### 3/5 — Ламповая игра.

*2015-04-19, version 1.6.5*

Красивая реализация.Тяжело воссоздать все цепи эволюции.

### 2/5 — Игра не о чем

*2015-04-14, version 1.6.5*

Просто нажимаем на кнопки слева, потом на кнопку эволюция и все.... Игра кончилась.

### 3/5 — More of a demo

*2013-10-16*

When looking into the dev's newer games, like meadowlands, I came across this. I'm not sure why it's sold for real money, though, because it's more practice demo than game; pick a few choices and either lose or get an achievement. I'd expect something like this to have evolving graphics and music, not a few minimal variations on a theme. Despite the endless possibilities, the replay value is practically nothing.

### 2/5 — シミュレーションを期待してはいけない

*2013-07-15*

自由度が低い。できることは植物、生き物、水など6つの要素を追加することだけ。その順番によって結果が少し変わるぐらい

### 4/5 — Interesting

*2013-07-10*

I have some of the most well-known games on my ipad, and I end up spending more time on this. not a game, feels like you're making your own mini world
(Be good to have some more worlds to discover to keep me interested)

### 2/5 — うーん

*2013-07-03*

なんというか、芸術的？でも楽しくはない

### 3/5 — ちと微妙。

*2013-05-30*

紹介されている通り、ゲームではないです。
いや正しくはゲームという括りにされたくないです。
ですので、レビューではゲームではなくアプリと言わせていただきます。

このアプリは、
"数個ある選択肢を選んでいって、結果的にどのような最終形態になるか"
と言うある意味マルチエンディングなアプリです。

ストーリーがある訳ではなく、キャラクターも存在しません。
やろうと思えば、パターンを片っ端からやっていけば全パターン見れるでしょう。

私としては、"どのような進化をするか"を選んだ後にある程度時間を掛けて変化があって欲しかったです。
実際は進化は一瞬、すぐに他のアクションが出来てしまいます。
何かきっかけを与え、それによって進化する様が見れれば満足だったのですが・・

### 3/5 — Good thing it's free

*2013-03-14*

Yup

### 3/5 — It's OK

*2013-02-26*

I love these types of games, but unfortunately this game is not worth the 99 cents it is.

### 2/5 — Unsure!!!

*2012-10-14, version 1.3*

Got good graphics pleasant sounds but I'm kinda lost as your limited to what you can add,you can only add 6 items to the world in various combos!!. I meant to give this a 2* rating not a 5* it's no way worth 69p,I'm insane for buying it so please dont join me uninstall!!!

### 1/5 — Nul

*2012-09-25*

Aucun interet

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE❗❗❗

*2012-09-23*

If you're considering purchasing this app- save yourself some time and just flush your money down the toilet.  I wish I did!  😁

### 1/5 — 😡

*2015-04-15, version 1.6.5*

Фу

### 1/5 — A placeholder

*2013-01-14, version 1.4*

It's not a game at all. Someone can call this "masterpiece of art" but not a game.

### 1/5 — Neanche gratis vale la pena

*2012-12-15, version 1.4*

Veramente brutto. Non c'è interattività di alcun tipo.

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2012-12-14, version 1.4*

L'app più inutile di tutto lo store,presa gratis e subito cancellata

### 1/5 — So bad

*2012-12-05, version 1.4*

Worst game ever

### 1/5 — CAN'T open it

*2012-11-30, version 1.4*

I have Sky Walk which I love. Trusted enough to buy this and one other, but I can' even open it. 1 star is too much.  Please sort this out!!!!

### 1/5 — Stürzt nur ab!

*2012-10-12, version 1.3*

Dieses Spiel funktioniert bei meinem ipod 3G nicht einmal, fehler beheben bitte, sonst sind die 0,79 cent vergebens bezahlt.

