Community Insight:
Love this game we used to play it when we were little, but it can be super glitchy at times, which Im gonna chalk up to this game being a bit older. Currently unable to breed any of our monsters or fight any minions cause theres a glitch where no options show up to choose between. Would love it if someone ever fixed this cause we want a Djin x.
We wish we could rename our creatures. Can you please make it so we can.
This game is sooooo fun but please fix the quest bug so we can move forward please.
Whats going on with quests? They are not updating as the should.
Ive loved this game for a while and picked it back up from the beginning for some nostalgia. Unfortunately it seems like some time around level 10 or 15, the quest list broke so that you only ever have three active quests at a time. This locks you out of game progress like unlocking desert magic. Currently the only quests we have available are impossible, requiring us to have breed desert or water magic creatures despite the quests to unlock those having disappeared, and therefore considered incomplete, despite uncovering the temples. Basically, the three quests you see outside the quest menu are the only quests the game considers to exist, and no other quests show up when opening the quest book. This only started happening for us some point after unlocking fire magic. Im willing to let some things slide since this is an older game and we do t expect frequent updates, but this is a pretty big issue that needs fixing, it totally breaks the game experience. We really hope they end up fixing it, because its a genuinely fun game until your progress gets stopped.
We love this game but it has some issues. We are unable to buy a desert or beach home despite exploring the ENTIRE second island (even the ziggurat and the seashell lighthouse). We guess its because the quest that allows it will not show up due to the screen only showing 3 quests at a time. Someone else mentioned having this experience so its a problem with the game itself. PLEASE FIX :(.
On iPad, quests only appear three at a time. So quests that we have technically completed like reaching area check points, arent marked as complete, so we cannot build habitats for that specific biome and we are soft blocked from moving forward with the game.
We discovered the ziggurat and got the cynic egg but it says we need to finish the quest deserted to get the desert. Am we glitched? It never popped up as completed when we opened up the ziggurat.
This game has been with us for around 6 years maybe longer and we love it so much. It is so unique and interactive we have been playing on and off for a very long time but yet we have never completed it. This is our first time writing a review. We just want to say thank you for making this game and we hope the developer keeps up the good work.
We just installed the game to an iPad to play on because we rarely ever play the game anymore on our iPod and all that. The games fantasy music and main screen pop up for a few seconds and then when the Game Center banner pops up saying "welcome back our name"…then the screen on our iPad goes to black and the game won't come on but the music is playing…what should we do to get the game working again for us to play?…or is it just outdated and not popular enough anymore for people to play…like should we just delete the app on our iPad or something.
We love this game!! Its so classic, we just wish theyd update it. Add more islands, new characters, etc! Ive started this game over 3 times just to keep playing.
Im level nine in the game and have a bunch of creatures, and even got to the bridge. It usually allows you to explore to the skull cavern unlocking volcano magic and the Phoenix. But, it says Complete Goal instead of unlock volcano. We even deleted the game and it just saved everything. How do we fix this.
We love this game we really do but every time we try to bread any creature it wont show them and its hard to summon then and we cant read anything when we check out anything.
Hi can the creators of the game make an update that can let us change the names of the creatures we have? Also the descriptions arent showing and the game is experiencing a few bugs. Itll be nice to see an update to fix all this.
Please dont give up on this game. We love it. We really wish you put in more effort, because you can make it so much cooler and more fun than it already is. Ive played this tiny castle since we were in elementary school. Im almost halfway through high school and we always play it because of how fun it is (and for the nostalgia). Its sad to see that the last update was from a year ago. Im begging you guys to not give up on tiny castle. Please.
This is our favorite game ever!!! We feel like it will serve you a purpose in life if you are younger and you play this game because you have to be able to know how much money things are and how to manage how much you are spending! We also like it because sometimes games like this do not make the characters very appropriate for younger kids and all of the characters are very good for younger kids. We LOVE this game SO much.
When we banish a minion is exits out of the game and the minion is still there.
