### 5/5 — Uwu!, Thanks Tezuka!

*2023-11-09*

I Love That App Game! Good Job!

### 4/5 — Amazing game! But has it’s flaws...

*2020-01-29*

I’m a huge fan of Tezuka’s works and the match-3 app game format, so when I found this game I instantly got hooked! Unfortunately -it may just be that it hasn’t been updated to fit newer phone models- the game tends to lag no matter what level I play or what speed I’m going at. Additionally, on timed levels, whenever it lags, the countdown speeds up 3x as fast for whatever reason. Also with furniture collections, later the Gashapon has only been giving me either the same chair or a TV set, and I mean ONLY the chair or TV. Other than that, highly recommend to anyone who likes a challenge and adores Tezuka’s works! Great game, has some bugs.

### 3/5 — The Great Gasahpon Scam

*2019-03-08*

Everything about this game is aesthetically pleasing, from the characters to the environment, and this cutesy feel to them. However to get all items to decorate your room is solely relied on the gashapon system. And I’m being cheated out of my currency for a system that says is randomized but is actually on a loop every time the game is rebooted.
If they can fix this function to where all my items are randomized each time I insert currency, I’ll come back to play the game again.

### 5/5 — なかなか

ゲームはおもろい、

### 5/5 — Super cute game!

*2016-12-26*

Would definitely recommend to any of my fellow Tezuka fanatics! :)

### 1/5 — ゲームはいい

*2016-12-12*

しかし ゲーム中のフリーズは こんなに単純なゲームなのにウザい

### 1/5 — イライラする

*2016-11-13*

ゲーム中に度々フリーズする。
あと日本語が不自然

### 3/5 — もう少し頑張って

*2016-10-26*

フリーズが残念

### 2/5 — いまいち…

*2016-10-18*

フリーズになるし、楽しみ方もちょっと…

### 2/5 — なぜか棄てられない

*2016-10-16*

動きも悪く、この手のゲームの中では出来悪いと思えるのに なぜか遊んでしまう。
