What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about this Android app.
"The synopsis makes it sound like this is a zen self experiential growing and healing game. Rather, there are levels to beat, and the goal is to win. Big lose. Just another "clever" take on age old trite as heck game tropes."
"It keeps crashing on start and I cannot get it to work. At this point I can't even get a refund so I'm pretty pissed I wasted my money on a game that won't even open. Do not reccomend."

"I have LOVED this game but it is not loading now. I don't want to have to get rid of it. It's so relaxing. I would have given a 5 star rating, but I don't understand why all of a sudden it won't work. Please fix this app, I need it. Thank you."
"Looks easy but it is easy and hard and there is more than one right answer."
"Surprisingly fun, relaxing, and beautiful game. I was really sad when I finished the it. I wish there were more levels and/or chapters. That being said, this is one of those games that doesn't get old when you replay it, although it would be nice to have more challenging levels."
