One of my all time favorite games. I can play it offline too and it updates once line is back so as long as you have a lot of onigiri you'll have probably 30mins of game time. On the plane.. Haha.. Constant updates and events which is good. Although I wish there was a repeat of some old events. Nevertheless it is a good game and fun to play.

Very cute and very fun. Puzzles vary from easy to solve to outright rage inducing and strictly luck based, so be sure to stack up on items for difficult levels. Overall, would recommend to play, the characters are adorable and you unlock a little story with them throughout the playthrough

Love this game . One of the best match games I have played. Characters are simply adorable. Graphics are well designed. No ads and no pressure in purchasing items makes this game a real gem !! You get many bonuses whenever you complete tasks makes this game even more enjoyable and exciting. Very smooth game play and highly intuitive. Keep up the good work 😄😄😄😄

I just uninstalled it today in the need for more storage space but download it again because I can't bear to😅 It's fun and cute, unlike other match games out there. The rewards are generous too. The higher the level the harder it gets, especially in the limited time event. The only downside is that it can't be moved to external storage so this game quite take up some internal space. Oh and also, I don't quite understand the medal thingy and when I went to FAQ there wasn't any explanation...

I love the game but once you get to around level 200 it feels impossible. I haven't been able to get all the power ups and one level might take me a week to finally complete (with luck) And when it asks you to play with coins to move forward it's crazy hard to build it up because you have to win the levels for coins and beginning levels only give 50 so its not easily grindable which makes it harder when you can't use power ups because they cost coins

Great combination of medium and hard difficulties level with various puzzling types. Found several times once passing level 50 so on, when opening the app, it can either black out or frozen. Once it had opened the level I was in and energy has been placed, it kicked me out, so I lost one energy in vain.

this is a fun match game whose hexagonal boards mean you have to think a little differently.

overall its a pretty good game, its addictive, the story and the characters are cute as hell, and microtransactions are hardly necessary. although, the app is a little buggy in some parts and there are some barriers that require you to log in to facebook and invite friends to pass them. However, you can just pay with the normal currency coins to pass anyway.

Was looking for a game to replace my old one that discontinued 😔 (Tuscany Villa) and i fell across this game and gave it a shot coz im quite picky. Different style of connecting colours but soooooooo super cuteeee so i couldn't really fault it. Took a while to learn and adjust to but i really like it now. Be warned! Highly addictive! lol

I really loved playing this game until I got up to the higher levels then it gets too hard. I never earn enough stars to upgrade the characters and when I do the challenges to upgrade are impossible to pass. I refuse to buy boosters for any games so I just stopped playing and uninstalled. Please update the game to make it a little easier, it doesn't have to be easy, just not impossible!

Game is cute and fun to play! Love the little animated storylines :) But i cannot connect my Facebook and can't see another way to connect with players and friends so we can help each other. Hope this will be reenabled? Here is what Facebook says: "App not active: This app is not currently accessible and the app developer is aware of the issue. You will be able to log in when the app is reactivated."

It was such a good game. Though sometimes I feel like some levels are just too hard to pass. You had to wait till you got the side-kick upgrade first before being able to pass the game. Took me 20 lives to get 1 (medium-level) side kick.. so yeah :(. But other than that, super addicting! No pop up ads too.

This is so ridiculously cute. I adore the Sumikko Gurashi characters and love following their adventures in this game. The stage animations are wonderful; I sometimes go back and watch them again when I need a dose of wholesome cute. There are no intrusive ads to interrupt gameplay. I've been using this app for over a year and it's only ever been great.

The animations, sound effects and event prizes are so detailed and cute! Only drawback is more and more advanced levels are just a lottery of which generated pieces you get. Some literally are so restricted you have one move you can make at a time and you have to grind through it half a hundred times before lucking into a win to move on.

I absolutely love this game and have played it nearly constantly for several months now. Somewhere, about two-three events back, the loading time for the game became incredibly... long. I deleted and reinstalled it and it's better, but not a LOT better. Something is still seriously wrong, and I hate giving up after all my progress. Hopefully they'll fix whatever they changed.

One of the more interesting puzzle games I've played. Always introduces something new with every level and makes me think. I've downloaded it about three different times now when I've wanted a puzzle game. I got stuck the two previous attempts, but I've already made it further than the last time, so let's hope my brain (and luck) lets me get even further!

Fun game with catchy music and the cutest little corner dwellers. No ads unless you want extra stuff and the gatcha system has a bonus if you get duplicates. Puzzles get pretty challenging and are always changing things up. If you're like me and need help not playing endlessly: worry not, you only have so many lives and they take a while to regenerate. It's a nice built in reminder to take breaks! I've loved this game since I found it in college and I'm so happy I picked it up again!

Even though this style of mobile puzzle game is my favorite, every single one I've played has gotten way too difficult to beat any levels without using items early on. This Sumikko version of the game is very different! Not only can I still beat levels at nearly level 500 with any problems, but everything about it is so precious and gives me life. They've made it very difficult to obtain enough stars to unlock all helper characters, but it's not game-breaking. A+ game, it's truly the best. ❤️

I really like this game !! it's super cute and not too hard but definitely gives a challenge at points to keep it fun and interesting (: it's super easy to play when you've got a little free time and so far I haven't had any ads besides the ones that like, you can watch to get extra stuff and I like that its not a pay-to-win game, that's rlly nice.

This game is adorable!! I love it so much, and the visuals are pleasing. I love the use of brown line-art. Anyways, some game play functions are a bit frustrating (trying to get fruit into the plate) but other than that it's good. It's simple once you master it and you might fall in love with it. Not to mention the various corners that the SumikkoGurashi relax in once you complete 10-12 levels. ♡
