### 5/5 — Perfect for waiting for your bus

*2026-06-03, version 2.4*

I played this while trying to kill time as I waited for my bus. Finished the game and my bus was here😂 Thank you for the game🫶🏻 I am so obsessed with your game collections!

### 5/5 — 10分で終わるし面白い

これに辿り着くぐらいなんだから君その英語力で十分だよ

**Developer response:** 5つ星をありがとうございます！

### 5/5 — good short wind

*2024-11-13, version 2.3*

surprisingly short, good spirit, good game
46/10

### 5/5 — Very sweet

*2024-08-27, version 2.3*

I’m a bird lover who enjoys these types of “letters in a box" puzzles. The game does only take 10 minutes to play through so just be aware that it’s a little experience and be happy with that. Lovely music.

### 4/5 — Little game for a little story

*2024-07-03, version 2.3*

It’s a cute game that could be compared to a children book. An enjoyable 15 M in nuts ;-)

### 5/5 — Cute!

*2024-05-12*

A very lovely idea, it was pretty hard for me as a non-native speaker. However doable with the hints!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars!
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — lovely

*2024-05-11, version 2.3*

like most bart bonte games this is a lovely game with beautiful graphics. the story of this one is especially good.

very quick to play, if you play in one go but for me that’s not a bad thing, so 5/5 all around.

### 3/5 — Decent but needs improvements

*2024-03-27, version 2.3*

I’ve played every bart bonte game there is, he’s an excellent developer making truly original games. However, this feels like a game that had a really good idea but didn’t receive enough attention. If I wasn’t familiar with word puzzles like this i reckon i would’ve struggled to know how to start. the clue of the ‘ies’ cut in half had an unintuitive answer that i only got by trying combinations of letters. This game from any other developer would be five stars, but from someone as creative as bart bonte, it’s only fairly fun, as opposed to very fun.

### 5/5 — love, love ,love

*2024-03-06, version 2.3*

I love this cute  little word game.... great graphics , catchy tune.  Please consider  making a another one like it.  😍😍

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2023-12-10, version 2.3*

Although it’s a short game, I love the art, the game design, and the poem🌳🦜
