### 2/5 — Ehh

*2026-05-16, version 2.0.22*

Fun idea. Ridiculous you have to pay real currency, watch an ad, or wait real time for your turns to replenish. Five minutes of game time then I have to pay for another five minutes, cycle continues. No thank you.

### 3/5 — Buying more turns is dumb

*2026-01-12, version 2.0.22*

Best way to ruin a game is destroy the flow with mandatory ads. 
Game itself is great, the bit I got to play. Immediately deleted it when forced to buy turns or watch ads to keep going.

### 2/5 — Offline keine Regeneration

*2026-01-01*

Man ist leider auf eine Internetverbindung angewiesen. Sonst darf man nach 12 h 3 Züge tun und dann ist wieder Ende.

Käufe auf Dauer sehr teuer.

**Developer response:** Danke für den Hinweis. Wir konnten dieses Problem bei uns bislang nicht reproduzieren, da die Regeneration auch offline wie vorgesehen funktionieren sollte. Könntest du uns bitte mehr Details zu deinem Setup schicken, damit wir das prüfen können? Screenshots oder eine kurze Beschreibung wären sehr hilfreich. Du erreichst uns unter support@shortcircuitstudio.com oder über unseren Discord.

### 4/5 — Sehr unterhaltsam…

*2025-12-28*

…aber es nervt ziemlich, dass sich die „hints“ (= wackelnde Objekte) nicht deaktivieren lassen. Das mg fürs erste Level ok sein, aber danach..🥴

**Developer response:** Danke fürs Bescheid sagen und fürs Melden! Es freut uns, dass dir das Spiel Spaß macht. Dein Hinweis zu den Tipps ist sehr hilfreich — wir verstehen, dass sie später eher störend sein können, und werden das im Hinterkopf behalten.

### 3/5 — Merge slop

*2025-11-25*

Just another merge game with ads and a small twist to keep you slightly interested. Not bad if you can deal with ads

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear it wasn’t for you. We understand how that experience can be frustrating, especially early on, and it’s fair if it didn’t meet your expectations. Thanks for giving the game a try, and we hope you find something that’s a better fit for you going forward.

### 2/5 — pay for 300 more turns

*2025-11-23, version 2.0.21*

good game, simple and easy to understand…. but after some amount of turns they want you to pay £6 for 300 extra turns. instantly deleted and won’t play again.

### 3/5 — A bit frustrating

*2025-11-07, version 2.0.21*

The screen and assets are very small so it’s easy to misclick. Confusing UI, no way to see all the levels of the diorama, no way to know how far along you are.

### 2/5 — Ich verstehe es nicht

*2025-09-20*

Tut mir leid, aber ich bin zu doof für das Spiel. Irgendwie wird mir das Feld mit dem ich interagieren darf vorgegeben, sein Inhalt aber auch, sodass ich eigentlich nichts beeinflussen kann. Keine Ahnung, wo ich da falsch abbiege, aber irgendwie taugt das Intro so für mich noch nichts.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank, dass Sie das Spiel ausprobiert haben! Keine Sorge — am Anfang kann es etwas dauern, bis es klickt. Teeny Tiny Town ist ein Merge-3-Puzzlespiel, bei dem Sie Kacheln kombinieren, um Ihre Siedlung auszubauen. Wir helfen Ihnen gerne beim Einstieg — melden Sie sich einfach auf unserem Discord oder unter support@shortcircuitstudio.com

### 4/5 — Free turns

*2025-09-13*

Really good game butI allways need to warch ad to get turns and it bug idk why…

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know! 💛 We haven’t been able to replicate this issue on our side, but we’d love to get it sorted for you. Could you reach out to us at support@shortcircuitstudio.com so we can try and investigate further?

### 4/5 — Good!

*2025-08-18*

This is so good I love everythig about it but when I run out of moves and they refill over time it’s never 300 only 150

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! 💛 That doesn’t sound like expected behavior — you should be getting the full 300 turns when they refresh. Could you reach out to us at support@shortcircuitstudio.com or join our Discord and share a screenshot or short clip? We’ll investigate and get it fixed!

### 3/5 — Great game but there’s some bugs

*2025-08-10*

Super fun, but the system needs to be fixed. Sometimes I only get 150 turns instead of 300. I also don’t regenerate turns until they are empty. I had 5 turns left, closed the app and came back 2 hours later to finish my game, and I still had only 5 turns. I used the 5 then I had to wait an additional hour for more turns. :/
I will say they did fix some bugs I complained about pretty quickly so I think the game is worth it

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your detailed feedback! 😊 That definitely doesn’t sound like expected behavior. Could you please reach out to us at support@shortcircuitstudio.com or join our Discord? If you can send us screenshots or a short clip, we’ll investigate and work on getting it resolved as quickly as possible!

### 1/5 — Don’t bother, you run out of turns!

*2026-07-26, version 2.0.22*

I wanted a nice relaxing game but you run out of turns after about five minutes and have to watch ads or wait an hour, what a shame.

### 1/5 — Super confusing on what needs to be done

*2026-06-05*

Super confusing on what needs to be done

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. 😊 The game is a merge-3 puzzle game, where the goal is to combine three or more matching items to create larger ones and continue progressing. We're sorry if that wasn't clear at first, and we'll keep your feedback in mind as we look for ways to better introduce new players to the game.

