### 4/5 — Fun but Won’t launch on iPhone

*2023-05-05*

May 2023. I love this game and play it on my iPad all the time. I have it on my iPhone as well but it can never be opened on the phone. I hope the developer will fix this issue soon.

### 3/5 — Update Needed

*2022-09-16, version 1.2.8*

Hadn’t played in a few months, came back to see that, unfortunately, the app crashes immediately when opening now. I’ve had this game downloaded for awhile, it’s one of my favorite puzzle games I’ve found on here, hope this can get an update someday!

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2022-04-28, version 1.2.8*

I live this game but recently I cannot play it because upon opening the app it immediatly crashes

### 3/5 — Really Fun Game

*2021-02-08, version 1.2.8*

... one of the best.

Very annoying that I can’t say “I never want to use Game Center” for this app. I don’t know why it was added, it makes no sense, and now I get annoying sign in prompt every time I play.

### 5/5 — Very enjoyable game

*2020-05-26, version 1.2.8*

I liked this game so much I immediately bought the IAP for unlimited lives to support the developer. 

This is just deep enough to keep me interested and coming back for more, and not so deep as to be complicated or frustrating. And the design is gorgeous. I used to play Triple Town, and I actually like this better. 

I also like that you can close the game at any time and it saves your progress. So it’s perfect on a break or commute. 

Thanks for a great game and pricing it fairly with no ads or IAPs!

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-01-01, version 1.2.8*

Rarely if ever do I suggest gamemakers muck up a game I like, but here’s a suggestion. Developers: consider capping the maximum number of free plays somebody can accumulate. Also, lower the price for unlimited play.

Without tweaking these or other variables, I can’t see how you’ll ever get any more money from a casual player like me, but I want you to succeed.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-12-03, version 1.2.8*

Topsoil is a world of fun! Truly engaging, yet relaxing at the same time. Love the minimalistic feel!

### 5/5 — Birds

*2019-05-17, version 1.2.8*

I love the little birds

### 5/5 — Topsoil

*2019-05-16, version 1.2.8*

This game is soooo addictive!!' It's a keeper luv it!

### 4/5 — Relaxing as hell

*2019-04-06, version 1.2.8*

This game makes me super focused and it is super fun to play. I hope there will be more updates in the future though!

### 5/5 — I waste to much time playing but...

*2019-04-05, version 1.2.8*

Doesn’t force you to view ads unless you want more plays, so I so bought the unlimited plays, because that attitude in game development should be supported.

### 5/5 — Love this game, but I have a request

*2019-02-02, version 1.2.8*

I bought the game because I was just playing it so much. But I’ve found that after a certain point I kind of topped out at a score of like 3500, can’t really get past that part. One of the things I like so much about some puzzle games is you can just keep playing them indefinitely and just continuously get slightly better at them. I would play more if the mechanic allowed me to progress just a lil bit more... maybe I’m just not good at it yet :)

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-01-14, version 1.2.8*

Played this game all the time! But now soon as I tap to play it, I can no longer play it :(

Miss playing this game :(

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-01-13, version 1.2.8*

Constantly crashes, when it works I love it. Bought the app, but asking for refund because it immediately crashes upon opening.

### 1/5 — The game is unplayable

*2022-10-18, version 1.2.8*

App does not work at all, even after re-installing.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2022-06-06, version 1.2.8*

Crashes immediately on iPhone 13 iOS 15.5.

### 1/5 — Love the game but now it won’t open

*2021-11-21, version 1.2.8*

I tried sending a message but no reply. What happened?

### 1/5 — Good game but....

*2019-11-07, version 1.2.8*

SO the idea is great and its executed pretty nicely but the fact that i have to pick between these three options to keep playing is dumb: Watch an ad for three more plays, wait 24 HOURS, or pay some money for infinite plays.

### 1/5 — Limited play

*2019-02-10, version 1.2.8*

You're severely limited to how much you can play. Not worth it

### 1/5 — Limited plays per day!?

*2018-11-10, version 1.2.8*

Typical sneaky cash grab... you can only play a few times per day unless you pay $4... what a rip off. Deleting. Never buying an app from this company again.

