They are not updating as the should? ### 4/5 — Can’t buy desert or ocean homes *2025-09-22, version 1.1.8* Hello! I’ve redownloaded this game after having played it in my youth, and I’m currently enjoying it greatly :) My only issue is that I have discovered both the Zuggerat pyramid and should theoretically be able to hatch Cyno and place the desert theme home, but I cannot buy the desert home as it says I haven’t completed the “to the desert” quest, even though I have. Im having the same issue with the “to the coast” quest as well, and cannot progress the game. Is there anyway to fix this? I had no problem with unlocking the fire element, but none after that ### 4/5 — Quests are broken *2025-08-28, version 1.1.8* This game is sooooo fun but please fix the quest bug so I can move forward please ### 3/5 — quests are broken *2025-08-11, version 1.1.8* i’ve loved this game for a while and picked it back up from the beginning for some nostalgia. unfortunately it seems like some time around level 10 or 15, the quest list broke so that you only ever have three active quests at a time. this locks you out of game progress like unlocking desert magic. currently the only quests i have available are impossible, requiring me to have breed desert or water magic creatures despite the quests to unlock those having disappeared, and therefore considered incomplete, despite uncovering the temples. basically, the three quests you see outside the quest menu are the only quests the game considers to exist, and no other quests show up when opening the quest book. this only started happening for me some point after unlocking fire magic. i’m willing to let some things slide since this is an older game and i do t expect frequent updates, but this is a pretty big issue that needs fixing, it totally breaks the game experience. i really hope they end up fixing it, because it’s a genuinely fun game until your progress gets stopped. ### 4/5 — Super Fun! *2025-06-14, version 1.1.8* I love this game and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I just think it needs a few bug fixes (for example when I hit level 9 all my creature descriptions disappear and the enchanted tree loses it's creature display when selecting what to mix (making Mixing Unmixable Magics undoable) there's also something to be said with not being able to defeat the queen for finality. you never do get to save Wendy. All in all, i will never not love this game, it just feels incomplete ### 2/5 — Cannot complete tasks/cannot advance in the game *2024-08-29, version 1.1.8* I love this game but… it has some issues. I am unable to buy a desert or beach home despite exploring the ENTIRE second island (even the ziggurat and the seashell lighthouse). I guess it’s because the quest that allows it will not show up due to the screen only showing 3 quests at a time. Someone else mentioned having this experience so it’s a problem with the game itself. PLEASE FIX :( ### 2/5 — Unable to see/complete quests *2024-08-26, version 1.1.8* On iPad, quests only appear three at a time. So quests that I have technically completed like reaching area check points, aren’t marked as complete, so I cannot build habitats for that specific biome and I am soft blocked from moving forward with the game. ### 3/5 — It’s fun to play *2024-06-13* But I can’t see any of the place descriptions/info and characters aren’t shown when I’m trying to pick someone to fight or to summon new eggs ### 2/5 — Can’t buy desert *2024-04-29, version 1.1.8* I discovered the ziggurat and got the cynic egg but it says I need to finish the quest deserted to get the desert. Am I glitched? It never popped up as completed when I opened up the ziggurat. ### 2/5 — Tiny castle *2024-03-20, version 1.1.7* Defeat enemy then the get ejected from the game ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-02-28, version 1.1.7* Can’t banish the goblins without game crashing. ### 3/5 — Shutting down *2024-01-06, version 1.1.7* I loved this game since I started playing years ago. I just found it again and started over, however it will not allow me to connect to my Facebook and when every I banish someone it completely shuts down. What’s going on? I would like to continue to play but am unable ### 4/5 — Can’t move forward *2023-11-19, version 1.1.7* When I banish a minion is exits out of the game and the minion is still there ### 2/5 — Crashes every time I banish *2023-09-09, version 1.1.7* Crashes every time I banish ### 3/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME, BUT THERES A PROBLEM *2023-08-23, version 1.1.7* Hello, I played this game when I was very young and adored it. Recently I started playing again for fun, and my iPad is compatible. For some reason however, banishing minions causes the game to crash, every single time. I’ve deleted and reinstalled, restarted my iPad, reset my settings and done everything I could think of. (Not a storage problem, I’m only using half of my available storage). This is a big issue since minions need to be defeated to progress the storyline. ### 2/5 — Fix bug and small content *2023-06-30, version 1.1.7* Every time I finish a battle my game crash and the game make me pay to heal my monster and the monster I beat is still there. Also everything is over price so there is a small gameplay and if you want to finish the game without money glitch that’s gonna take you YEARS. 