### 3/5 — Good game, yet buggy

*2017-07-22, version 1.0.5*

The episodes are truly telling and make a great story. The problem is that episode 4 is still riddled with bugs that crash the game.

### 4/5 — Good game but ...

*2017-07-21*

Très bon jeu, mais qui pour l'instant plante au premier chapitre :/

Very good game, but it crashes everytime during the 1st chapter.

### 4/5 — crashes

*2017-07-20, version 1.0.2*

It crashes in the exact spot the other review stated. Otherwise, I love the story, my favourite is derivation.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2017-07-15*

I really want to like the game but it crashes every 10 minutes.

Thank you for purchasing our game. We are very sorry to hear you run into troubles.

In order to better understand your problem and get help on the way, may we ask for the following info please?

* exact description of your device (e.g. iPad Air 2 64GB)
* iOS version (e.g. iOS 8.0.3)
* available memory on your device

We investigated the reported issues and realized this happens with several apps (even very well known Apps) more often than thought. This should not be an excuse for the problems with The Lion's Song though. We will work hard on our end to solve all issues reported. Following those existing issues on the net, for several users a restart of the device solved the issue. We are aware this is a cheesy technical approach, but please give it a try.

We will do our best to solve your problem to allow you experiencing The Lion's Song as intended.

Thanks for your understanding.

Yours Mi'pu'mi

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2017-07-15, version 1.0.2*

I was enjoying the game until the last chapter where the game just crashes at the point where the brother is about to tell a story about getting his harmonica. I tried three different times, even restarted, and it crashes at exactly the same spot. Otherwise, this game is interesting, but not so much a game in the traditional sense as there are no puzzles to solve. There are points where you have to interact with the game to move the story along, and sometimes it's a little confusing what you are supposed to do. You also have to make some dialogue choices which will change the outcome. The stories are interesting, and I would like to finish the game, so please fix the crash problem.

### 1/5 — Non risponde ai comandi

*2019-02-02, version 1.0.9*

Ho tolto i sottotitoli, ma continua a non farmi sentire l’audio.
Sembra un gioco vecchio.

### 1/5 — Do not buy!!!

*2017-08-04*

Not actually a game. Short and worthless

### 1/5 — Mal progettato

*2017-07-25, version 1.0.5*

La storia sarebbe anche originale e intrigante, ma la traduzione è approssimativa, la grafica non adatta alla visualizzazione da Smart phone, le scelte da parte del giocatore praticamente ininfluenti.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2017-07-16, version 1.0.2*

App has crashed 6 times in 10 minutes and makes you repeat slow starting storyline.

### 1/5 — Auf keine Fall!!!!!!

*2017-07-15, version 1.0.2*

Ich kann die guten reviews überhaupt nicht verstehen.
Die Steuerung ist katastrophal, die Story mehr als öde. Auf keine Fall kaufen. Es gibt so viele gute Adventures - auch aus kleineren unabhängigen Produktionen die liebevoll gemacht sind und wo die Charaktere auch ins Detail beschrieben werden aber hier ist wirklich ALLES schlecht. Es passiert nichts, die cut scenes sind ätzend und langatmig und mir fehlen echt die Worte wie ich mich ärgere hier Geld für ausgegeben zu haben.
Ich hätte 0 Sterne gegeben wenn es möglich wäre.

### 2/5 — Way too Short

*2017-08-17*

Love the art style and aesthetic of the game. BUT... it took me about 20 minutes to play the whole game! To me I think a $5 game should provide more to offer. All in all, it's not worth it.

### 2/5 — Bummer

*2017-08-05*

This is what happens when phenomenal artwork and storytelling is ruined by an abysmal audio track and control scheme. Whoever programmed this should be punched in the face: the game glitch quits a lot, and the interactive points are hard to select. I play a lot of iOS games, and this one deeply upset me. Especially since I used to work in games and could have easily solved these problems. Bummer!