### 1/5 — Limited play

*2018-11-04, version 1.2.8*

Can’t play as much as I want. Useless

### 2/5 — Why wait

*2019-09-19, version 1.2.8*

The game is great but I’m tired of running out of plays I wanna keep playing I do not want to keep having to wait to play

### 5/5 — Update Needed

*2023-07-27*

Edit: happy to report that the game once again works on my phone, thank you for the update! 

Hadn’t played in a few months, came back to see that, unfortunately, the app crashes immediately when opening now. I’ve had this game downloaded for awhile, it’s one of my favorite puzzle games I’ve found on here, hope this can get an update someday!

### 5/5 — My fave game :)

*2022-11-09, version 1.2.8*

I love this game, I’ve been playing for like two years now and it never gets old. I love that there’s no timer, I can play at my own pace.

### 5/5 — Please update :(

*2022-10-11, version 1.2.8*

I adore playing this game and have since january of 2021 — unfortunately the game has been crashing and glitching often for multiple months :( I miss this game and hope it can be fixed!

### 5/5 — Is this app deleted? Can’t reopen the game

*2022-04-01, version 1.2.8*

This used to be my favorite puzzle game and I’d play it all the time, only now when I click it to open it immediately crashes. I uninstalled it for an extended amount of time, reinstalled it recently, and still- crashes every time. 

Is this game still functional??? Really miss it, and I have no idea why it doesn’t launch now. 

If the developer is on here, please advise!

### 5/5 — Simple to Learn, Difficult to Master

*2021-04-30, version 1.2.8*

Such a fun little game. Not much to it but every time I lose I want to jump right back in and try again.

The developer hasn’t updated it in awhile, which doesn’t affect gameplay. I just wish he would expand the game somehow and add new options, features and difficulty levels.

### 5/5 — One of the best games on mobile

*2021-04-22, version 1.2.8*

I love this game. I love it so much I had to find my old phone and charge it just to remember what it was called and download it again. The aesthetic is wicked and it’s just a fun, chill little game that makes you think. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Soothing and addictive

*2021-04-14, version 1.2.8*

I found this game looking for some kind of gardening resource app.  Since then I’ve been spending wayyy too much time playing it. It’s a really lovely puzzle game that’s challenging enough to want to keep playing because it’s not frustrating in that way that some games get. After playing for almost a week, I just now discovered the achievements and milestone menu...I’m so happy to have stumbled upon this app because it’s basically everything I ever wanted in a mobile device puzzle game app, from the sound effects to the graphics to the deceptive simplicity of its appearance. Thank you to the developer for creating this game :)

### 5/5 — Relaxing and addictive!

*2021-02-25, version 1.2.8*

A lot of people complain about the ads, but I think it’s very fair!  An ad for 3 plays, no limits!  I have 80 plays just from collecting them, plus you get 3 plays a day for free anyway!   I would’ve immediately paid for no ads, but $3.99 is a bit much!  Still, I respect this developer for the very fair business model. 
GAMEPLAY:  very addictive and challenging!  It’s so simple, but you need good strategy!  I’m pretty new to the game, so my high score is around 500. It’s hard, but SO relaxing and fun to play!  I rarely give 5 star reviews, but this one earns it in every way!  Highly recommended!!! 😍

### 5/5 — Super addictive, very relaxing

*2021-02-07, version 1.2.8*

Definitely one of my favorite games to waste a few hours on...I love that I’m not bombarded with ads; it’s more of an optional thing for extra plays. The only thing that would make this game better is if there was an update that added a few extra types of plants, and maybe another version with a wider grid to compensate for it :)

### 5/5 — Phenominal

*2020-08-27, version 1.2.8*

The most original game I've found in ages.

The theming is perfect.

The gameplay mechanics are perfect.

If you like infinitely generating puzzle games like solitaire or minesweeper this is for you

It's almost all strategy, the rng will get you sometimes but you're meant to strategize around it. It's really quite clever.

Pay for no ads; it's cheap, it supports the devs, and it's totally worth it

5/5
