level 13 not doable

game gets progressively more difficult until you get to a level 13 that cannot be beat. you pull the string and the game makes you wait a millisecond bed]fore you can run. you can't climb the wnd block fast enough

Had a hard time with the touch controls. BUT AN AMAZING GAME!!

I had a hard time completing certain levels due the touch controls being finicky. I loved the puzzles. Challenging but not impossible! Would love a sequel!!

Zero Accessibility

The game requires you to tap on the screen in order to get the character to move and interact with things. However, there’s no indication as to where you’re going to tap is going to actually get the character to move anywhere. Thus, the majority of puzzles that are on this game require you to tap randomly towards an apparent objective using repetitive tapping. And when timing is required, it becomes increasingly annoying. The graphics are basic but pretty and the story is just OK. The interaction method is extremely frustrating and lackluster.

Might be a fun game

It might be a fun game. I honestly didn’t give it a try. It won’t slow me to listen to anything other than it, even if you mute in game music and sounds. I generally prefer to listen to whatever I was listening to when I launch a game. This game as soon as it had focus stops whatever else is playing. Doesn’t matter if you mute in game audio. That just means you are playing is silence.

Controls ruined it for me

The game has fun puzzles and an interesting story (even with if horror isn’t my type), but the controls are not very good: when you need to run from something and you have to double press near the edge of your phone, without really seeing where you’re going, that ruins the fun for me. Some puzzles are also not very forgiving (very short period of time to react), which amplifies this issue. The game makes you restart close by so it’s not critical but other similar games are much easier to control.

movement is so clunky and tedious!

one of those games you have to tap all over to understand where you can actually go or interact with things. inconsistent when you can jump on blocks or not, and really hard to get around even though precision is essential to getting past a level. its a cute but frustrating game.

The First Instalment in the Little Nightmares Slop Era

So first off the game crashed twice on me, and I had to reset the game twice more because of glitches that made it impossible to progress. There was also a consistent visual glitch where the player character’s shadow appeared in a separate location from the character herself. The game itself is full of obtuse and idiotic puzzles which have solutions so nonsensical it veers into troll territory. This is not a Tarsier Studios (LN1 & 2 creators) production, but was instead made by another studio, much like fellow slop-game LN3. The, ah, ‘twist’ will be obvious to anyone with three braincells, and aesthetically it is an abomination. I will be updating my review if the App Store ever makes it possible to rate lower than 1 star. They didn’t even spell ‘adventure’ correctly in the game description.

If it was sold on Steam, I’d pay £8 to play it again

It was going to be 4 stars but the final few levels knocked one off. It’s worthy of the Little Nightmares name with the atmosphere and characters, and the first 80% of the game can call itself one of the top 10 point and click adventure games since the 90s. The 5th star was knocked off for poor controls and camera. But it wasn’t a problem for the first 80%, just finicky. My second biggest bugbear was that climbable surfaces were hard to spot for the latter half, early climbable surfaces had distinct characteristics but towards the end I think I can be forgiven in assuming a stack of washing or a brick wall is too difficult to climb for a character who can’t walk past objects without knocking them over. The 4th star had to go for the final act. I feel like one of the first rules of game design should be “if your controls don’t support fast paced action, don’t put fast paced action in” and if I could only give one piece of feedback, that would definitely be the one I’d make sure was heard. From the moment the chandelier drops, all the way to the end, I was more frustrated at the game than engrossed in it, and it’s only the fact I knew it was nearly the end that kept me playing. You want a quick fix? Update the default movement speed to be running. Too many times I found myself casually walking past a hand on that chase scene when I’m sure I asked for a sprint, and I’m sure the character would agree the moment demands fast movement so walking shouldn’t even be available. Finally, spamming movement demands actually results in slightly slower movement because there’s a brief pause from the character whilst they change path, which meant I lost the final level first time because the gap closed. It’s a minor bug but it’s counter intuitive to respond to “sprint off screen” by slowing down. In general, really good game, let down by a combination of bad controls that offer little control, paired with a demand for fine and fast movement. Each work for the games premise in their own way, but together they make for a poor experience in the latter half.

Controls not responsive on IPAD

May well be a good game for some , started getting into it unfortunately screen froze , the controls on my iPad are appalling you double tap to run and suddenly stop not to get killed and it keeps running then stops . The game is laggy and really is a game that should be compatible with a Bluetooth controller . Uninstalled

Completely stuck in the dining room. There is no way forward, as the chandelier jump always ends extremely badly! Two stars as this could have been a great game had the controls been optimised for the iPad.

Progress lost twice

I was really enjoying this game and was over half way through when my iPad died and then the game froze and when I went to restart it I had to start from the very beginning again. So I did until my iPad died and when I restarted it the game had lost all my progress again. Really frustrating. I am giving up now.

I Love Little Nightmares

This game is honestly amazing but the one thing I wish is that we could play Little Nightmares 2 & 3 on mobile as well and use the co-op on little nightmares 3 with people who live far from us like making a duo party and having a code we can custom set to have our friend join us! But 10/10 game. And if anyone can get in contact with Tarsier studio please tell them to put Reanimal on mobile as well!

Can’t be completed due to a bug

I’m really disappointed in this game. It’s a great concept to transfer the Little Nightmares style of game to mobile devices, it’s fun and challenging right up to level 13 - The Laundry Steam Room. There’s a bug that stops you escaping before the nightmare servant kills you. One of the things about mobile games that annoys me the most is exactly this, lack of support with broken games, so this 1 star review is all I can do.

It’s an interesting adventure, only improvements I can think of is less having to run, jump and land in a set time or level completion will fail. Less running, more thinking. We are not all blessed with dexterous fingers and perfect vision.

Great game, terrible bug

Was really enjoying the game and reached level 15. I had noticed the game wasn’t recording when I found each music box, but unfortunately it turned out it wasn’t saving progress at all. On level 15 you have to move a platform. I made it to the next screen, but thought I may have missed something and returned the screen prior to the platform. When I went back to the platform I found it was stuck out of reach. I decided to exit to the main menu and return, hoping the platform would reset. I was instead sent back to the beginning of the game. A shame as I would have liked to see how it ends.

Frustrating & buggy

Game play was good, interesting enough to keep me engaged past 20% complete, then I went to the main menu to look at settings and now none of my progress is saved. Wants me to start again at the beginning. Takes way too long to play straight through so this is unplayable. I found 3 of the hidden boxes and the counter just kept showing 0. Needs bug fixes to be enjoyable.

Pretty but mechanically flawed

For a tap-to-move game with unfortunately awkward targeting, a majority of the time-based puzzles are just frustrating and not very much fun. In general this pretty and atmospheric game suffers from too much idea and too little play.