We were obsessed with this game as a kid, so we wanted to relive the nostalgia and play it again, but not much has changed but more bugs. The only way to get rid of those monsters is to bribe them because even if you were successful in the banishing fight thing, it just crashes and kicks you out, and when you open it again, it doesnt save or reward you or anything. Its so disappointing because this game really fueled our love and curiosity for mythological and mystical creatures and we havent been able to find a game that utilizes them in this formula of a game.
We love this game so much because of its style of art and the way you play it, but this game has not updated in years and we feel like they should give gems out more freely.
The gameplay is overall very good, but we think it could be improved by adding a feature to rename the creatures you hatch.
We love the game and pretty much everything about this game except for the fact that removing anything bankrupts you it costs us a small fortune to move a tiny rock that is our only complaint the amount of money it costs to remove obstacles.
The game is great but the descriptions for the creatures and buildings wont show.
Suggestion 1 a wendigo , it could be a girl creature thats thin and has lots of fangs and deer antlers and wear a tattered Native American dress Suggestion 2 a change for the kitsune , change the clothes and give it more tails , its a Japanese creature so it should wear Japanese clothing 3: this is out there but …. Zodiac signs 4: character making please please please please please please please please please please please These are just suggestions Also the evil queen has big boobs and hips , why.
Hi! We love this game so much! We started playing this about 2 years ago and it was our favorite game. It has a great storyline and the game takes a long time to complete which we love. But we noticed that the last update for this game was 6 months ago. We do understand that not as many people play this game anymore because its an older game but we think it deserves a new update. Hope you see this! Thanks.
We loved this game since we started playing years ago. We just found it again and started over, however it will not allow us to connect to our Facebook and when every we banish someone it completely shuts down. Whats going on? We would like to continue to play but am unable.
We have had this game FOR YEARS! We go into it every now and again. Its adorable. Takes forever to store up enough food and dust though! But Im having the same issue others are seeing: the game crashes when we beat a minion. Would love to clear a few more out, but we cant. We wish the devs would come back and fix this one issue! Be nice if they added even more to the game too, but Id just like it to be working fully at this point.
We like playing this game but the game crashes whenever we beat an opponent and doesnt give us the rewards for beating them.
The game is fun but plz keep in mind, there is no longer app support. Ive emailed them a few times over the recent years and have had zero replies. Some of the temples require you to finish quests that dont seem to exist. Ive done all the quests that it has given us and Im level 34. Very close to 35. Ive got 31/31 habitats All our farms are very large Ive seemed to have maxed our castle size. Ive upgraded both banks, both dust storages, and both food storages. Ive got max slots for dream tower, and nursery. We have 6 Courage keeps. Ive cleared all the fog and have an over abundance of dust. And if anyone is wondering if we spent real money, we didnt spend a dime. Trick is, let your money storage cap. Then let your garden habitat cap. Tap it over and over and you get chests which contain money, food, and gems. This seems to be the only habitat that drops gems. We tap on our mountain habitat for chests when we want to get more food or money faster. The key is to keep your money capped so that you can continue to collect chests. Update: Jan/30/23 Semi recently Ive experienced a bug that others are experiencing. Try to banish a minion and it glitches and crashes the game. Well, there is no way to finish the game anyway. You cant get mythic phoenix because you cant get it past lev 10 because you cant buy a volcano temple. Same with beach and desert temples. The game was fun and popular we have no idea why the developers would just up and leave it. Tiny Monsters and Tiny Village were also very fun. We hope all this helps people be able to enjoy it for what it is.
We cant see what creatures Im selecting to breed. How am we suppose to combine the two.
We mean, we get that its an old game and stuff but the developer kinda abandoned it?? Like Ive been playing this game forever and its kinda frustrating that some bugs that effect the basics of the gameplay make it impossible to see what youre doing (plus some minor bugs that are just inconvenient at this point).
We love this game, but it still has some weird glitches. For some reason we cant see our monsters when fighting or breeding. It makes it very difficult to breed for certain monsters and complete quests. Basically makes them a guessing game. And when we go to get the magic dust, part of the images for the varying amounts of dust we can collect is cut off. If possible, please fix this. Thank you.
Defeat enemy then the get ejected from the game.
