Community Insight:
We love this game dearly. Got our brother and friends to get it. Although we have an issue with trying to purchase a Splash colored isopod and getting a failed transaction even though the purchase went through. So we didnt get the little friend. But its ok :). We love the little guys in our phone.
The game is really fun and if you like raising animals, this game is good for you.
This game is so fun and simple, we love that it reminds you to care for them a little while before the food or water is at 0%. We really dont think the app needs any more features but we would love to see many more colors added to the shop and maybe more resembling real species/morphs of isopods.
Good game rolly Polly superior, join us for the day of the rapture closes in. Only the pill bug may save us for our sins.
We LOVE Roly-Poly we want to be able to breed them to please.
We have a rolypoly named ziggy stardust and we love isopods!!! :D this game is so sillyyyyyy.
PLEASEE ADD BREEDING we WANT ALLLLL THE BUGSSSSS thabks we lub gam.
We really wanted to hate it we really tried to. Its lazy theres really no objective, its genuinely just a cash grab game. But its actually so fun. We want 1 million isopods, we double our P every time we open the app, we watch the video for rewards every hour, we name them after our friends and feed them cucumbers, we name them after our enemies and abuse them until they roll up, we love roly poly friends.
We love this game, we think our isopods might be obese, Im not sure what the hidden mechanics are in this game but we are dedicated to finding out.
This game is wonderful. Simple but good gameplay, the isopods are really cute and lovely. There are ads, but theyre bearable and not actively in your face.
LIL BUBBS AND ROBERT R HAVING A GREAT TIME.
We have 5 sons now, Lev, Jeb, Ferb, Man, and Mr. Wigwam. We love them with our whole heart. However, would be cool if the enclosure expanded a bit and if we could add some decor. Otherwise love this game.
We started playing this game a few days ago & im SOOO in love with all of our little isopod friends!!!! :] we dont mind that there isnt much to do as we love watching our little buddies crawl around to the funky background music!!! 10/10 app!!!!! :D.
Dont listen to moterbeans review. He dont understand. This game is so cool.
We love this game sm please add more, it gets very boring ;-;.
We became obsessed with this game as soon as we got involved in it, we love the goofy music and isopods are one of our favorite things on the planet, but there are a few things lacking in our opinion. We would love to be able to earn coins more quickly somehow, either by playing mini games or being able to watch more videos per day. It would also be extremely cool to be able to pan around the terrarium to see different areas, and maybe eventually customize the items inside the tank? But our main concern is obtaining coins. Overall a very cute and simple game thats well executed, but it could be so much MORE.
We like this game. However it would be very good if you added multiple terrariums with different scenery and maybe could choose the plant you put in different types of soil. Thank you.
We just wish there was more isopods and like maybe mini games. We want more content with our little isopods.
We love everything about this app its so cute and an instant mood boost but we just wish you could do more with the roly polies.
Love this game and the simplicity, but we would like an option where we can pay for more than 30 days of no ads.
We loveee getting to take care of the roly-poly pets, but aside from buying new ones there isnt much to do in this game. It would be cool if there were more ways to interact with your pets, like being able to play with them or having them go on quests like in Pikmin go. Overall, pretty adorable but thats about it.
Would love this if there was more to do and the ads werent so invasive. Id pay for permanent no ads if it were relatively cheap. $8 a month for no ads is insane. We wish there were minigames to earn coins too, and that there were more isopod variants that werent paid. Even some real ones would be cool, like lemon blues or king pandas. Just not for real money. Micro transactions are the death of mobile games.
Truly there is no point to this. You get one virtual isopod you feed and water once a week. And a literal week. Or you have to pay actual money. Just go outside and grab some isopods for free.
This is one of our favourite games on our device! We love stopping in to see how our little friends are doing. Its calming to watch them run around and interact. Thank you for this app.
This game is fun until its not once they finish telling you what to do you just have to look at it no activitys no playing with it you just have to look at if it needs food or water.
