Im limited to like 4 slots of the 6 or 7 I have because Items keep getting removed? Why license things to buy when they don’t auto stock? Also recipes get tedious after a while when there’s chain crafts to be made before you get to a current one and keeping them off the shelves(those auto stock 🙄) is a right bloody nightmare. It’s a cute game. It’s got story and the graphics are really nice but some of the gameplay is overly tedious vs other games like this. Also again? What’s the point of having more slots to craft with when I can’t even use them? ### 3/5 — 没有中文 *2026-01-27, version 0.1.125* 希望可以加上中文 ### 3/5 — Fix ads issue *2026-01-24, version 0.1.125* It’s too frustrating to play not being able to skip anything because of the absence of ads, what’s the point of having it as an option if it’s not possible to watch more than 2 ads a day, can even enter the shop to buy ad tickets ### 4/5 — ㅃ *2026-01-24, version 0.1.125* 한국어 왜 안눌러지지 ### 4/5 — Honest Review *2025-12-23, version 0.1.125* Pretty Good ### 4/5 — Great first impression! *2025-12-08, version 0.1.125* I've had a total of less than 36hrs of play time with this game and it's fun so far. UI is readable and easy to navigate and the mechanics of the game seem good so far. I've been testing out various shop simulator games and this one has yet to be deleted from my phone. So far, so good! It's fun. ### 4/5 — Entretenido *2025-11-29, version 0.1.125* Todo bien por el momento ### 2/5 — Can’t Progress *2025-11-21, version 0.1.125* I need 35 AETHERO INSULATING EMPTY BOTTLES to complete Fungal Troubles-Part 1-Part 5/6. Cannot complete Quest without them, but they are nowhere to be found! This happens often, items being required, but no clue at all where to get them?!?!? I enjoy this game, but if I can’t find or craft needed items, there will be no reason for me to continue playing. BTW I tried looking on Discord but find it to be utterly useless…..Please provide a way to know how to get needed items ### 5/5 — Good *2025-11-17, version 0.1.124* Very good and fun like stardew valley ### 3/5 — Kindly fix the bug *2025-11-17, version 0.1.124* I hope that the “bug” that I encounter gets fixed. I noticed that it happens when I play without internet connection then later on, I play with it while I have the internet connection already. My progress isn’t saved and I have to repeat what’s already done. It’s really annoying. It happened many times, not once or twice. I hope it gets fixed. ### 5/5 — Крутая игрушка *2025-11-11, version 0.1.124* Ира отличная, очень приятная и занятая. И очень не хватает русского языка! ### 5/5 — ชอบมาก *2025-11-10, version 0.1.124* เกมสวยเข้าใจง่ายเล่นเพลิน โฆษณาไม่เด้งเองขึ้นเอง สามารถเลือกดูเองได้ แพ็คเกจเติมก็ไม่แพงมาก ### 4/5 — can’t sync *2025-11-09, version 0.1.124* can’t sync between iphone and ipad, iphone game data died, no way back, I can’t carry ipad anytime, time to say goodby. One last try I magically succeeded. Took me about one annoying hour. ### 2/5 — I want to love it! *2025-11-07, version 0.1.124* This is a cute game, cute graphics, and you can tell the creators put a lot of heart into it with all the narrative stories and quests. I’ve been playing for a while and unfortunately it starts to lose its charm. Since I’ve licensed so many items, I’m buying a lot of things from the shop to resell while I wait for crafted items to finish. But the purchased items don’t. automatically. place. Ugh! So the game has become all about stocking shelves with 7 swords I just bought, then stocking them again, and again… I have so much gold to spend but I’m not expanding my shop because I don’t want more shelves to stock by hand! I would love for items I buy to resell to auto place like crafted items do, please 😭 Update: I did stop playing the game because of this :/ ### 5/5 — Fun and always something to do *2025-11-05, version 0.1.212* So far I've been enjoying the game and it seems there's always something to do. That might change at higher levels, but so far the pace is nice. You can play whenever and focus on any areas you want. Beautiful graphics and sound and regular updates. Definitely one of the better games in the App Store. (Many months later it's still one of my favorite games.) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-11-01, version 0.1.211* One of the best games I’ve ever played. So addicting I’ve been replaying it on 2 accounts. Recommend to everyone I know! ### 3/5 — I want to love it! *2025-10-31* This is a cute game, cute graphics, and you can tell the creators put a lot of heart into it with all the narrative stories and quests. I’ve been playing for a while and unfortunately it starts to lose its charm.

