update the GAME. this phasing out games is NOT okay. if it's Google Plays fault then all the dev teams need to get at them to fix it. if it isn't the Heartbreaking to see Noodlecake once HIGHLY respected Indy game company behave this way.
I can't get past the record spinning screen. I can control the record (kind of) and stop it, but anything I touch makes it start up again, so I'm not quite sure how to start the game. I've tried everything, like clearing the cache, clearing the data, uninstalling & installing again -- I'm at a loss. Developer, please help! If you can get it to work, I'll happily update my review & stars, but in the meantime, I'll wait for the Developer to answer. Thanking you in advance, Developer!
Any chance we can get an update in 2025? Game still doesn't work with modern Android.
Edit: They stopped updating the game and now no longer works :( This is the best android game ive ever had the pleasure of experiencing. This is totally worth the money, and I hope this game never ends!!
Kindly fix this game for Samsung Foldable phones running on Android 14
Crashes before the load screen is even done. Cannot get into the game. Unplayable. I want a refund. PLEASE update for the latest Android version.
It's a fun, artistic, musical experience... When it doesn't crash. If you rotate in certain ways, it crashes. Sometimes it will repeatedly crash when trying to open and Android will ask you to clear cache. Sometimes it blatantly says there's a bug with the app upon launching, and it recommends that you update. UPDATE: it crashes upon launching now. Unplayable... Don't burn your money. Watch a playthrough on YouTube.
doesn't work
This game crashes at start if the tablet is not vertical, and then asks you to put it horizontal. If you ignore this first issue, after getting killed by an early boss, the game respawned me in the boss room but it was not possible to interact with anything anymore. It looked at a severe bug and I stopped there and requested a refund. TL;DR: this game was not tested on Android and does not work.

Never got to play. Kept crashing right away.
Don't buy. The game crashes constantly.
Doesn't work on my S22 Ultra. Won't even load.
it's sucks
Won't go past the title screen. Soon as I figure out how to ask for a refund I will. Using a pixel4a with Android 12.
Mannn it's a shame to rate this five star game a one, but it's just crashing on newer devices. Quite literally unplayable.
Crashes. Application seems no longer maintained
Doesn't work
Does pretty much Nothing but crash
Wont load in my s9+
Crashes on s21
Unfortunately it would not even open Intially as it kept crashing
It's not starting anymore on my S4 tab.
Doesn't work for me, crashes constantly.
Unplayable on modern phones. Jittery sound and prone to crashing.
S10+ just hangs on opening with a screen that credits the music. avoid.
Won't load on my s20+ juat crashes on startup. Bummer, this game was a good one too.
Can't get past the start up screen, force closes almost immediately....pixel 3xl
Game crashes as soon as it starts and it prompts you to turn screen sideways
Bad design. No explanation of what to do. Garbage.
It crashes at startup on my Galaxy A71
Graphics are to difficult for older people like me to see.. nice try though
unable to install.... decent reviews but I can't even open to start
Game crashes every time I tweet. I died to the skilled creature after picking up the tome. When the game respawned me I couldn't move. I can't proceed now.
Audio is completely broken
Keeps crashing. Does not work
Game is stuck in megatome cave. I got captured by dark figure once and now whole scene is frozen. Control scheme is pathetic
I wish I could play this game again... It's too bad that the updates have stopped.
This game kind of sounds and looks good, but it was sooooooo boring, and the controls made it really awkward and clunky to play. I hear it has good puzzles but I was so bored during the first level that I couldn't face any more.
Just so boring! Played for one hour but it felt like several more than that. Tedious play and poor graphics.
I have remembered about this game, after 7 years after release as it is unique, sound visuals and overall aesthetics are marvelous. Unfortunately I have difficulty running it on Android 11, game stops, crashes mid way and forces Android OS screen rotation to the very peculiar position - upside down. Hence it's not playable at all :( Decided to go with PC version instead, there was a bug with resolution also (fortunately an easy fix). I do not recommend this game on Android, as it is buggy..
Knockoff Zelda story, bad mechanics all the way through, not enough in-game instruction. Wouldn't waste time or money on this again
A glorified walking simulator with some fine music and underwhelming visuals.
Good game, but I am stuck at a cave, and nothing is happening I have clicked in many places, before in this place the cave used to shake and the statue would stand up, but my character was unable to move then also so I lost that round, but this time not even the statue is standing.
I liked, but it has a lot of bugs. When I got the golden trigon the app crash. I still can't get out from there when it happened days ago. I unistalled it.
It just doesn't do a hood job of telling you what you need to do and the fight scenes can be eather satisfying or infuriating because it barely gives you a hint as to what you should do. I had to look up practically everything.
Buggy, freezes. Would be great otherwise. I've played this game twice and it's frozen about five times. Examples: First time I played I got to the end of chapter 1, a smoke monster caught me, game froze, and when the game reloaded controls were non-responsive. Worked again after I reset my phone. Another freeze happened when I accidentally went to the credits and tried to go back, it froze with the curtains half closed. Just now it froze on the start screen. Pixel 3A, Android 10.
