The art the gameplay. I just wish it wasn’t as expensive, if it wasn’t a mobile game (which I know it’s on steam) but on mobile it’s a bit expensive. I doubt it’s gonna get any cheaper. But I would highly recommend people trying it and possibly buying it. Honestly probably one of the better games on mobile.. hands down. ### 4/5 — A few issues *2026-10-13* Coding is pretty sloppy. Quite a few UI elements don’t work the way they’re supposed to. Gameplay is also pretty simplistic, it’s basically just the chisel mini game and the cleaning minigame on repeat. ### 3/5 — Needs work but fun concept *2026-10-10* My biggest issue right now is the physics acting up. It’s really cool to be able to display things but every other time I open the game stuff is clipped through a shelf or is upside down or something else where I have to reset them. And when trying to attach trinkets I feel like a stroke patient flailing around until I find the one spot on the screen where it will connect ### 3/5 — Сделай бесплатное приложение) *2026-10-10* Вообще игра супер! Но дальше платить нужно( Хотела бы бесплатно поиграть) ### 3/5 — Buggy *2026-10-09, version 1.4.5* I actually really like this game but regret buying it due to having so many issues. My biggest issue is the inability to upgrade my chisel on day 77. I’m about to quit the game because it sucks having fully upgraded my upcycler and sponge but the ability to upgrade the chisel just isn’t there. Some items only get to 85 or 87 percent clean and it doesn’t show any more dirt and I have to put it in the overnight clean bucket or it just doesn’t clean. The game has occasionally frozen and I have to close the app and reopen it and lose progress. Another issue I’ve had is sometimes upcycling won’t cooperate and I’ve had to close the app and reopen it then it works. I really love this game but the chisel is awful without upgrading so unfortunately I’ve lost patience with it. ### 4/5 — Love it just one thing *2026-10-09* I’m really enjoying this game I just hate that you have to pay to keep playing. Will it ever be fully free on mobile? ### 4/5 — Game Report *2026-10-09* So to start in one of the comments it said they couldn't clean the first object, I was also confused. I could tell it had to be rotated and was only at 50% clean but couldn't figure out how to rotate it or deselect the sponge. I have a little more common sense I supposed and went to the game guide and it told me how but I would include it in the tutorial for the folks who couldn't figure that out. I did really like the game but I just won't pay for it, I don't like spending money on mobile games but I did enjoy that you could play a demo before buying. Overall a good game. I also think if you could see the decorating process in the demo just a bit people might be more inclined to buy. A cool game overall, if it was on Xbox gamepass I'd play it everyday so look into that if possible. ### 4/5 — Won’t even launch *2026-10-05* Just downloaded it and it claims I don’t have internet - so it won’t even launch. I was hoping to play on iPad since it crashes constantly on Switch 2. ### 3/5 — Not for me *2026-10-05* The game seems like it could have its own audience but the character design and dialog isn’t for me. The game offers dialog choices but they’re both saying the same exact thing in slightly different ways, the first character you see made me feel uncomfortable he looked super weird and clunky and I did not like him. As I stated this is all personal things for me but I can see how the game would be enjoyable for some people and if it looks like something you’d enjoy I’d say give it a shot. I did it just wasn’t my thing. ### 3/5 — Fun, but … *2026-09-24* I liked the game and found it rather fun, and would like to continue but there is no way I’m paying $13 to get the full game. Unfortunately, I will be deleting it now. ### 2/5 — Cant even enter *2026-09-23* Keep saying i need wifi but i do have it ? **Developer response:** Please update to the last version and let us know if the issue is still present. ### 3/5 — Crashes *2026-09-22* This game has me hooked, but it crashes often. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. Could you please update to the last version and let is know if the issue still present. ### 3/5 — Review *2026-09-22, version 1.4.1* Fun but it should be free ### 4/5 — Cool idea, needs tuning *2026-09-22* Tutorial needs to be shorter, demo needs to be longer, price needs to be lower. On the right track though, keep it up dev! ### 4/5 — Parfait pour téléphone *2026-09-21* Un petit jeu très chill, qui m’avait fait de l’œil sur PC. Je suis ravie de le retrouver sur téléphone. En plus on peut jouer pas longtemps donc parfait si on doit couper vite. Petit bémol, je n’ai pas le bouton expansion qui apparaît pour améliorer mes outils. Pouvez-vous voir ? Mais bravo d’avoir transféré le jeu sur mobile. Superbe idée ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lies!! *2026-10-11* This game should be removed just for lying about being free. The only thing free is the first few rounds as a demo. Then it wants $9 to continue. It wasn’t even fun in the free part I’m for sure not paying almost $10 for garbage. **Developer response:** Game advertised as Try Before You Buy on every text, screenshot, Apple promotion, inside the game, BUY banner and everywhere where it is possible. Please stop spreading the false information. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever in my life *2026-10-07, version 1.4.5* I don’t want to get hate but I just don’t like it because it crashes on me ever time I lode it like fix the game bruh ### 1/5 — I really wanted to keep playing *2026-10-03, version 1.4.4* Eta- I emailed with someone about my problem we went in circles, so I asked Apple to refund me, which it did. I was disappointed by the customer service I received. I may try the game again, but probably not. My interaction left me with a bad taste. Game started out great, but then progression just stopped. I googled and was advised to start over. I had already tried a new save, so I deleted the game, and reloaded. Now it won’t recognize that I’ve already paid 12.99$ for the whole game. I’m definitely not paying again, and I will contact Apple Support for a refund if this isn’t fixed. I’ll update my review if it is taken care of. ### 1/5 — Платная игра *2026-10-01* Поиграла 10 мин а потом просят купить всю игру ### 1/5 — Woke *2026-10-01* J’ai lu « iel », j’ai supprimé. **Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. L’utilisation de « iel » n’est pas une erreur de traduction : certains personnages du jeu sont volontairement écrits avec une identité ou des pronoms neutres. Cela fait partie de la manière dont ces personnages ont été conçus dans la version originale du jeu. Nous comprenons que ce choix puisse ne pas convenir à tous les joueurs, mais nous souhaitons rester fidèles aux personnages et à l’univers créés par les développeurs. ### 1/5 — $15? NO WAY *2026-09-23, version 1.4.2* There’s no way a phone game should carry this price tag. Apple needs to tighten up on this stuff. ### 1/5 — Not registering purchase *2026-09-22* I bought this game on the 21st of September 2026 and i enjoyed it, however i have tried to play the game on the 22nd and it has removed my purchase trying to get me to buy the game again and all my progress, which is extremely annoying and i won’t be starting from scratch. Very disappointing for me as this is a pretty good game let down by this. Please review this and assist or process a refund. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. There was a bug connected to it, please update to the last version and let us know if the issue is still present. ### 1/5 — Tutorial is Broke! *2026-09-21* The tutorial literally ask you to click on a sponge and then click on a trinket, but there’s a wall of text blocking the trinket from being selected. It’s like the game wasn’t even tested before they released it. **Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this! We haven’t been able to reproduce this issue on our side, so we’d really like to understand what’s happening on your device. If possible, could you send us a screenshot or short video showing the tutorial getting blocked, along with your device model and OS version? You can reach us via Discord or our support email. That would help us investigate the issue and figure out what’s going wrong. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Демо версия отзыва. *2026-09-20* Извините, но чтобы получить полный отзыв в 5 звёзд, вам нужно заплатить. **Developer response:** Понимаем, что модель с бесплатной демо-версией и последующей покупкой полной игры подходит не всем. Мы специально сделали начало игры бесплатным, чтобы можно было попробовать её перед покупкой и решить, стоит ли полная версия своих денег. Если вам понравилась сама игра, но именно цена или объём бесплатной части показались неподходящими, будем рады узнать подробнее. Такой отзыв действительно помогает нам лучше понимать ожидания игроков. ### 1/5 — App payante *2026-09-20* vous jouez pendant 3j ( je parle de jour sur le jeu ) et vous devez payer 12€-15€ pour continuer a jouer. Mon humble avis ? faire payer des gens qui veulent jouer au jeu alors que le jeu n'est même pas connu ce n'est pas comme ça que vous gagnerez de l'argent. **Developer response:** Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis. Nous comprenons que le prix puisse sembler élevé, surtout pour un jeu que vous découvrez pour la première fois. C’est justement pour cette raison que nous avons choisi un modèle d’essai gratuit : vous pouvez jouer au début du jeu sans payer, découvrir le concept et décider ensuite si la version complète vaut son prix pour vous, plutôt que de devoir l’acheter directement sur l’App Store. Si votre principal problème est plutôt le prix de la version complète ou la durée de la partie gratuite, nous serions vraiment intéressés de savoir lequel des deux vous a le plus déçu. Ce type de retour nous aide beaucoup à mieux comprendre les attentes des joueurs. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 개재밋음 구매직전 *2026-10-13* 컴터가 낫나 모바일이 낫나 고민중 ### 5/5 — Wow, just wow. *2026-10-10* This game is one of the best games I have ever played, and that’s saying something. My favorite part is upcycling. This game is awesome. If you are a person that likes to clean and create, then you gotta try this game! ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2026-10-10* Don’t know why but I absolutely love this game! It gives me a story but also tasks and is also relaxing and cozy! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-10-08* At first I thought the game was having issues but then I realized where you touch the screen and where it actually interacts once you learn to pay attention to the white dot that is basically your mouse clicker makes everything make sense I’ve almost beat the story and I can say confidently the only bug I’ve ever seen in this game was actually if you close while holding an item it duplicates other then that the so called bugs is just a learning curve to understand how the games physics work ### 5/5 — Empfehlenswertes Spiel *2026-10-07* Ich liebe dieses Spiel. Bin mittlerweile bei Tag 100 und ich bereue es 0, das Spiel gekauft zu haben. Absolute Empfehlung. ### 5/5 — Da best *2026-09-26* I loveeee this game, I just get frustrated when they ask in the game “no I want this and this” and I literally give them what they are asking 😭😭 ### 5/5 — Нищета *2026-09-26* Ну очень прикольная игра, правда деняг платить нету:( ### 5/5 — Cozy and fun game! *2026-09-23* Really loved how cozy and simple the gameplay loop is. You basically forage (thru chopping various blocks), clean, combine and then sell the items you get. With the gold you can upgrade your tools to be more efficient as well as decorating your shop. Really recommend for those who like cozy games ### 5/5 — 재밌음 *2026-09-20* 👍 ### 5/5 — Wish I had $12 to buy it! *2026-09-19* The tutorial gets you in the door GOOD and gives you a feel of this games unique mechanics. I was so upset to not get to help him get his stuff fixed by me lol. Amazing game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