### 2/5 — Promising app that fills a niche need for quality LitRPG style games but poorly executed.

*2017-07-19*

I like the interactive storylines concept. I enjoyed the somewhat sepia-ish overall look and feel combined with the subtle orchestral style cinematic soundscapes very much. Unfortunately the game play is not as fluid as I would have liked. The gameplay is not fluid -as in after the game crashed out completely for the 5th or 6th time during the 1st episode I got aggravated with it and haven't played again. The Lion's song has much promise for a certain segment of users but needs further development in my humble opinion. At this point I think $5 is way too steep price for this app. I may check the game out again at some point, if the developers release some bug fixes. 

Game tested on 2017-iPad Pro 12.9inch, 200gb free space, running most recent update of iOS,

### 2/5 — Not really a game

*2017-07-17*

This is more of a story where you click on things to move it along. No puzzle solving or challenges. The music is repetitive and eh. Also it crashes frequently. Not worth $5

### 2/5 — not worth the price

*2017-07-16*

I finished this game rather quickly and there weren't very many places I could actually interact and "choose". Not worth the 5 that I paid for it save your money.

### 5/5 — Истории,который люди должны услышать

*2019-04-30, version 1.0.9*

-Если бы у вас была возможность поменять что-то в жизни что бы это было ?
-Хмм.Вероятно.Я сам...
  Я сам...Это действительно серьезное заявление, но порой задумываешься, что отвечал ранее так же.Взглянуть даже на «ПАРАДОКС» и начинаешь представлять,начиная от корня заданного отрезка(цикла)жизни каждую ветвь и заканчивая возможностью бытия и результата... Злость или даже счастье.Наверное , просто тупик.В своей жизни я точно упустил что-то.Какую-то переменную.Знаю, что можно попробовать нормализовать и постараться приблизиться лишь к возможному , но это будет уже не то.
 Игра словно осколок реальной жизни, по которой она даёт нам пройтись и даже почувствовать её острые и возможно, не очень углы,даря очень сильные эмоции.
 Произведение очень сильное,глубокое, ироничное, что рекомендовать каждому я бы не стал.Не скажу, что это шедевр.Однако, оно очень сильно похоже на него.Очень рад, что такое можно встретить в наше время.
 В целом графика и музыка передаёт полную атмосферу, а сюжет мягко укутает вас в нежные переулки города и звуки толпы.

У меня вылетала ошибка в моменте , когда первый протагонист должен был услышать музыку с гор ...В момент , когда музыка должна была заиграть , она вылетала и ощутить историю первого человека мне не удалось из-за чего концовка сильно пострадала , но даже с учетом этого я сам дописал в разуме как оно произошло и конец оправдался.

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2017-12-22*

Truly beautiful game. Loved the art style and the storytelling.

### 5/5 — Великолепно!!!

*2017-09-18, version 1.0.7*

Это шедевр! Просто. Купите.

### 5/5 — Interesting Story

*2017-09-07*

I have always found these types of games to be very interesting, the story is fabulous with an amazing art style. I totally would recommend this come to anyone who is looking to just lose themselves in a story

### 5/5 — Enthralling, With Replay Value

*2017-08-25*

I've been waiting for a game like this. There aren't any traditional puzzles in this game, but interaction is fun nonetheless. Unique, pithy narrative with gorgeous design. Each episode probably averages at 20 min, with great replay value since different decisions ricochet through the narratives. So much fun to be part of the creative processes of the characters--won't find another like this hidden gem. At least 3 hours of content, and first episode is free on Steam if you're skittish.

### 5/5 — I really liked it! 😃

*2017-08-10, version 1.0.6*

Was an interesting take on art, including math and how it is related to it. I personally liked it. I have recommended it to some of my friends and they enjoyed it as well.

### 5/5 — Un très bon rapport qualité/prix

*2017-08-05*

Un très bon jeu très immersif ! J'ai passé un très bon moment.

### 5/5 — Beautiful, immersive and mysterious

*2017-07-14*

I absolutely love adventure games in pixel art. So biased aside this is a truly special game, almost more so an experience. Each episode a new character in the labyrinth of the story and you get to connect the dots and see how it all unfolds. Masterpiece!! Thank you to the Dev team!

### 5/5 — Finally on iOS

*2017-07-14, version 1.0.2*

Awesome quiet and narrative game driven less by big show-value , but more by the interesting characters and the value of the story.
I totally recommend this!
