### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-06-04*

Great story.

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2023-06-01, version 1.0*

Super fun to play and loved the story

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-04-04, version 1.0*

I love this game awesome puzzles, cute background and scenery. Love playing it.

### 5/5 — Very enjoyable

*2023-02-08, version 1.0*

Great game! It was longer than I expected. Just when I thought it was ending the paid version starts which is really reasonably priced for the length I think. Just a few bucks. Good story line and everything worked perfectly for me. I did get stuck on a few puzzles and had to use the hint system. My only complaint would be that I wish the hint system was a little more in depth. Like first give me a vague idea of how to solve the puzzles and not just give me the solution right off.  But that was just a minor thing overall very enjoyable and I recommend giving it a try.

### 5/5 — Very good game!

*2023-01-14, version 1.0*

To any potential players of this game, it’s well worth the 3 bucks for the full thing, and even the light free version is a worthwhile game on its own.
 
To the developers, I have a couple nitpicks that you might want to keep in mind for future games:

-Most of the voice acting, especially Ygg’s, was very stilted and awkward. (The lizard dad did great.) It seemed very much like the VAs were given the lines but weren’t familiar with the context in the game that they’re in. Please, make the full game with the dialogue written out, have your actors play the game and record the vocals as they go. This will give them much more to work with, and is significantly easier than trying to tell tone and context to an actor who isn’t familiar with the core material.

-While the artwork is gorgeous, I noticed a difficulty with integrating the interactable items with the background, mainly, that there wasn’t any visual cues to guide the player to not pressing everything in the background. I imagine this limits Oana too, because it makes every bit of personality and ambiance you add a risk, making beauty and playability opposed to each other. There are a few ways to get around that, you can add an icon as I believe Fran Bow and Broken Age have that when selected makes the interactable items flash or display an image, or you can try to make the design of interactable objects stand out, with thicker lines or sharper quality or something like that. 

-Allow for some way to bypass the games that require precision and agility (such as the ball and cans game). This kind of game - point and click adventures - really appeals to people who enjoy puzzles but don’t enjoy the precision and agility type of gameplay, people with shaky hands (like me) and having that kind of game required to proceed in the story might drive some off. No need to just add a skip button or make it super easy, but having an alternative way around the problem that is more accessible to the less dexterous would be good. Maybe have the option to choose if you want to play the ball n can game or the rat has another game that is more puzzley, but you can only play one. Idk, that’s just off the top of my head. 

Overall, this is a very good game! Let me know if you guys need anyone else on your team, as you might be able to tell by my writing this long review, I’m very passionate about this genre and would love to work in it myself.

### 5/5 — Great game!!!

*2022-12-15, version 1.0*

The puzzles are challenging and I enjoyed it! Great job! Would love to play the sequel.

### 5/5 — My New Favorite

*2022-11-30, version 1.0*

I really like this game and hope the developers put out more like it. Comes very close to Imaginarium which had been my favorite. Used the walkthrough a few times but overall this is a great game. Please make more.

### 4/5 — Nice puzzles

*2022-11-26, version 1.0*

Thank you game Devs.  Lovely little game with lovely puzzles.  Just one gripe, the convos are a bit slow,  long winded, and repetitive after a while.  I know they help inform the game play so are needed, but I lost the enthusiasm to keep going. 

Will try again when I have some free time, many thanks for a lovely game.

### 1/5 — It’s a demo?

*2023-12-28, version 1.0*

This game would be better if it was upfront about being a free demo and not the actual full game. I’m tired of people doing this it’s a waste of my time and data.

### 3/5 — full version won’t work

*2024-09-11, version 1.0*

I love this game, I’ve been playing it for over an hour and can’t stop. The only issue is it tells you to buy the full version but when I try to click on it to buy it nothing happens, it won’t let me buy the full version

### 3/5 — Purchase option not functioning

*2024-06-25, version 1.0*

I loved playing the free part of this game and was happy to purchase the full version. Unfortunately the purchase link doesn’t work. So I’m unable to continue playing. I hope this gets resolved soon.