### 1/5 — Not intuitive/ too tiny

*2026-05-23, version 2.0.22*

Game play doesn’t make intuitive sense. Hit area for things is too small for thumbs.

### 1/5 — Фигня

*2026-04-21*

Простой кликер, безыдейный. Просто затавляют двигать или кликать выбранный игрой предмет. Что зачастую приводит к проигрышу.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв — нам жаль, что игра вам не понравилась.

Игра основана на стратегии и принятии решений, но мы понимаем, что она подходит не всем. Спасибо, что попробовали её.

### 1/5 — Aaah

*2026-04-04, version 2.0.22*

I don’t like this game I don’t know what anyone else thinks about it but I think it is awful

### 1/5 — Двоякие ощущения

*2026-02-16, version 2.0.22*

Играл класс, даже задонатил, прошел большую часть игры, купил новый айфон и туда данные не перенеслись, хотя всё сохранил, сохранился только купленный донат, а вот уровни не сохранились и заново проходить как то уже не решился

### 1/5 — Frustrating Game

*2025-12-22*

Game physics makes zero sense and it’s extremely unintuitive.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, and sorry it felt frustrating. Teeny Tiny Town is a merge-3 game, not a physics-based one — you grow your town by matching three of the same building to merge them into a higher-level structure. Progress comes from planning merges and managing space, rather than simulating real-world physics. Apologies this wasn't immediately obvious at first, and we’re always looking to improve how the mechanics are introduced. Thanks for giving it a try and sharing how it felt.

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t recommend

*2025-10-31, version 2.0.21*

Definitely a brain teaser

### 1/5 — Just another money grab

*2025-10-07, version 2.0.21*

Every “watch ad” option crashes the game and doesn’t work. I’m sure totally not on purpose.

### 1/5 — Worst game

*2025-08-21*

The worst game ever played no instructions are clear and it’s frestrating to play

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience! We’ve put a lot of effort into making the tutorials and instructions as clear as possible, but it sounds like we may have missed something. If you’d like, please reach out to support@shortcircuitstudio.com or join our Discord so we can help and improve things for future updates.

### 5/5 — Gr8

*2026-06-15, version 2.0.22*

Annoying to be asked to rate the game after every level

### 5/5 — A worthy (if less rigorous) spiritual successor to Triple Town

*2026-06-02, version 2.0.22*

I’ve tried all the match-three puzzle games and none of them have given me the same feeling as Triple Town, a game that feels mostly abandoned and undeveloped for the past decade. This has been the exception. I almost immediately bought the no ads upgrade. It features all the same great base gameplay as triple town but offers some key QOL improvements that I’d always dreamed of. My only qualms are that the core gameplay loop sometimes feels sluggish in comparison, and that I would love a top down style camera mode.

### 5/5 — ASMR to the fullest

*2026-05-19*

I love how the game has great graphics and small structures. Looks super cute. Definitely recommend playing for passing time and brain teasers. 

BYW I bought this game on Desktop/PC which does not have the functionality as in Mobile version. Like placing a rock simply removes in mobile whereas it replaces something in the PC version. Also would love to see weekly and daily challenges in the PC version as well.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! 😊 We're thrilled you're enjoying the visuals, cozy atmosphere, and puzzle aspects of the game. "ASMR to the fullest" is a description we absolutely love 😄

Thanks as well for the detailed feedback regarding the PC and mobile differences, and for the suggestions about daily and weekly challenges on PC. If you have any other ideas, feel free to reach us at support@shortcircuitstudio.com or join our Discord community. Thanks for playing and supporting the game on both platforms! 🎮✨

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2026-03-18*

This is exactly the kind of game I was looking for on the App Store.. Chill, puzzle-solving and with a beautiful aesthetic. Thanks!

### 5/5 — This game is so fun

*2026-01-27, version 2.0.22*

I really enjoy this game and it's actually really addictive its so fin to build its kind of like tetris but building and the small details are so cool definitely worth downloading

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-01-16, version 2.0.22*

Love this game, really great way to pass the time without an internet connection. Relaxing feel and a healthy level of puzzling!!!

### 5/5 — Incroyable

*2025-11-01*

Le jeu est vraiment super, les graphismes sont vraiment très bons et relaxants. 

Seul bémol, votre jeu est trop addictif 😁

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce super avis ! Nous sommes ravis que vous aimiez les graphismes et l’ambiance relaxante — et désolés (un peu 😁) que le jeu soit aussi addictif ! Merci pour votre soutien, ça compte beaucoup pour notre petite équipe. Si vous souhaitez partager des idées ou retours, rejoignez notre Discord ou écrivez-nous à support@shortcircuitstudio.com

### 5/5 — iPhone iPad differences

*2025-07-29*

Playing mainly on iPad. Not sure why themes do not show up on iPhone. The daily reward does not sync either.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful and enthusiastic review! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the game and appreciate the comparison to other favorites like Triple Town, Dorfromantik, and Polytopia! It’s great to hear you value the relaxed pace and deeper strategy options.

We’re especially glad you’ve found Teeny Tiny Town worth the purchase and are having fun exploring its features. Your suggestion for more visual options is fantastic, and we’ll definitely keep that in mind for future updates. In fact, we’re dropping an update this week ahead of the holidays, so keep your eyes peeled! Thank you for your support and kind words—it truly means a lot! 😊🌟
