Community Insight:
We love this game so much. Ive been playing it since we were 10. We cant wait for the glitch to be fixed so that we can play it. We have soooo much little nightmares merchandise. Little nightmares is our favorite game ever! We would totally recommend it. Id rate it 100 out of 100 if we could. We hope you put little nightmares II on mobile soon. Warm regards, Pretty Kitty 27.
Little nightmares is the best game ever made we give it 10/10 but we have some issues our game keeps crashing eveytime we die and when pressed. Continue please fix this issue.
We love this game, we played it before on PS4, but its crashing all the time here! Please fix this crashing issue.
Since our original journey into the Maw back in 2019, we never had a more suspenseful, and perfect experience. This game is creepy, but also intriguing. The story is one of the most convoluted yet compelling stories to ever be written within an atmospheric horror game. One could consider this the pinnacle of Bandai. Instead of horrors usual tactic with gore and jump-scares, little nightmares takes the idea of fear and brings it to life in ways that cant be pinned down. Its a game that makes you uncertain, and uncomfortable in all the right ways. A game that is worth re playing just to feel scared again. 10/10.
Its fun but the game crashes a lot and on fri nov 7 our game restarted and we were sooooo mad but also can you put little nightmares 2 and 3 on mobile? – BeckhamKirk.
We love the game a lot the janitor chefs guests and stuff but the game crashes all the time and we can't take it anymore and we know you guys are working on it so when do you think the crash is gonna be fixed is November already so yea.
Im probably wondering if theres gonna be a little nightmares 2 mobile game.
We need the second, we like it, but sometimes this one crashed , fixed that for the iOS 26.
We ammmm loving this and Im a huge fan of little nightmaresBUT, we get kicked out sometimes but its random and sometimes it doesnt load like its supposed to!:/ still works though!!:).
We cant even open the game it crashes everytime on iPhone 12.
We love little nightmares but the problem is it keeps kicking us out idk why but either way we still love it.can you fix that please cus its keep kicking us out may you do that please for our sake. Thanks.
We love little nightmares and its great that its now on mobile but we kept getting kicked out whenever we died or when we were loading in.
We like it, it looks like a good game cant wait to play it.
We love this game we like have the 2 one on our Xbox and Im pre ordering the 3 right now. But this game keeps crashing. Whenever we die it crashes, whenever we go to a new area it crashes, and right when we teared that guys arms off it crashed. We cant take it anymore . But if you can get past the crashing and the lags its a really good game 10/10. We love Little Nightmares, making a cosplay rn actually.
Love the game, played through it twice on gaming consoles, would love to be able to play it on iOS with controller so pleaaaaase add controller support.
Every few times when we lose the Game, IT CRASHES!! If its a Bug, Please Fix This.
Very good game Im wanting to beat all of the games but for some reason when we play on mobile it just crashes when we have the 16 pro max and no overheating our game crashes when we die sometimes or when we enter a new stage or when we start the game but if you guys could fix this would be amazing recommend the game.
For some reason when we were 6-7 we loved this game we thought we would never find it.
This game is an amazing mobile port.
This is one of the best games Ive played in a long time.
We just started playing this game and it haves crashes im honestly so obsessed with this game and id like to continue playing it without it crashing :(.
This game is amazing but it is stucked in a level that the game keeps crashing please fix it.
Every time we try to play it lets us for a few minutes after those few minutes it crashes and gets out the app and then we try again but its the same issue please fix the problem.
This game is great we have both games on our Xbox but the only problem is that on the second chapter at the beginning it keeps crashing we hope you can fix this soon but Im glad its not just us.
Keeps crashing and doesnt let us play anymore we deleted it and redownloaded and its still closing the app.
We were normally playing on the game it randomly kick us out so! Many times throughout the whole game really hard to just play.
The game is awesome and graphics were good, the controls were a little difficult to get used to. But The main problem is the frequent crashes and the lack of optimization of the port of this game. We used an iphone 13 pro.
This game is near & dear to our heart. We absolutely love it and this is our first time playing it on mobile. Our only complaint is that we cant get past the level with the shoe pit. 1. Just because its difficult for us, thats a skill issue, not the games fault. But 2. The game crashes every time we die. Ive had no problems at all with the game until we got to this level. Please devs, fix this crashing problem. It makes us not even want to play the game. Having to reload the whole app every single time is so exhausting.
