Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Such a cute little game! We really loved the story and the characters, the voice acting was also really well done. Great job on this, Id highly recommend it! Good for all ages for the most part, younger kids might need help. Our only negative is that theres not enough content! This game would benefit from an update that comes with a part two of the story as it is not very long. The epilogue was our favorite part.
Very relaxing game but when we got to the camera it asked for us to pay six dollars so we bought it. Let us tell you those six dollars was worth it, heavily suggest playing this game its calm and great for people who love puzzles or assembling things.
This is our new favorite app we love everything about it – the story makes it special, and is just right And fixing things is a lovely experience, with such great artwork, smooth, easy-going graphics.. We were worried maybe we wouldnt be able to figure out how it worked, but somehow, it all becomes possible Im glad to pay for the remaining chapters, with their vibe of kindness and hope.. We stumbled on this app at just the right time ~ happy, peaceful ~ hoping for more chapters as time goes by.
Ok Im gonna be very honest we already completed the demo and Im not gonna lie we really liked it and we would really love to pay for the full game but Im not gonna pay for it if it cost $6 we will pay for the full game, but only if it drops down to like $2.99 but other than that, the game is pretty cool but also kind of short.
We love this game so much, we wish a new update would launch :(.
Its a REALLY good story game, dont get us wrong. It was beautiful. But we want more than 14 repairs for what we spent on it.
Its so hard to find a decent appealing entertaining puzzle game and omg we love this one so so much! We bought the whole game because we were so addicted to the story, the play and the graphics. Its so beautifully made and playing on an ipad makes it even more enjoyable. We are begging you, developer, to PLEASE make more games of this style. We dont care if the story continues, if you find a new story line or if you just do the repairing part. This is the type of game u could pay for and play then come back a month later and still be just as excited as you were the first time! We cant wait to see more games from you.
This was a worthwhile purchase, and the game is a perfect casual experience. The music, art, writing, acting, and dialogue are all charming. The interface is simple but effective. The only complaint we have, is that it can be difficult to know when and where to use the glue on some of the repairs. One of the best mobile game purchases Ive made.
This has amazing functions and story to it. Sone people are annoyed that it costs money to complete the game. Im unbothered because thats whats keeping ads out of the app. Beautiful game, Would download if youre looking for something to do.
SECOND ASSEMBLE WITH CARE PLEASEEE THIS GAME IS SOOOOOOOO GOOD.
We love the game but we need to play the whole game and not pay for it (rated 5 star so you can see).
This game is fun and the story line is touching. Its a perfect blend of story telling and gameplay. Please make another episode. We want to know what happens next.
Its the cutest most amazing story and visuals. The details and the drawings, the 3d animations, the characters, the gameplay, the sounds, the voice acting its all so lovely! We can tell care was put into the game. People complaining about the paywall obviously havent played ,any indie games, this game is CHEAP! And so worth it, we would 100% play a sequel if it was this well made.
We loved it. The story was beautiful and the art was sensational. But please, please we need more of this game. Whether its in new chapters or a sequel maybe a prequel, we just need more.
Found this game and sent it to our tech husband, and our 4 year old played thru it all with minimal help and it was great learning! She can now assist in disassembling her toys to fix them! Wish there were more for her to do.
This game simultaneously scratches our desire to DIY, fix, or build while also being a beautiful and mellow game to relax to. Ive replayed several levels just for the fun of it, and we really hope they consider releasing more levels or a sequel game. Definitely worth the money.
We love this game we completed every single level. We would love a new update please and thank you.
The game was great and puzzling. We see people complaining about paying for the game but its worth it and we love the story.
First off, this game is amazing. We loved the story, the disassembly, the voice acting was great! But we feel it was too short to fully take advantage of the story, especially the cliffhanger it leaves off on. Hopefully the game turns into a series where she goes to different cities and fixes things, maybe with more chapters. Also, we feel like there should have been more than one epilogue letter- Maybe there could have been a messy letter from Izzy about her first repairs and how much fun shes having, or from the mayor about how much his relationship with Izzy has improved since she helped the two reconcile. Maybe a second game could have her coming home to her parents, picking up where it left off.
Overall, the game is lovely. Its premise is simple and it has a decently captivating story to go along with it, and nice music to boot. It controls pretty well and the voice acting is nice as well. It is pretty story focused though, not really something you can just pick up and put down whenever in our opinion. Its not really our type of thing but Id say its worth it if you enjoy the first few free levels.
This game was so well made, and the fact that this was assembly with a narrative made us love it even more!! We just wish it was a bit longer and we certainly hope we can get another game with carmens story, and more about the coffee shop.
Ive had a few games like this in the past and we havent looked for more since, our life was filled with priorities so we hardly had time on our phone, granted the time im writing this im 16 going on 17 but you would have to be close to us to know our present self.. Either way ive gotta say, this game has shocked us because its the first assembly game we played with a narrative! We love that about games and im glad to find this having that effect….AMAZING GAME.
Please add more chapters. We spent money thinking that it would last much longer, but we only got to play for a little bit. The game is very relaxing, but we need way more. 10 out of 10 though, but please add more.
We really liked this game. The only hookup we have is a similar complaint by other players; it is short. We hope they add more repair levels even if they dont come with storyboards and voice acting.
