Zoombinis

I absolutely loved this game as a kid, but the app keeps glitching. I'll make it through the puzzles without losing any Zoombinis and when I get to the campsite, I've lost one of two. It happens consistently. And no matter how many times I get through the final leg, it will not advance in difficulty level, so Ive found myself playing in practice mode sometimes because it's too easy and boring. Great game, awesome for kids, but the app is frustrating. I miss my PC.

Speaking from someone who has played the original version, I believe this is a great port. The graphics are are cleanly updated to a more modern style. The music and voice clips are largely the same as well. However, I do have some criticisms, the biggest issue is that the instructions for all difficulties are oversimplified to as a little as two lines of text. Some sound effects from the original game (such as the zoombinis walking) are absent. The mobile version also tends to lag. 8/10 port

I love this game, it's exactly the computer game I played as a kid. It's a great remake for my phone. My only complaint is that there are very few instructions about which buttons to press and what the symbols mean and because of that I've lost a lot of zoombinis lol. I also can't figure out how to change the difficulty? Interacting with the map is confusing and annoying because there was no tutorial like at all

Wow, this game is amazing! It's one of those rare children's games that actually respects their intellect and has some trully ingenious puzzles that test your deduction skills. There are only 12 puzzles in the game, however they are incredibly well designed and each has 4 levels of difficulty which require different strategies to finish, so the game doesn't feel starved for content. It's evident that the game's focused on being both fun to play and a great logic exercise, and it shines for it!

The newly rendered art is really pretty, especially the lake in the raft puzzle so that it is more immersive to play than the old beat up pixelated version. One glitch is when that squirrel climbs down the tree, sometimes she gets frozen on the way down. Anyway it is very fun playing on a touch screen instead of an old computer, the old animation was already well done so it is a very good looking game now. I like how you can play the more addictive puzzels in any order on "practise"!

I'm on the Google pixel 4, and the game will not get past the loading screen. Even on my previous phone, this game was kind of buggy. For instance, the treehouse game would sometimes board everything up and all the zoombinis would just stare directly at me. Overall good game, and I'd recommend it if it works on your phone.

Very nice! It's fun but kind of old old fashioned which is understandable it's very old my mom played it when she was a kid it's very fun though I like the idea. there's no option to turn off the sound, other then that it's awesome it's kind of sad that there's no way to transfer an account from other devices, but I like the logic part and I like how it gets harder when you go along.

There are some animation glitches, but that's ignorable. I am however frustrated that I don't seem to be able to swap the lily pads when doing the frog crossing puzzle. It works okay-ish during the practice, but during the actual journey itself it doesn't seem to work.

I absolutely loved this game as a kid, being able to play it again now is so nostalgic! Especially as it has the original music and character voices. The only thing I can't figure out is if you can change the easiness level on game play or if that's just for practice. Overall, just as enjoyable!

For those struggling with the MIRROR MACHINE stage: I almost uninstalled the game myself until I realised that you AREN'T SUPPOSED TO MERGE TWO ZOOMBINI'S APPEARANCES in the early stages, carefully look through the mirror reflections and you'll find that one will match one of your zoombinis EXACTLY, continue to match the reflections to your zoombinis one at a time until you get them all through. Childhood memories + that confusing 2nd seat stumped me for a while! Fantastic game.

Sadly Busted! I wanted this game mobile so bad but it does exactly what others say it does. Freezing on the first screen when it asks for your name. I can't imagine they've done any testing lately or they would have noticed the FIRST SCREEN of gameplay to hold them hostage. Immediate refund, hope it gets help. I still want to play it. (Edited for spelling)

Launched the game and made my characters. Then the game immediately crashed and I haven't been able to launch it since. Refund requested. Very disappointed.

Just like the PC game i remember. Would give 5 stars, but sometimes after completing a run without losing any Zoombini's, one or two for some reason dont make it through and are sent back to the previous checkpoint? Please address this bug!

Opened up the app and it wouldn't let me type anything, I couldn't hit any of the buttons, restated the game, restarted the phone. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it wouldn't ever let me get past the 'create your story' window. Disappointed as this was a game of my childhood!

I wish it had a little bit better instructions. Especially with the 3 fleens in the tree. I really don't understand that game. But all in all I love it. It's exactly what I need since being in covid lockdown. I love the way it gets my brain problem solving. It's a good game. I played it in school as a child and I'm so glad I found this game again.

Great to relive my childhood, unfortunately it's not very well optimised for the screen size of the S9+. Plus a lot of the boxes, text etc is just so small. Not suited for a phone at all.

EDIT: Developers resolved the opening screen bug! I was able to start a game and just left my first group of Zoombinis at the first campsite! Thanks for listening to reviews. Thrilled to play and highly recommend for developing kids' metacognition and logic skills. So fun, doesn't even feel like learning. === I was so excited to play one of my favorite childhood games again, but I can't do anything on the opening "Name Your Game" screen.

I've been searching for the name of this game for months and finally remembered it!! You guys did a great job recreating the game oh the childhood memories!! Thank you it's a little buggy when dropping the charectors on to the areas but other than that I can't wait for more zoombinis!

I have not played this game since I was in elementary school. It was such a nostalgic rush to see this game available, not glitchy, can load up anywhere. Still stumps me here and there! Good game. Would highly suggest to any age group, the narrator is half the enjoyment so get that volume turned up so you can hear the splendor.

If it is "frozen" for you on the title screen long press the text box and it will let you type. Game works great, lot of work went into it and it feels exactly like it did when I was a kid.

I got this awhile ago and I've (tried to) play it multiple times and once I get to the second campsite it doesn't let me go any further so I can only play half the game on the same difficulty

I have always loved this game as a kid. I was so excited when I found it!! Same as the original that I played in the 90s!!

Childhood throwback. I loved this game as a kid, it brings back so many memories i showed my sister and she decided to purchase the game as well. My mom was also pretty happy to see us get excited over a game she got us when we was kids. Im about to be 29 now but the nastalgia is great.

Paid 2.99 got 3 seconds in the game and it crashed. Tried again crashed. Would not load at all anymore.

Doesn't even start, just freezes on the screen where it asks you to 'Name your Game'. Many people having the same issue. I am going to be refunding this and recommend others do not buy this.