We redownloaded the game after a couple years away from it hoping it was the same as how we remembered but every time we go to battle a goblin and finish the fight it crashes.
We love this game and its nostalgic for us. Unfortunately, last time we played we got to the third island and the app glitched and deleted so many hours of play and progress and we had to start over. We recently redownloaded it and the app fails when we try to do several tasks like fight.
Its a fun game until you get so a certain level and the battles glitch the app and it shuts down there is no way to advance or move forward without the battles working. We wish this would update that glitch. Now we are going to delete it.
This game was fun, it just didnt work. We couldnt read the text for the description of things, and when we tried to summon things, nothing would show up. It doesnt feel like its finished and needs a lot of fixing, but when its done we think it will be a good game.
The majority of the time we open this app to play the game, there is some glitch when we want to pick 2 creatures to summon an egg, or selecting a creature to banish a minion. The area where our creatures to select from is blank so we cannot see the creatures we have available to do either of these things. Super frustrating because these are major parts of advancing in this game. Please is there a bug fix coming soon to fix this? Im sure Im not the only one encountering this issue. Once this is resolved this game gets 5 stars without a doubt.
This game needs to take a LOT of pointers from DragonVale, that game will give you lots of chances to earn gems and it at least updates itself, Ive had the same Cupid monster thingy since Ive downloaded Tiny Castle over a year ago, we never see any of the new monsters on the list, we have to look online and guess if they might be available. Its not a bad game other than that we guess.
Literally every time we try to kill one of the queens minions, the app crashes. We cant do anything.
Impossible to fight monsters without crashing. Requests to support go unanswered.
We love this game but can no longer make progress because every time we battle a monster the game crashes and gets rid of progress. Please please fix.
Has anyone ever hatched an imp without paying for it on this game or did they leave certain species out on purpose to try and get people to spend money on this like the greedy little suckers they are? The whole design is flawed. We really liked the game until all of a sudden it stopped displaying the menus so we cant select anything. Cant contact anyone to troubleshoot. Their twitter page has been inactive since 2018. Restarting the phone doesnt help. We paid money for it, too. What a waste.
This game desperately needs an update! Whenever we click on the creature encyclopedia the right side and lower half of the book is cutoff and many descriptions for buildings are cutoff. Also whenever we wake up a creature from the dream tower they dont physically appear in their habit and we have to move them to another habit for them to appear again. Whenever we use the magic well and farm the lower options are cutoff but the absolute worst part is that whenever we use the enchanted tree none of the creatures appear so whenever we try to breed a creature we have to take a shot in the dark because we have no clue which creatures Im selecting. This is really annoying and ruins our gaming experience. We used to play this game when it didnt have this many issues and we loved it so it saddens us to see the game now have this many problems. Please update the game so it can go back to its glory.
We literally never received any of our in app purchases but Apple and the app creator wont refund our money.
There is a quest to buy a pouch of jewels and get 850 free food but after purchasing it does not give you the gems or food. Even worse, it still charged our account.
There was a quest to buy a POUCH of jewels for $4.99 and we have purchased it more than 3 times with no jewels given but we were charged. Dont spend any money on this game. We want our money back.
Every time we click to play it pulls up the game then all we get is a black screen. We have to uninstall it and reinstall it to play each time.
We used to play this 3-4 yrs ago and it ran better! Now we cant see to pick a creature to banish a minion with so you cant do that, half the descriptions are missing when you click on an item (only shows left side of bubble other is blank) we would love to see these bugs fixed so we can play the game again.
We like this game. It has fun fantasy characters, nice scenery and game play is easy. Our only complaint is when asked to summon creatures or to banish creatures They wont display on the page, its blank. Its hard to select characters when you cant see them. Ive just been randomly tapping the blank pages in hopes of selecting a good character and go with what was selected; we didnt worry about it as its just a game. But, now, Im being asked to select certain particular characters and we cant because they wont display. If this issue isnt fixed Ill quickly lose interest in the game and delete it. We rated this game three stars, had it worked properly Id have given it five stars.
We really love the game its just that we get no push notifications can u fix this. We dont know when our stuff is ready in game.
