I just wish they would add a cloud save or something like that. I hate that I am forced to start from the very beginning on every device I play on. I’ve already restarted over 10 times because my iPad and phone keep somehow deleting a bunch of apps that I use daily and unless I was getting a new phone or iPad I would NEVER delete them. Other than having no way to sync my save data between devices the game is amazing! ### 3/5 — Stopped working *2021-11-25, version 0.8.2* I open the game and it is a black screen after the “Game by Harha Studio” disappears. ### 3/5 — Wait time is far too long *2020-08-05, version 0.3.6* I think the game itself is a good idea as an “idle” game. However having to wait 33 days for my next plant is totally ridiculous!!! Over a month !!!!!! ### 4/5 — Unicorn problem *2020-07-18, version 0.3.5* There’s not a big problem but the unicorn is shown as a horse with a horn and wings. A unicorn is a horse with a horn. An alicorn is a horse with a horn and wings. A Pegasus is a horse with wings. I hope you will change it from a alicorn to a unicorn. GOOD things smooth graphics and gameplay. YOU CAN GET A DRAGON and a OWL. There is no chat but there is a notebook that’s essentially a chat room. THINGS TO CHANGE the unicorn thing above and it should tell you how much more gold you need for the castle dragon owl. if you change the uni corn thing I will give you 5 stars ### 3/5 — Owl problems? *2020-05-12, version 0.3.0* I’ve been playing this game for a while and after getting my owl and completing maybe 4 to 5 missions brought by the owl in the mail, I haven’t received any. This game is quite boring other than that aspect. Since the game does well for an idle game I give it 3 stars. Please let me know how I can get the owl to work again? ### 3/5 — No more letters? *2020-03-24, version 0.2.6* Why have I not received letters in 3 days to do extra tasks? I like receiving extra tasks so my manna builds. ### 2/5 — Not happy *2020-03-13, version 0.2.5* I would have given more stars but I was playing the game went out come home and went to open it and it keeps shutting down on me I have tried everything love the game ### 3/5 — Only Online Playable *2020-03-13, version 0.2.5* It stops when you go offline and reset if you close the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2020-01-19, version 0.2.1* So far I’m in love with this game. I have played a game similar to this before. However, to me, what sets this game apart is not only the graphics but the goals and how fast you can level up and have another plant. It’s not like the other game that I have played. There’s also more to the game than meets the eye. I just downloaded the game not too long ago and I can’t wait to see what else this Library holds. Over all great graphics and game. Already waiting for another game to come out that they suggested in the lower right corner. Will be checking more games out by this company. So far there’s no downfalls or problems that I am having. If I do I will let you know. :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unacceptable *2021-07-04, version 0.7.5* I’d be more willing to review the game better if I hadn’t been railroaded. No matter how many times this updates, or how many times I sell off my plants, or how many runes it says I’m getting for my plants I can’t get above 115 B runes. It refuses to give me more than that at any one time unless I buy runes. When you have goals in your game that are 800 B runes but it’s locked behind a pay wall it’s absolutely unacceptable. I’ll not be shaken down for my every last penny just to make progress in this game. ### 1/5 — Great idea, but poor execution on some parts *2020-08-19, version 0.4.0* The only way to move forward in this game is an impossible grind or purchase items. It has a fun first 4-5 days, but after that it is nearly impossible to improve without purchases. Specifically, rune and gold collection is the problem. Runes help improve the garden, and there are rune bonuses that help in the purchase of improvements, but bonus runes do not stay with garden resets. Not sure it that is a bug or intended, but makes the game extremely slow after getting plant 9 from the dragon and the only improvement left is the castle. TLDR: Not a free to play game if you actually want to move through the game due to either resource bug or intended play to win dynamic. ### 1/5 — BUG *2020-05-31, version 0.3.0* I found a bug in your game 😀😀 ### 1/5 — Broken *2020-05-04, version 0.2.9* This game is beyond broken. To start, I put a lot of time into this game. Months down the road, it completely broke and couldn’t connect to the server. Lost everything. Months of playing down the drain. On top of all that, the months I played were hell. The idle aspect doesn’t even work. If you leave the game without closing the app, you can come back an hour later and