This game was one of my favorites growing up, I remember the last time I saw it was in 2018 and installed it on my phone to play but never got around to it. Since then, I haven’t been able to play it properly. It’s been so nostalgic coming back to this game, I don’t understand why it was ever taken down but it was worth every penny to see it like it once was. Truly a magnificent, charming game.

The game is just the way I remembered it… with one exception. Everything in the shops are half the price they were in the original, which kind of takes some of the fun away from playing the game. Especially now that Monster Love’s back: I managed to complete all the quests on the very first island, and did one round of Monster love, and ended up with enough money to rebuild the next world and unlock the third. Unless there’s another twist in this game (I.e, another island) that can balance this out, it’s a little underwhelming to find out I can essentially unlock everything with a ton of excess clay.

My sister and I used to beg my mom to let us use her iPhone 4 back when this first came out so we could play. We played this game soooo much as kids. We talk about it all the time and about how sad we were when it was taken off of the App Store. I randomly checked today and it was back! I happily payed the $3 just to get my hands back on this amazing game.

Used to play this game constantly as a young child. When I heard it was coming back as an adult, I was so overjoyed I immediately pre-ordered. The gameplay is so smooth and the nostalgia is so high I genuinely shed a tear playing it again. Only difference is now I have the cognitive ability to be better at navigating the little pebble! Yay!