We love the game so far but something happens when im at the janitors area and every time we get caught the game crashes even on the lowest graphics. Please fix this ASAP! But overall we love this game and even played every pc title. Keep up the great work with this game :).
This game has amazing graphic art elements this game is not easy for beginners but theyre quite a lot of bugs and controls were a little bit weird but ok.
It erased all the data after we beat the prison.
We love this game we played it on Xbox and fell in love with it. Thank you for making it mobile. To follow this up we do believe that it is missing one thing, Secrets of the Maw DLC. Maybe in the future you could add it and would be a fine addition to the game. It keeps crashing so even though we love it, we cant give it more than 4 stars.
We loved playing this game and Im so happy you guys made it accessible for the phone! Our only issue is it crashed quite a few times. But we were able to complete the game! Would love to see little nightmares 2 on here as well.
Love the game and we were so excited to see that little nightmares is on mobile, however, the game keeps crashing whenever we die, or whenever we enter a new area.
Love this game. Keeps crashing even after a reinstall. Hopefully its fixed soon.
We love this game a lot. We even downloaded it on our ipad after finishing it on our phone. But the crashes after completing a chapter or dying is starting to irritate us. Especially with the way the checkpoint system is set up here. Thankfully it didnt crash as much on our first play through bc the rating wouldve been much lower despite our love for this game. Pls fix that. Also, not a fan that the DLC isnt available on mobile after we paid money for this game. We guess bc of the flashlight aim mechanics?? Im already giving grace for the crashes mid gameplay and customer service never answering our complaint about our achievements not unlocking after finishing last 2 chapters.
DLCDLCDLC plsand the game always breaking down when reloading or loading new sceneit really annoys us.
Imagine Limbo, only in a slightly 3 Dimensional Sidescroll. Its a neat game, but it crashes a lot. Unfortunately how and where it crashes seems to be hit or miss for saved progress, as such we had to replay running up three flights of stairs multiple times just to get to some other unknown save point, only to have it crash again. It is beginning to remind us of PoP: Warrior Within in that regard! Otherwise, its an interesting game. We hope the crashing can be addressed and maybe the controls be a bit more polished. Also the gameplay is a bit vague, as is the plot. Limbo gave you a little bit, but this gives you a bit less.
Downloaded this game was about halfway through and just like the many reviews, the game crashes, when you die it crashes or when you load a new game, it starts over again crashes and you have to log back in again. If they would fix that problem, then it would be great. Im using iOS, but maybe it wasnt designed for it.
Good game aside from crash that are on going. We are am to continue where we need to but shortly after it starts to crash . Even when it ask for rating the game it decided to crash when we hit later. Please fix them.
We LOVE little nightmares but the amount of times it crashes on mobile is terrible we cant even get into actually playing the game without it crashing Ive tried refreshing it,other than that this games story is great and it looks good overall.
We downloaded the game and its a nice game but there are just so many glitches and our phone just logged off the app and we were just wondering if you guys can fix it, please.
This game is an amazing idea to put on mobile. But it has its issues. Im playing on medium graphics and 60 frames and every single time we die our game crashes. And when we try to load back it the game crashes. So we have to change our graphics settings just to get into the game to just to change them back. And when we finish a chapter the game crashes. Then we have to choose that chapter through chapter select. Please fix the crashes, it would be a 5 star game if it didnt crash all the time.
The games are very wonderful, but there is a problem when you lose a stage, the device exits the menu. Are there any solutions.
The game is great we love it and the graphics are amazing challenging but also intriguing, however the game does crash at certain points. We would hope that this gets fixed especially because we have to pay for the game. Overall great game though.
We love playing this game but its not letting us get to the next level the app takes us out and can you guys please fix it because we payed for it and we want to keep playing the game.
We love the game and works well on the mobile but it crashes and kicks us out so often it makes it hard to play.
Love the game play but we seem to keep crashing randomly while playing. Had a good week of playing now it keeps crashing. Please fix.
