2019-11-12, version 1.2.0* Nice graphics and story line but didn’t even last a hour. The swimming takes you to the same scenes over and over, the cockle collection is boring. BORING. ### 4/5 — Beautiful but oh so short *2019-03-06, version 1.0.3* I bought this as it was App Store game of the day. It was beautifully done and fitting soundtrack. There weren’t any puzzles really, more just interactive scenes. The story is very touching and the end moved me to tears. It lasted just 20 minutes so £3 a lot to pay. But for the price of a coffee and the time it would take to drink it, the artwork and moving story alone was worth it. ### 4/5 — Sad :( *2019-02-02, version 1.0.3* This story is kinda short, but the graphics are BRILLIANT, the ending was rlly sad and I didn’t enjoy it, but other then that, it was ok... ### 2/5 — Paid too much *2019-01-23, version 1.0.3* I was surprised this was such a short interactive game. I am disappointed, I expected more. I should have read the reviews. ### 2/5 — Not really a game *2019-01-22, version 1.0.3* I didn’t understand that this is an interactive story and not a game. Beautiful for what it is. Not a fun or challenging game. ### 2/5 — Not very good *2019-01-22, version 1.0.3* Very short and not very interesting. Very sad story that is best left to a book. ### 2/5 — The game was great *2019-01-21, version 1.0.3* The game was super fun it had a great story! But I did not know that the game would finish in less than 30 min and that’s all. If it was free then it would’ve been great but I spent 2.99 on this 30 min game! Not that happy! ### 1/5 — กากกกก *2018-12-30, version 1.0.3* เกมกากมากเสียดายเงิน ### 3/5 — Ganz ok *2018-12-30* Also die Grafik und die Steuerung sind super! Und die Story ebenfalls. Aber mir fehlt ein längeres gameplay. Ich habe das Spiel in 25 Minuten durchgespielt leider gibt es noch kein längeres Spielergebnis. Man kann die Story zwar wiederholen aber das wird langsam langweilig. Also insgesamt ein gutes Spiel, wäre die Story etwas länger und nicht nur wie ein Kinderbuch mit fünf Seiten. Wäre die Story länger wäre ich bestimmt bereit fünf Sterne abzugeben aber bis jetzt gehen nur 3. PS: gerne neue level! I would rate 5 Stars if there was more to Play and Not only that Short gameplay. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth playing *2024-06-11, version 1.2.0* The cost is not worth the experience that takes less than an hour to finish this is a complete waste of money. ### 1/5 — Зря потраченные деньги! *2023-09-18* Верните деньги! Ужасная игра!!! Какой-то потенциал может визуально есть, но своих денег она не стоит!!!! Ужас!! 0 из 100 ### 1/5 — Very bad game. It is not worth it! *2020-07-24, version 1.2.0* I just bought it today for my kids and they played it for what 5-7 min and done. It is very bad game and not worth it. Please, I would like to get my money back! ### 1/5 — Könnte gut sein, ist es aber nicht! *2020-04-05* Das Spiel könnte gut sein, ist es aber nicht! Gameplay ist schwach, Story mager und die Grafik höchstens nett... ### 1/5 — Naze *2019-10-15, version 1.2.0* Payer pour littéralement 7 minutes de jeux comment dire 🤔 ### 1/5 — Unbelievably Short *2019-03-10, version 1.0.3* Good graphics but the mini games are boring and it’s an unwelcome shock that it finishes so early, especially for the price ### 1/5 — Hmmm *2019-03-06, version 1.0.3* Beautiful yes, but are you for real?!?! This game has pointless little tasks in it, you can’t call them mini games. The game is over in a heartbeat as well. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Storm boy *2019-03-06, version 1.0.3* Was a lovely game - definitely too short for the price tag! ### 1/5 — ผิดหวัง *2019-03-03, version 1.0.3* เป็นเกมส์สำหรับเด็ก ตอนแรกคิดว่าเป็นเกมส์ผจญภัย แต่พอเล่นไปสักพักแล้วเกมส์ไม่มีอะไรเลย รู้สึกเสียดายเงินมากจริงๆค่ะ ### 1/5 — Spoiler: Sweet, dead bird! *2019-01-23, version 1.0.3* Are you serious!? The bird is shot!? SHOT! Dead. First of all the game/story didn’t take very long. It was sweet and I enjoyed every second of it until: the bird is murdered! This is NOT for children. Or this adult. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Like *2026-01-03, version 1.2.0* Played this game years ago and now coming back to it with fond memories. Was looking for something visually engaging without the frustration of puzzle games or the violence of shooters. While this is more like a story book, I like it - actually came back to this title to see if the developers had released anything another similar title. Would be glad to find another. It’s peaceful and sometimes that’s very welcome, like being on the Australian sea shore. ### 5/5 — История дружбы *2025-11-08* Великолепная история дружбы от Колина Милтона . Учит доброте и ответственности за принятые решения. Это не игра, а больше книга с элементами управлением персонажем. История короткая , но стоит внимая . ### 5/5 — A beautiful moment *2020-05-09, version 1.2.0* Short but incredibly well thought out, a lovely story to get temporarily lost in ### 5/5 — Thanks, Australia *2020-02-20, version 1.2.0* I wanted to play an Australian game while waiting for a plane in Melbourne, and this was the perfect choice. Thanks, Australia, I enjoyed my trip! ### 5/5 — Really good and worth it *2019-03-10, version 1.0.3* I bought it thinking it would be boring,but I was proven wrong,I started playing it and the graphics were really good,but it’s abit short ### 5/5 — Poetic *2019-01-23, version 1.0.3* I’m not usually a huge fan of such games, but the beautiful art work grabbed me. This game is a treasure, it’s like an interactive painting full of wonder. I felt like a kid again when I played this. Well worth the price ### 5/5 — 😢 *2019-01-21, version 1.0.3* It’s just so sad. I cried at the end and could not stop. This is a heartwarming story. Don’t listen to the haters. This is a work of art. But it is short. I recommend stretching the plot. But other than that it’s beautiful. Beyond words.😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — Fantastic visuals and story *2019-01-21, version 1.0.3* Clearly the people reviewing this game expect everything they put on their phone to take 1000 hours of grinding to “level up” and have an ad appear for 15 seconds after every other move. THIS GAME IS NOT THAT. It is a terrific adaptation of a classic story. And even though you can easily finish it even if you’re *not* a hard core gamer, that’s totally fine! To all the two-star reviewers: there’s more (much more) to the gaming genre than grinding for hours on treadmill levels and watching ads like they’re cut scenes. Kudos to folks involved in making Storm Boy! ### 5/5 — Its amazing!!! *2018-12-24, version 1.0.3* This is by far the best game I’ve played in a while, the ending was sad but the rest was very enjoyable and well detailed ### 5/5 — Like stop action movements NO LONGER! *2018-12-09, version 1.0.3* As of 12/8/2018 Developers have fixed my problem on my iPad Air. I can happily say this is the loveliest and serene story in the App Store. I had not heard of this story/book from Australia. The story was short but I feel full of plenty enough interactive portions to keep me interested all the way through. I am not sure what ages this story is aimed for but the end is a bit rough for small kids. Beautifully done. Changing my initial 1 Star ⭐️ to a 5 star ⭐️ rating. Congrats to the heart behind this game. ********Game looks awesome but it starts strangely, white screen then the title page does load but there is no fluidity in the plants, water etc. The sounds of the few footsteps I could haphazardly cause the boy to take (meaning no instructions on how to get the boy across the screen) do not match the steps. Sound is off. I could not advance the game smoothly because it acted like it was frozen on and off, back and forth. I restarted my iPad, cleared the back pages, deleted the game, reinstalled the game. No change. I’m bummed. Help UPDATE- development team has assured me they are working hard on the problem and should have an update for us soon. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
