And I love the story so much I don’t get it when the older brother blushes and so does the guy with green hair (I forgot their names) when the girl said it was getting hot in there. I don’t know what the blushing either means they’re embarrassed or mad or they like each other or something. So I WANT MORE CHAPTERS PLEASE!! The game is soooooooooo short. There’s literally only 7 or 8 chapters. But overall the game is AMAZING. Sorry for the short review. ### 4/5 — Super hard *2022-01-24* It’s so hard ### 4/5 — Beautiful Visuals and Story.. Gameplay Needs Work *2021-10-07, version 1.5* The story and visuals are fantastic and one of a kind. Sadly, the gameplay and in particular battles are dull and uninspired. It would have been more satisfying to have traditional JRPG battles rather than this. Other than that, very good! ### 4/5 — This is it *2021-04-17* this is the only good game on Apple Arcade. Shame it feels unfinished. ### 4/5 — Really fun with a perfect length *2021-01-08, version 1.4* Tells a fantastic story with some really new gameplay, although not the deepest system of gameplay, it was new and a fun take on turn based games that wasn’t to long to the point where i was bored of the system, boss battle was awesome. ### 5/5 — Touching *2020-10-25* Thank you for making this game. I had lots of fun with the core gameplay, and the story is beautiful. Well done! ### 5/5 — Absolutely incredible *2020-10-07, version 1.4* I recently joined Apple Arcade and just happened to stumble across this game here. It was an absolute treat and almost made joining Apple Arcade worth it by itself. The game is super fun, with a rpg mechanic of sorts and an auto combat(kind of) the game isn’t super hard but the levels near the end are challenging enough to give a few game overs. The story was A+ in the way it was told. Effort and time and heart was poured into this game and I had so much fun. My only gripe that I could honestly give would be that it’s a little on the short side. A dedicated player could easily finish this in maybe 3-4 hours. But that’s about the only complaint I have. Otherwise I heavily enjoyed my time with this one. 10/10. ### 5/5 — Short and sweet *2020-09-30* Lovely animation, simple game play, and endearing storyline. ### 5/5 — Warm, homey *2020-08-22, version 1.3* What a sweet little game! It took me around 2 hours to beat it. The star of the show were definitely the stop motion animation and sound effects. Everything was so cute and charming, even though the story was pretty simple, the detail and execution was so top notch, the whole thing just shone! The actual gameplay was a little tedious at times but the idea behind it, the fact that you have to control the level of difficulty manually in order for Hiroshi to really enjoy the game... a warm thought turned into a unique game mechanism, it really worked for me, kudos! ### 5/5 — Sometimes The Story is the Game *2020-08-17, version 1.3* If you’re looking for an intense RPG with lots of action, you won’t find it here. What you will find is a Beautiful story about two brothers. One who’s only goal is to make his frail little bro smile. The gameplay is secondary to this awesome story, and must be experienced to fully appreciate it. Give it a try. It’s a great way to relax and experience something different. I bet you find something to love about it! ### 5/5 — Heartwarming story and unique gameplay *2020-08-14* I love this game I’ve been playing it since I got it from the Apple Arcade it’s so unique and I definitely recommend it. ### 4/5 — A story like life is strange. *2020-08-10, version 1.3* In this game, there are no choices to give you. It’s a one-way game. This game talks about a couple of brothers. (I want a handsome cute brother too 😭 ) The big brother makes the game which is what we play 👈 maybe we can call this game is a kind of mathematics. It needs you to calculate how to up the little brother's interest. Each monster has different parameters, so you have to do the math to make his interest up to 500. Have to say, the big brother is so prejudiced and self-conscious. His classmates try to help him but he refuses them rudely. All in all, this is a good story, but not a good game. ### 4/5 — Solid *2020-08-06* Really solid game with an intriguing theme. Just feels a bit on the short side but I enjoyed the story and gameplay a definite recommend. ### 3/5 — Cute narrative, sluggish gameplay *2020-07-01, version 1.3* I really like the look and feel of this game and the story is quite touching. The game mechanic itself is kind of a gambling simulator where you basically bet on how many monsters you can survive. It’s not really my cup of tea and makes progress a bit of a slog but still an admirable presentation that’s sure to delight a lot of people. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The actual game itself is ok but… *2022-01-26* The story of how and why the game exists is pointless, just give the game a story, I couldn’t care less about the brothers I skipped that nonsense ### 1/5 — Hate it *2021-05-23* Does not deserve to exist. 