Absolutely Stunning

Such elegance, imagination, warmth and gorgeousness.

What’s going on?

I played the first two levels of this game, and I still have no idea what is happening. Is there a story? Who are these people? What is going on?
I just tap randomly in the places the game wants me to, but I’ve no idea why the tap did something or how it moves the story forward.
Did I just solve a puzzle? Really? What was it?
From what I can tell, there’s neither game nor story to be found. Pity, as it looks like a lot of work has gone into this.
I guess I’ll find something else to play.

Great strategic game with a story

This is such a cute game and I love how it makes you think. Adorable animation, super cute plot so far, and it runs super smoothly!! It’s so very creative. I love this game a lot!

Chill & cozy

I absolutely love this game, it’s such a cozy game. The music in the game makes it so relaxing to play. A 10 out of 10 cozy game in my book 🤍

Your game

Your game is so challenging. If this is for a four year old or three years old, you guys are like weirdos and challenging people to get smarter but they have school and preschool so they can do it by their selves and their teachers and I am an 8 1/2 year-old in third grade and I am old in third grade so I can’t even solve this so I think you guys need to delete this game because it is way too challenging and that’s why I gave it a one star rating if I could, I would rate it a zero star 0.0 like. 1 million times of zero because your game is so challenging I can’t even do it. I don’t even wanna play anymore so thanks for making me feel so challenge for the rest of the week.