There is wayyyy too much dialogue between characters and the text is full of grammatical errors. Regardless, it was a fun game until yesterday when they released a game breaking Christmas event update (a little late for Christmas in the last week of February). I can no longer drag items onto stands to sell. Also cannot drag stands or decorations into the shop. The placement UI gets frozen in place on screen. Game is now unplayable :( ### 1/5 — No option to have no ads *2025-09-28, version 0.1.209* Cute. Looks to be fun. But if you don’t have an option to get rid of ads permanently then I have no interest in playing. ### 1/5 — 言語がページの表記と全然違う *2025-09-20, version 0.1.206* 日本語も追加されたのかと思ってダウンロードしたのに騙された。無いならないって素直に書いてくれればいいのに。ガッカリ。 ### 1/5 — Does not match the app store information. *2025-09-03, version 0.1.206* There are no other languages except English and French. ### 1/5 — Why is there no Chinese? *2025-03-15, version 0.1.204* Can Chinese be added? ### 1/5 — 沒中文 *2025-02-19, version 0.1.203* 騙人的，沒中文 ### 1/5 — como demonios vinculo la cuenta? *2024-11-10, version 0.1.196* el juego es muy bonito y relajante, pero no hay forma de vincular mi cuenta por miedo a perder todo el progreso, tampoco veo a ningun lado donde puedo crear una cuenta. ### 1/5 — Amazing app but no gem confirmation *2024-09-07, version 0.1.191* I love this game, but I’ve been trying to grind gems to save up for the rarer blueprints. The reasoning for my one star review, despite the addicting and awesome game play is that there is no extra confirmation for spending gems. Therefore they want you to spend as much as possible so they can try and persuade you into spending real money for gems. Gems are a PREMIUM currency and you can only earn 1-5 per mission. While the blueprints are easily 150+. I was doing my best to try and save up for one when the game lagged and I accidentally hit the speed up version, easily wasting over 2 hours worth of grinding. Granted the game has no in game adds, which is a must for me, but the fact that there is no confirmation for speed ups makes me incredibly frustrated as my 2 hours where wasted in a blink of an eye. I hope they add this to prevent future players, with or with out reliable internet to waste their gems on. Honestly I rated this 5 stars before because of how perfect it was, but this caveat makes me incredibly frustrated and I hope they add an additional confirmation screen. I’d actually spend money on this game like I have for previous apps, but the fact that they don’t care if their customers waste their money, makes me absolutely not want to spent money on this game knowing that within a blink of an eye my gems could be gone. ### 1/5 — 초반 튜토리얼이 너무 깁니다 *2024-08-28, version 0.1.190* 자유롭게 알아가며 하고싶은데 튜토리얼이 너무 길고 말이 많아요 ### 1/5 — Why? *2024-08-19, version 0.1.190* The annoying intro character does not go away, just keeps popping up, taking up the whole screen saying tap this tap that. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-21, version 0.1.221* Mindless time sink ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-07-18, version 0.1.221* Fun and a lot of tasks to do ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-13, version 0.1.221* Love it ### 5/5 — please *2026-07-13, version 0.1.221* I’d really appreciate it if Chinese‑language support is added. ### 5/5 — A hidden gem of a wonderful game *2026-04-08, version 0.1.219* It’s a little buggy, it’s a little wonky, it’s a delight. Some legitimately funny writing (plenty of lame writing too) and cute character interactions. I wish the crafting menu had some quality of life improvements like being able to tap an item in the menu to pull up its own crafting tab, but there’s just little tweaks I’d ask for. I love this game so much. ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-02-10, version 0.1.125* I never make reviews but I love this game so I had to ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-02-05, version 0.1.125* Sem anúncios obrigatórios, estilo de arte e gráficos muito bonitos e gameplay bacana. Vale a pena 👍 ### 5/5 — Super cute *2026-01-26, version 0.1.125* This app is so cute and fun. Not too complicated, minimal ads, and gorgeous art. Reminds me of older games a little but in the best way. ### 5/5 — Favorite Game *2026-01-12, version 0.1.125* One of the best casual mobile games. I’ve had it for over a year& continue to keep playing. Great graphics, fun to craft, sell & build out your shop. Great events. No forced ads, but optional ways to watch ads & advance as well as numerous ways to support the creators. ### 5/5 — เกมดีมาก *2025-11-18, version 0.1.124* ชอบงานอาร์ตเกมนี้ ภาพสวย สนุกมากเล่นเพลิน --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