### 3/5 — Needs Some Work

*2024-04-06, version 1.0*

Looks like it could be fun, but the dialog from the characters that you meet (and yourself) that you cannot avoid is something of AI nightmares.  Just unsettling and annoying.  A poor voice actor doing all of them would be better, I assure you.

Also, the tutorial (although short) is annoying and should be made to be skippable.  These types of games have been around a long time and if you can't figure out a basic point-and-click puzzle game, you're not going to be able to figure out the actual puzzles either.  Many similar games just ask if you want the tutorial or to turn it of from the start.

### 3/5 — Great game to begin with

*2022-11-25, version 1.0*

The free part is quite nice to play so I bought the full game, after that the puzzles were very odd and I had no idea of how to complete them without using the hints which seemed a little pointless. So I requested a refund sadly. 

Good potential, but the puzzles weren’t fun.

### 4/5 — Love this adorable game!

*2024-08-21, version 1.0*

As with others, the purchase option is not functioning.  Same with their other game, Larry the Unlucky.  I would gladly pay for both.  They are well drawn and endearing.  Puzzles are great - not too difficult but not too easy either.  
Help with the purchase function!

### 4/5 — Can’t purchase the full game

*2024-07-20, version 1.0*

When I click on purchase full game nothing happens. I loved the first part and would love to continue! Help :)

### 4/5 — Can’t purchase full version?

*2024-06-23*

The light version is really sweet but when I try purchase the whole game the button doesn’t do anything? The game doesn’t freeze or anything the purchase button just doesn’t seem to work. I tried restarting the game and my phone but it didn’t help. Anyone else have this issue?

### 4/5 — Cute, but dialogue sounds like AI

*2023-06-01, version 1.0*

The game was cute and fun. Not all of it is intuitive so I definitely needed the hints a few times. I'm not sure if they used real actors but the dialogue is tedious to listen to. It definitely sounds robotic and not very organic which is a shame for such a cute looking game.

### 4/5 — Nice

*2023-03-25, version 1.0*

Very sweet, but a little too cutesy for me. A little slow paced too. However, I only played the trial version and I’m sure there is a lot more fun around the corner!

### 5/5 — Cute and compelling!

*2025-06-14, version 1.0*

I had to use the hints a few times and at least once or twice, even the solution had me scratching my head. Regardless, I enjoyed the puzzles as well as the story. It went a different direction than I expected, but it was still sweet. I’d totally play if there was a sequel!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-03-03, version 1.0*

Cute game. Had to turn the annoying voices off, and the translations were not great, but the story was fun. I feel sorry for the little guy. That rat king represents every technocrat who is controlling the world right now. I hope there are more of these in the future.

### 5/5 — Nessa

*2023-11-27, version 1.0*

I loved playing this game and can’t wait tell the next one comes out

### 5/5 — Totally awesome

*2023-09-07, version 1.0*

Hooked on this one right from the start, and loved it right through.

The free part is extremely generous and worth a go alone, but also more than enough for you to decide if you want to spend less than a trendy coffee to get the whole game.

Loads and loads of different puzzles and a hint system to allow you to continue if you get stuck.

Gutted it has finished tbh, really loved this one

👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️😎

### 5/5 — Very cute!

*2023-09-04, version 1.0*

I especially enjoyed the voice overs.

### 5/5 — ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

*2023-08-21, version 1.0*

veryyy creative and enjoyable

### 5/5 — Great puzzle game

*2023-08-20, version 1.0*

I love puzzle games. This is pretty decent for its price point. A nice way to spend a couple of afternoons of non-strenuous play.

### 5/5 — Refreshing!

*2023-08-05, version 1.0*

The voiceovers were a bit odd but everything else about the game was enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend to any one that enjoys casual gaming and point-and-click puzzle games.

### 5/5 — Cute Game

*2023-07-08, version 1.0*

This was a really cute game. Most of the puzzles made sense. The hints were very detailed and I needed to use them a couple of times. The dialogue was a bit disjointed, but that does not really bother. Overall, I enjoyed the game and hope they make more like this.

### 5/5 — Adorable!!

*2023-06-04, version 1.0*

I’m so glad I came across this game, and the rest of this teams games, because their apps are so cute and definitely worth playing/paying lol