👎🏽 ### 1/5 — Boring and pointless *2020-08-16* Why is Apple Arcade filled with mediocrity every second app is a card game and they suck ### 1/5 — Good until chapter 6. Bugs killed it for me *2020-08-11, version 1.3* I couldn’t finish playing. I gave up after many tries. Good story. Bad gameplay. There’s a bug in the chapter 7 torch that kept resetting my score to 226 (even though I had earned more) if I restored to the torch reset point - which isn’t enough to finish successfully. Also, the one time I was able to make it to the dragon in one single run, the dragon was unbeatable with a level 9 hero. ### 1/5 — Looks amazing BUT *2020-05-05* running the latest tvOS version and this will not get past the menu, only able to move the selection left or right using the Siri remote and that’s it. ### 1/5 — The game of no agency *2020-03-03, version 1.3* The game is fun until chapter six then it collapses into a cesspool. There is no game here. There are admittedly nice cut scenes. But the game is nothing more than making some battle selections and letting the rng play out. The problem is you can make the exact same selections and either do well or poorly. The further problem is both doing poorly and well costs you, you have to aim for mediocre battle results which again you have little to no control over. I hope Apple pulls this one off the App Store. ### 1/5 — Didn’t even play it *2019-11-12* After what felt like 2 hours of clicking through the intro, the first 2 seconds of gameplay were so terrible that I deleted the game. Why am I paying £5 per month for this nonsense?? Sort it out Apple and give us games worth the subscription. Hundreds of games and you’ve given us 2/3 good ones at most!! ### 1/5 — Save got erased *2019-11-10, version 1.00* I have an iPhone 7 Plus, and about 1 hour of progress got erased, and now I'm back to chapter 1 again. This game is great but this very major technical issue ruined the experience. Please fix! ### 2/5 — Slow game. Not fun. *2021-01-07, version 1.4* They wanted to make a short animated story. They added a slow and boring game to it. Not fun. Needs quicker and more engaging gameplay. ### 2/5 — Too slow game *2020-07-14, version 1.3* A game in which there is no enthusiasm, suspense, or anything. A very bad game. It needs to be fully developed in terms of personalities and personal assistants because the character alone is not suitable for good. The game has been erased until it is developed for the best idea ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2024-01-30* The story made me quite emotional, motivating me to reach the objective. The gameplay is nice. The balance of the gameplay could be tweaked, particularly near the end, the green slime tend to dodge several time in a row, and the flying tend to paralyze over and over, with no window to hit, it can be frustrating. ### 5/5 — amazing *2023-12-24* really good amazing game best game ever and putting 1000m zombie escape in it was clever and made me buy 1000m zombie escape really clever also this is the best game you devs have made can you make a number 2 please also a review said that the story is good but gameplay is bad and I think they are wrong edit they are shutting down legendary warriors and I’m 😢 sad ### 5/5 — Good story, with good gameplay *2023-08-27* The story was short, but it was good for while it last. The gameplay was different and somewhat fun. One challenge I did while playing this game was lasting 1-5 health points while defeating the monsters. Overall, I recommend this to anyone who enjoy stories and have a short amount of time in their hands. Probably only took me 5hrs to beat. ### 5/5 — Stunning game *2023-04-19* It’s a short game with a wonderful story that doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. The gameplay itself is quite fun and is always kept fresh by the addition of new mechanics of enemies, the sound design is impeccable, the story is cute and wholesome and the stop motion animation is the cherry on top. Absolutely amazing game. 100% recommend all Apple Arcade users to try. ### 5/5 — It’s good! *2022-11-19* I can’t understand why so many people don’t like it. It’s a nice game. The only problem I have is it is hard. Like really hard. ### 5/5 — Endearing, casual, and worth every minute *2022-07-09, version 1.5* T&H is a heartwarming vignette of support, anxiety, growth, and companionship. It tells a short story in a delightful art style not regularly displayed in video games, and the core gameplay loop reflects the story’s motives well. After some trial and error you’ll find a groove with the system and you’ll be able to integrate new mechanics into your play without struggle. Not long after that the game will end and you’ll be happy to have given it the few hours of your attention it asks. This is the kind of game that justifies my Apple Arcade subscription. A short, easy, story-based claymation game designed for iPhones? I never would have considered purchasing T&H. But instead I could just download and try it out of curiosity. I’m happy I did, and I’m willing to bet you will too. ### 5/5 — A short master piece *2021-12-28, version 1.5* I finished it in day and enjoyed every second. It has great visuals and and I love the characters. I hope they make sequel. Also do Not use the centaurs. The centaurs are not balanced and it is impossible to defeat them unless you get lucky. ### 5/5 — Awwww *2021-12-21* Sweet story, simple yet challenging game play, they should push harder to ask for reviews, since i think it will be overwhelmingly positive. ### 5/5 — Unexpected Fun *2021-09-14, version 1.5* I came for the gameplay and stayed for the story. Beautiful cutscenes. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Cute *2021-03-21* Great animations, sweet story, simple yet fun gameplay. Highly recommend! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
