  1. [R14] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 5/5 · US Best game ever: Played lots of games but this one I'm addicted to its complicated lots to do but it's so fun and as you progress truth the game you get more clothes and cabens to decorate you also unloc new parts of map and get to find chests and get yo have so much fun one request thou is for the carector voices to not just be a guy voce reading but the voce of the actual carectores
  2. [R24] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 5/5 · US Best game ever: One of the best games I’ve played ever, there’s always new things to do and you almost never get bored of it, new adventures open as you keep playing which wants you make to play more. 10/10 recommend
  3. [R27] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 5/5 · US It’s great just a few glitches: I love this game and I play it a lot you can bake things, decorate your cabin, and you can see some new Sanrio characters if you don’t know all of them. But one time i was fishing in the inside of the caldera and I pulled out Retsuko. Then she said hi and walked away. I was also wondering if you become a wheatflower guardian. I feel like the characters like my melo
  4. [R31] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 4/5 · US Almost perfect!: The game is great-ish. Almost exactly what I’ve been looking for! The quests are exactly my level of challenge, they’re mostly fun, they take you around the place just enough that you end up exploring and discovering little tiny details while you complete the quests around the island. The styles and furniture they put in the game not only looks really good but switches every year
  5. [R6] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 3/5 · US Adorable, But I Was Disappointed: I think that hardcore Hello Kitty fans will not want to put this game down. I even know some who were begging me to try it. Meanwhile, this game is hard to swallow for casual fans and casual players in general. The tutorial of the game put me on a rollercoaster of bored and overwhelmed. The activities and tasks were extremely simple, like delivering gifts, but the
  6. [R9] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 3/5 · US The game: The game is really fun but there is one thing in the game i love to do in real life but not in the game. Fishing. It’s so stressful
  7. [R22] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 5/5 · US Opinion: I love hello kitty but I don’t like that there so much quest
  8. [R1] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 1/5 · US Works when it wants: I’ve been playing this game since the very beginning and all of a sudden it doesn’t work or load
  9. [R3] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 3/5 · US Fertilizer Glitch: Love it, but the new update is preventing me from getting fertilizer. Whenever the new dialogue box comes up to mass-add to the composter, it won’t let me leave that screen. It doesn’t let you back out or X out of the window unless you restart the game. It works for individual small amounts of flowers but when they are above the threshold of bulk-adding and trigger the new dialo
  10. [R7] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 1/5 · US SO many bugs for an award wining game: Seriously, the amount of bugs this game has is ridiculous. Every update comes with at least 2-3 new bugs and issues. They’re so slow to fix the issues, and it’s getting old. Still can’t turn flowers into seeds or fertilizer without having to completely exiting the game because it freezes and gets stuck on the same screen and you can’t exit out of it. Do bette
  11. [R12] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 3/5 · US Beautiful Game Except…: This is one of the most fun and addicting games to play except the glitches and bugs specifically when customizing the exterior cafe in city town it just freezes the whole app. Also, spawning lychee fruit does not allow you to receive or pick it, but just displays a message. Would be perfect if these issues did not keep me from moving forward in the game.
  12. [R10] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 1/5 · US Devious: The truly insidious thing about this version of the game is how much fun it is while also selling DLC and offering no way to play no matter how much you buy in addition to the apple arcade subscription required to play the game. Hopefully when their Arcade contract expires they just allow you to purchase the game so you can play it regardless of subscription status but this is the only
  13. [R13] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 1/5 · US Fertilizer BROKEN AGAIN! No response from devs!!!: This is the weirdest DEV I have ever dealt with. They act like going through a few lines of code to figure out what the problem is is an inconvenience for them. Guess what. We are paying for this every single month. We are basically renting this game. Well, my renting is coming to a close in two days because the developers can't be bothered to fix
  14. [R16] Hello Kitty Island Adventure 5/5 · US Love it!: I love this game because of a couple reasons first reason of course is because I LOVE HELLO KITTY AND FRIENDS SO MUCH!!!! Second reason it has ZERO AD’S which I love because now almost ALL GAMES HAVE AD’S! In conclusion I love this game because it is fun,cool, and very adventurous! I would definitely recommend playing and downloading this game!
