### 1/5 — Unmöglich

*2026-03-08*

Unfassbarer Schwierigkeitsgrad, selbst auf easy. Die Hindernisse tauchen so schnell auf, dass eine Reaktion fast unmöglich ist. Zudem reagieren die Items verzögert, sodass es dann völlig unmöglich wird. Warum es die Zufälligkeit der Items gibt, wissen wahrscheinlich auch nur die Entwickler, zum Spielspaß trägt es definitiv nicht bei. Schade sonst wäre hier wohl ein durchaus kurzweiliges Spiel entstanden.

### 3/5 — Error/Bug

*2026-02-25, version 1.5.2*

Please fix the scene when the Moose teach character to swipe the harmony, there is nothing but black screen and i cant play on

### 1/5 — Random gameplay with slow and frequent failures

*2025-09-12, version 1.5.2*

You buy items to deal with stuff along your route. The problem you don’t choose what they are and soon you’ll run out or become unable to swap them for what you really need. 

If there was an endless item swap option it might actually be playable, but I spend half the game crashing and starting over. As it stands, it’s completely pointless.

Makes you wonder if the game doesn’t have enough content and is hiding behind a stupid “you’re just not good enough” mechanic. I play games to enjoy them, not spend all day restarting and broken gameplay loop.

### 4/5 — 演奏時の画面暗転について

*2025-08-20*

設定からクオリティのどれさを下げれば解消されるみたいです。詰みじゃないやったー！

### 5/5 — “This game is a hidden gem, but it has some technical issues”

*2025-07-08, version 1.5.2*

“From what I understand from the perspective of everyone who plays this game, it’s a work of art, that fact is proven by, but for some of the later levels of the game like the firefly forest game - to the other games between the game’s narrative to the end game, there’s been a lot of glitches / bugs that have been causing everyone’s progression of the game to a sudden halt hardly, hopefully if the developers who seen this comment can see if they can squash this Bugs / Glitches whenever they do, so that way the game can be enjoyed by everyone again who never played this one before or at all”.

### 2/5 — Aspect Ratio Problems

*2025-04-03, version 1.5.2*

It suffers from the same problem that lots of iPad ports have. The zoomed in view to avoid letterboxing cuts the sides of the gameplay off. I’d rather than a smaller, letterboxed view than miss part of the image itself.

### 5/5 — Классс

*2025-03-06*

Только что прошёл, просто супер спасибо за атмосферу игры

### 5/5 — Bongor

*2025-02-11*

Отличная оптимизация и хорошая игра, на 15 про макс идет идеально просто, рекомендую данную игру, и стоит своих денег!!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Apple TV with Xbox controller

*2025-02-07*

Ignores Xbox controller :(

### 3/5 — 致命的なバグ

*2024-04-09*

iPhone13
iOS1.7
ステージ3（春の森）にて蛍についていくと画面が紫色になり、台詞のみ表示され音楽イベントが進行不可になる。

ゲーム性と価格のバランスが素晴らしいだけに残念