50mo is not a good trad ### 3/5 — Consertem os bugs!!! *2023-06-16* O jogo é ótimo, mas se fecha sozinho depois das batalhas e não salva nada. Se consertassem ficaria 100% ### 2/5 — Crashes *2023-06-11, version 1.1.7* I redownloaded the game after a couple years away from it hoping it was the same as how I remembered but every time I go to battle a goblin and finish the fight it crashes. ### 4/5 — Update *2023-05-24, version 1.1.7* You should update the game again! I’ve always loved this game but I don’t think its very compatible with the new iPhones such as mine (iPhone 12) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-01-19, version 1.1.8* Quests disappear that lock you out of content with no way to fix it. I cannot buy desert or beach homes, but I have a quest to collect from beach habitats. I also had a quest to mix fire and desert magic (now disappeared). I had a quest to get an undine (now disappeared). I had a quest to unlock desert magic (now disappeared). I think you get the idea. ### 1/5 — App crashes every time I defeat an enemy please fix *2024-02-21, version 1.1.7* Just like the title says ### 1/5 — Bugs still not fixed! *2023-11-08, version 1.1.7* Every time you fight/banish the game glitches and closes the app ### 1/5 — too laggy *2023-07-07, version 1.1.7* literally every time I try to kill one of the queen’s minions, the app crashes. I can’t do anything. ### 1/5 — Cannot access old game *2023-07-06, version 1.1.7* You cannot transfer purchases with this game! I’ve lost an established world that I spent money one. Pretty crappy if you ask me! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2023-02-10, version 1.1.7* Impossible to fight monsters without crashing. Requests to support go unanswered. ### 1/5 — Game crashes *2023-01-17, version 1.1.7* I love this game but can no longer make progress because every time I battle a monster the game crashes and gets rid of progress. Please please fix. ### 1/5 — It’s broken & where’s the IMP?! *2021-04-06, version 1.1.7* has anyone ever hatched an imp without paying for it on this game or did they leave certain species out on purpose to try and get people to spend money on this like the greedy little suckers they are? the whole design is flawed. I really liked the game until all of a sudden it stopped displaying the menus so i can’t select anything. can’t contact anyone to troubleshoot. their twitter page has been inactive since 2018. restarting the phone doesn’t help. i paid money for it, too. what a waste. ### 1/5 — NEEDS AN UPDATE! *2020-07-05, version 1.1.7* This game desperately needs an update! Whenever I click on the creature encyclopedia the right side and lower half of the book is cutoff and many descriptions for buildings are cutoff. Also whenever I wake up a creature from the dream tower they don’t physically appear in their habit and I have to move them to another habit for them to appear again. Whenever I use the magic well and farm the lower options are cutoff but the absolute worst part is that whenever I use the enchanted tree none of the creatures appear so whenever I try to breed a creature I have to take a shot in the dark because I have no clue which creatures I’m selecting. This is really annoying and ruins my gaming experience. I used to play this game when it didn’t have this many issues and I loved it so it saddens me to see the game now have this many problems. Please update the game so it can go back to its glory. ### 1/5 — Bad. *2020-02-21, version 1.1.7* I literally never received any of my in app purchases but Apple and the app creator won’t refund my money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Third island *2026-03-18, version 1.1.8* I can’t unlock the third island what gives P.S are you still doing updates on this app? ### 5/5 — Add more monsters! *2026-03-13, version 1.1.8* I’ve been playing this game for a really long time, and I’m almost done collecting all of the rare monsters and sprees. Since this game isn’t being actively updated anymore, it would be really nice if the devs would make the limited monsters available to breed again. It’s a bummer that I can’t 100% the game just because I came back to it too late. Otherwise, lots of fun! ### 5/5 — Game is super cute and fun, despite understandable issues… *2025-04-24, version 1.1.8* Love this game I used to play it when I was little, but it can be super glitchy at times, which I’m gonna chalk up to this game being a bit older. Currently unable to breed any of my monsters or fight any minions cause there’s a glitch where no options show up to choose between. Would love it if someone ever fixed this cause I want a Djin x ### 5/5 — The game is fun but… *2024-10-06, version 1.1.8* I wish we could rename our creatures. Can you please make it so we can? ### 5/5 — Love this game *2023-10-15, version 1.1.7* Please update something. I play this game for 10 years now. After I banished 1 minion ,its always a bug I have to recovered my monster but minion are stay ,PLEASE I love this game so much ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-02-08, version 1.1.7* Update the game ### 5/5 — Childhood game *2021-06-30, version 1.1.7* This game has been with me for around 6 years maybe longer and I love it so much. It is so unique and interactive I have been playing on and off for a very long time but yet I have never completed it. This is my first time writing a review. I just want to say thank you for making this game and I hope the developer keeps up the good work!! ### 5/5 — Tiny Castle game trouble. *2021-02-16, version 1.1.7* I just installed the game to an iPad to play on because I rarely ever play the game anymore on my iPod and all that. The games fantasy music and main screen pop up for a few seconds and then when the Game Center banner pops up saying "welcome back my name"...then the screen on my iPad goes to black and the game won't come on but the music is playing...what should I do to get the game working again for me to play?...or is it just outdated and not popular enough anymore for people to play...like should I just delete the app on my iPad or something? ### 5/5 — Please update game *2021-01-22, version 1.1.7* I really love this game, 2014 and now, please update this game :( ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2020-10-15, version 1.1.7* I love this game!! It’s so classic, I just wish they’d update it. Add more islands, new characters, etc! I’ve started this game over 3 times just to keep playing! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