### 1/5 — A joke...

*2012-10-04, version 1.3*

DON'T BUY THAT SHIT !!! Worst game ever created... o_O You can't do nothing in this "game"

### 1/5 — Meh

*2012-09-25, version 1.3*

Pros:
- Graphics are nice.

Cons:
- I paid for this!
- Each "evolution" takes needlessly long (5 seconds?) just to then tap another icon and repeat. 
- There's no point to this app (though I'm happy to admit that maybe it's ME who just doesn't get it).
- I THINK the point is a relaxing experience? But the music is repetitive and annoying. 

I hoped that this would be a semi god-game where you evolve a snow glove type world; nothing too taxing, maybe some little people doing something etc. Even a bit more animation would make me happier. 
But instead you just tap icons, wait for the flash to fade so your icons come back, and repeat. Eventually you create an "evolved" world and then.....well that's it. Start again, make other random selections....

My suggestion would be to take 69p out of your purse/wallet and learn how to juggle with it. Sometimes tech lets us down :(

### 1/5 — Scam

*2012-09-25, version 1.3*

Just been robbed 75cent game not working. This is just inacceptable how Apple authorize games like that! 

Will rerate if repaired meanwhile DO NOT BUY THIS!

### 5/5 — I like this game -it's fun

*2015-04-19*

It is addicting especially when you can't figure a particular world's configuration ! Can anyone give me a little help with tree dwellers ? Or endless rain? I just want to go to sleep : ) !

### 5/5 — Bon jeu de réflexion

*2015-04-13, version 1.6.5*

Jeu original sympa et zen, on y crée des sortes d'écosystèmes qui sont voués à évoluer ou pas. Assez intuitif une fois qu on a compris la logique.

### 5/5 — I Love this game!

*2014-06-14*

I think the concept is great! I would love to see more games like this! :)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2013-06-29*

This is a beautiful game that is very fun to play. Unlocking all the world names is difficult but that makes it a challenge. If you like games that require you to play over and over making different combinations to achieve a goal then this is a game you should consider.

### 5/5 — 小さな世界

*2013-04-30*

日本語対応ありがとうございます。組み合わせることで色々な小さな幻想的世界が…♪素敵ぃぃ♪

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-02-10, version 1.5*

It's a great game

### 5/5 — Puzzlespiel mit Chillout-Faktor

*2012-12-15, version 1.4*

Vom Gameplay her spielt sich das nette kleine Spiel hier in etwa wie die GROW Cube-Reihe: durch Auswahl von Items in unterschiedlicher Reihenfolge können unterschiedliche Enden erreicht werden.
Die Grafik ist längst nicht so detailliert und comichaft animiert wie bei GROW, es entsteht aber der gleiche Entdeckerdrang, neue Kombinatinen zu finden.
Musik und Sound säuseln so dahin im langsamen Takt der Transformationen, während man nach und nach alle Evolutionsstufen freischaltet. Wovon man dann aber nichts hat. Der Weg ist das Ziel, wie es scheint.
Insgesamt ein gelungenes und sehr gechilltes Kombinations-Puzzle, für das ich eigentlich 4 Sterne gegeben hätte. Weil ein paar Actionkids die Bewertung aber so runtergezogen haben, gibts von mir die volle Punktzahl.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2012-09-14*

It's simple and engaging. This app is about critical thinking.

### 5/5 — 幻想的な世界

*2012-09-12*

同作者の別アプリ「ブルームーン」が好きなので、新作がとても嬉しい。今回も幻想的な独特の世界が楽しめた。夜中にプレイすると、良い感じにリラックス出来ます。今は英語のみですが、分からなくても問題なくプレイ出来ます。

### 4/5 — 否定的なコメント多いですが…

*2014-02-05*

シミュレーション要素もなく、アニメーションもあまりないのですが、パズルのように考えています。六つの要素の掛け合わせで、18種の世界が作れますが、過程がやや自由なので、同じ世界でも手順変わると見た目は変わります。ルールがわかると楽しくなってきます。