We loved every little bit of the game until we got to the part where you have to pay. The story, the characters, the overall vibe of the game: PHENOMENAL !! We would love if this game had a sequel but we really wish the whole story was free.
Stellar quality and we totally recommend this game for a wholesome story and puzzles. Excellent development! We expect this quality from the game studio in future games.
We feel as if this is up there with some of the puzzle games Ive played (that list including the whole The Room series) as well as some of the story games Ive played. Ive enjoyed it to its fullest in a couple of hours with a bit of breaks in between. We would love to see more of these characters or maybe a mode of just fixing and repairing random objects without the story. Either way, great game and Ill keep a look out for whatever you make next. Better latte then never! – Tucker.
We havent finished it yet, but so far we love it.
Love it such a good story and good mechanics.
This game is awesome. Its just too short.
Hey there! We really loved this game. It was short though. We liked the story and the art style. Hope to see more of this type of games from you guys. Great work.
11/10 would definitely recommend! Our one issue is the 5 minutes of free gameplay you get.
We love this game and assembling things!!! Please make more levels or a sequel.
This is one of our favorite mobile games. The story is interesting and engaging but the true draw for us is the interesting way that they have gamified the disassembly/assembly process of repairing modern electronics. Our only gripe is that the game is far too short, however we suspect that each repair session takes a lot of work to lay out and render. Im looking forward to the day that a potential sequel will be made. Thank you so much for creating.
We absolutely love this game but please make more levels for the game and add different characters and maybe even add like a free play option to like you are able to fix/assemble random things too please do though peace and love Hunter.
Not a lot of people have 5 dollars, maybe make it like 2-3 dollars or less. We will say that this game is relaxing to play. PLEASE MAKE MORE LEVELS.
We genuinely love this game. Its soothing and peaceful. The only take away we have is that the game is really short, it only has 14 short chapters.
Dudebros the game is fine; if you didnt want to pay for it then you dont pay for the rest. The game is a demo by default; would you rather the game be littered with ads and be specially tailored to keep your interest for hours at a time, or do you want to have fun.
We love this little game, you do have to pay 6$ for it but tbh thats not a lot of money, we think this game is adorable and has a cute style and it is interactive and we honestly hope they make more games like this one, that would be something Id love to see in the future <3 best wishes.
Its rare finding games like these, the overall gameplay, the subtle ambiences, and the soundtrack, Its as if you were actually there. Im so in love with this game.
This is such a beautiful game: from the art to the voice actors to the mechanics, it was such a relaxing time going through it! We instantly fell in love with all of the characters (Carmen is our absolute favorite). Its so nice to see all of their relationships flow; it almost seems like Im actually theyre seeing them and seeing Bellariva in between fixing little gadgets. We also like that the puzzles arent super difficult or too easy. The only negative is that its too short. We hope that theres plans for another few chapters to come. Maybe of Maria going back to visit her parents, visiting any childhood friends on the way, or just another trip! We think the current game right now is worth the price. Im excited for more :).
As an avid phone gamer, we downloaded a whole slew of games to find a new favorite- weeding out the good from the sea of trash. This one initially caught our eye and we havent been able to put it down since. We actually turned our TV off and gave it our full attention. Unheard of. Great gameplay, immersive graphics and such a beautiful storyline, it might have actually made us tear up a bit. We usually dont like this style of game but these guys did it right. Fantastic UX/UI and incredibly intelligent engineering. You can tell that real effort and time was put into the creation of this game.
Awe-inspiring, quaint aesthetic, emotional story, spectacular art and graphic design. This is not just a game its a beautiful piece art that will always have a place in our heart. The sultry dialogue made you feel like you were there. The magnificent musical composition in the background, it really tugged at our heart strings. The characters were very well written. This is a must experience sincere story.
VERY VERY CUTE RELAXING GAME! We ourselves loves to fix things especially things with a loving important meaning so this game really hit home! Im definitely willing to pay the fee to unlock the full game we just wish the game its self was longer and more things to fix! Its a awesome game and we hope in the near future there will be more levels to play! Until then we dont mind playing the levels over again.
We absolutely love this game!! We've played it three times now and we love each story every time. It is quite short after you figure out how to do it, but overall it's a great game and it's very relaxing and fun. We were disappointed when we saw that there wasn't a sequel to this game, and we wanted to recommend making one. New stories, different town, different things to fix. Maybe Maria could go to her parents town and fix up some things there. Anyway, we would absolutely love it if you made a sequel to this game. Thank you for even making the first one!! We love it so much!! Thank you for taking time to read this, and we hope you'll consider our suggestion.
After a few chapters it makes you pay 6$ and after paying there is only 15 chapters and they go by very fast we do not recommend its a waste of money.
Lots of love and care placed into the game and you can tell. Art style is unique and game play is great and we appreciate the puzzle elements. This would make for a very awesome longer gameplay and storyline. But we know it's not easy, maybe a crowdfund or sponsor or bigger purchase? Love what you guys have going here :).
Our favorite game please never change or sell out.
Im a little bummed to see a 3.9 and some poor reviews from others. We genuinely enjoyed our time playing this game and loved seeing the quality of the story/art and ease of use with the controls. Everything felt very polished, there were no ads and we felt great while playing it. Really hoping for more like this, as we loved the mechanical gameplay more than expected. Thank you.