be in the same spot you left it in. You have to make sure you fully close the game to receive any offline currency, and even when you do, it doesn’t give you what it should. You can have 2 hours worth of time and only get 1 minute worth of mana. Also if you’re waiting on a dragon to find plants, make sure you close out of the game when you’re not playing because the time stops if you don’t. I had 10 hours left on a plant. Went back 10 hours later and still had 10 hours left because I didn’t close it. It is fun at first, then you realize that it’s literally the same every time you restart. You don’t generate more mana. Or at least you won’t for months. You’ll make the same amount every time you restart and gain nothing but around 10k coins that you can’t even spend because there’s really nothing to spend them on and everything you can spend them on becomes obsolete very fast. There is way more wrong with the game, but that should be enough. ### 1/5 — 1 star =D *2020-03-24, version 0.2.6* Just to be the first to give a single star. Now I will install the game and try it !! Haha =D ### 1/5 — The game isn’t bad but.... *2020-01-31, version 0.2.1* I like the game. Really. It has big potential. I’ve only been playing for 10 minutes. But there are two issues, one bigger than the other. 1. I can’t see a button in which I can report a problem. 2. So when I grow a new plant, it says it costs one price like 100 mana, but then I click it and then 10k mana suddenly disappears. I have video evidence of this but like I said before, I have no idea where or how to report this problem. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2020-12-13, version 0.5.4* Full moon and blood moon not working right when watching the adds for each. Same with daily double, its not working either. You watch the add, and nothing happens. You have to watch it again, so I give up. Going to fix this? ### 2/5 — Love the game, please fix it *2020-09-02, version 0.4.0* I really love the premise of this game and I was very into it. Then came the day it “could not connect to the internet” . I made the awful mistake of uninstalling it and now I not only can’t play it because it won’t connect to the internet- I have lost all my progress AND still can’t connect to the internet so I can’t advance at all. Please fix this! ### 2/5 — Not loading *2020-07-10, version 0.3.2* I I’ve this game. It’s very relaxing but since the new update it hasn’t allowed me to load the game. The screen is black and then disappears. Please fix this. ### 2/5 — Was ok *2020-04-03, version 0.2.8* It was on ok game for when you’re really bored but now it’s utter trash since they removed the ‘heal animals’ bit.... also, if you try and contact the developers, the email bounces back. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cute idle game *2025-12-15, version 1.1.2* I play a lot of idle games, this is one of the most satisfying. Nice side quests and balanced well. ### 5/5 — Meh. *2024-04-15, version 1.0.2* I ended up deleting it. The potion orders and quests don’t replenish, so it’s just the same boring grind over and over. 100k to get a castle to progress is a time sink. It’s not fun enough for me to treat it like an AFK game and the graphics aren’t great. Overall great idea. Not the best execution, but keeping it five stars to support indie devs. Will check back sometime in the future to see if it’s improved. ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2021-06-02, version 0.7.4* I just got this game and I actually am really loving it. The art style alone is AMAZING! I would suggest to the creator, maybe you could add in a cool mechanic where instead of just tapping over and over, you could swipe over the plants? ### 5/5 — Hoping for more plants! *2021-04-11, version 0.6.5* Love the game. Amazing music and graphics! Hoping for more plants, particularly in the castle. Earning or buying new plants keeps the game fresh and interesting. Hope you’ll keep adding more! ### 5/5 — Decent plant idle game *2021-01-01, version 0.5.4* Neat and pretty ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-12-22, version 0.5.4* Cool, relaxing game with nice graphics. Glad I finally got the mute button. ### 5/5 — 𝚈 𝚎 𝚜 *2020-05-25, version 0.3.0* 𝙸 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚒𝚝 𝚊𝚕𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚢 ### 5/5 — Great idle game *2020-03-15, version 0.2.5* Has beautiful graphics and has a refreshing pace, can’t wait to see what unfolds. ### 5/5 — Calming *2020-03-09* Nice way to relax and wind down ### 5/5 — I’m loving this *2020-02-02, version 0.2.1* I like this game a lot , I’d love if you would add customization , like make an add on or even another game where you can build your own hogwarts ! Otherwise this is fun and it takes up the down time I have :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
