disappointed. this is more of an animated children's story rather than a game. the graphics are pretty, the music is nice, but the story is very repetitive and simple. there's hardly any choices, no skills or thinking or even luck required. it shouldn't be advertised as a game. definitely wouldn't have paid £5 had I known that this is a kids story with hipster desigh rather than a game :-(

Lovely art and sound design, deeply disappointing implementation of the branched narrative gameplay. Each of the "different" endings is nearly identical; the dialogue in each IS identical, until the final ending, which only varies ~6 lines. You don't affect the world or other characters. The characters in the village are unchanging set dressing. And you only make ~3 choices each loop; the ending cinematic can take longer to play out than a game loop. Ultimately, every choice feels irrelevant.

Less a game and more of an interactive story, which is fine. It's a fun, charming little game. I have hit a glitch though, so I can't progress any further. A quick Google showed it is a common one on other consoles. I can't fix it on the phone so I can't play it any more 😒

A fabulous game for my 7 year old son and I to share time together. Beautiful graphics and great characters to play, combined with a brilliant story for me to read to him. Worth every penny and more.

Nice little story driven game. Simple controls. Simple graphics. Runs well on my phone and charming music. Worth the money fo sho.

This game is stunning on all levels. Very well made, and very compelling. It's definitely a must play, especially for Android gamers.
