Ratings and reviews

In several years of playing mobile games, this is the best one I have played. No microtransactions or gacha or ads, just a retro pixel adventure game, similar to the Zelda series (specifically the SNES Zelda game, A Link to the Past), and similar high-quality game mechanics to classic games you rarely see anymore. It’s not quite as good as A Link to the Past for SNES because it’s a much shorter game. You do need a Netflix subscription to play it, though. I already had one, so it wasn’t an issue.

I played this game several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I recently tried to re-download it, but Netflix all of a sudden requires you to sign into an account for access. How absolutely ridiculous is it for a game like this to be blocked behind a Netflix account when it didn't always require it? Netflix is a streaming service, not a gaming service, and this is a MOBILE game. Any revenue they generate from this game can't be more than a negligible amount, so why bother?

Redownload this this game to try and play again since the newest one has so many glitches in the game play. now this version like the newer one requires a Netflix account to even play! On top of that it doesn't save your progress in some parts! I recently just made quite a bit o progress in the forest with bear and beehives. I went to exit the game and it said it would save it. Came back to continue and I have to reopen the first gate again and get the ear to break the log. 🤬🤦‍♀️
