### 4/5 — Simple fun game!

*2023-08-22, version 1.2*

Simple fun game with really good pixel art and a neat little story. 

NO Ads ✅👏🏼👍🏼

### 2/5 — Nice idea, poorly executed

*2022-08-21, version 1.2*

It’s eh, alright. Good graphics, nice music. Not worth the price, though. I’m sure there was effort put into the game but it doesn’t really show. Sorta repetitive.

### 4/5 — Awesome game but has a slight bug

*2020-03-20, version 1.2*

so (spoilers) when you play as the fox if you die you can still move and because you can move you can ( if it’s spikes) slide and fall out of the map

### 5/5 — Awesome except for one thing.

*2019-01-15, version 1.2*

The game is awesome, but I have encountered a glitch that you jump really far and then there is just the outline of it, I was still alive but nothing was there. I could not see anything. It really challenges you to the top of your skills.

### 2/5 — Not so great

*2018-09-20, version 1.2*

The game is good when it comes to game play and graphics but I have respawn issues. I was an all grown up deer fighting a giant snake boss but when it killed mevI would respawn in the dungeon as a baby and couldn’t  get out...

### 5/5 — spettacolare

*2018-07-31, version 1.2*

un atmosfera perfetta ed un mondo da esplorare infinito

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2018-01-03, version 1.2*

Incredible game! I’m in love

### 2/5 — Not Worth the High Price

*2017-06-30, version 1.2*

Lovely visuals, but the game is ill suited for touch screen controls. I also encountered several progress halting bugs, most of which involved becoming stuck in level geometry.

### 3/5 — Good but full of bugs

*2017-04-08, version 1.2*

The game is gorgeous and a lot of fun... except the bugs and quirks. The save mechanism and respawn is still a mystery... I was stuck underneath an alligator and couldn't move, so I went to the menu and when I returned all of the alligators were herons. Another time I respawned as a porcupine and was stuck in the water. There's just too many places where you can get stuck without understanding why.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-02-26, version 1.2*

The graphics are gorgeous and I love the plot. I only wish you could choose which animal you play as aside from a deer. Otherwise definitely worth the money
