βThe storyline is realistic yet fun.β
βI love the pixel art, the story, the horror, and the characters.β
βThis game has the best storyline and graphics I've ever seen!β
βThe storyline makes sense, but the game is harder.β
βIt's an odd but terrifying storyline, and the graphics (for a side runner game) look amazing!β
βI can't beat the second to last mission because my mission keeps going back to my old one, and if I do it, nothing happens. Please fix this.β

βI'm loving it spooky and creepy! You guys are amazing, thank you for bringing art back in games. The art style reminds me of Clock Tower 3.β
βI really liked the graphics, but it's kind of glitchy. Like when I'm running, it would glitch and Mr. Hopp would get me. I hope you can fix that.β
βGood, I like it, but I don't like some of the graphics.β
βThe graphics make it really scary.β

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and placement of ads, particularly during critical gameplay moments. While some users appreciate the absence of forced ads and enjoy the option to watch ads for benefits like invisibility, others find the ad interruptions disruptive and annoying. Overall, the game's monetization strategy appears to be a point of contention, impacting the overall enjoyment for a significant number of players.
βI really enjoyed it! Keep on going, Moonbit! It just pops! I enjoy it, although it's scary. It's not that bad, but there are no ads, no glitches, and no errors.β
βThis is so much fun! It has no ads, and I love horror so much. Thank you for making it! I rate it 5/5.β
βGood game all around, and the best part is no ads.β
βI love this game so much but it has soooo many ads.. and I can't open extras when I have no internet.. I really hope you fix this.. good luck moonbit/jake!β
βOverall the game is fun but I am at stage 3 and I just can't pass because of the advertisements, so can you please put advertisements not in front of an escape? I am really struggling to pass the level.β
βToo many ads to be interested in it, especially since it's hard to control on mobile, but the game itself is good.β

The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting frequent glitches and freezing issues, particularly when attempting to watch ads or during specific gameplay moments. While some users praise the game for having no lag or bugs, others express frustration over recurring problems that disrupt their experience, such as characters moving through objects or freezing during critical moments. Overall, while the game has potential, significant stability issues need to be addressed for a smoother experience.
βThis game is the best game I've ever played. It has no glitches and lags; it is just perfect and very scary. I am only on chapter 3, and it has still been so scary. I love it, so I am going to rate it 5 stars! π€©β
βAbsolutely loved this game! No glitches, no problems, and an average story.β

βSo, when I'm in the game playing, and I click the small radio for 30 seconds of invisibility, sometimes, just sometimes, when the ad is loading, it freezes me and I can't move until the ad loads, but the problem is it never loads, so I have to restart the chapter and it's annoying.β
βWhen I try to view an ad during 'the six' chapter, the game freezes and I have to exit it and reload, which was pretty annoying since I just got the 6th pendant and had to start over, great game otherwise!β
βI love the game and all, but the problem is that when I try to get the 3rd medallion, it just glitches and everything turns black, so I don't know what I am doing. Please fix this and please make the 6th medallion easier; I have spent 3 hours just trying to get it but I still haven't.β

Overall, the gameplay is highly praised for its engaging mechanics, smooth controls, and entertaining minigames, contributing to a compelling experience. However, some players express frustration with specific design choices, such as health management in certain levels and occasional control issues. Despite these critiques, the game is recognized for its challenging yet enjoyable gameplay, complemented by a strong story and effective voice acting.
βThis game is awesome! I never thought that the game would be so great; I don't care about the graphics and all, it is based on the gameplay.β
βI haven't encountered any bugs or glitches. One of the best 2D horror games I've played so far, great gameplay mechanics and story, 10/10.β
βEntertaining gameplay; the story is interesting as well.β
βI love the game but I have a huge nitpick: during the underworld level, whenever you get hit, you lose health, and when you move to the next round, you stay that way. In other levels, your health resets, and I don't like this at all because in other gameplay I've seen, the health resets after you go through the next door. I hope you change this.β
βOk, the problem is I feel like Mr. Hop is lurking and watching me, and I can't even continue the game. Maybe if you hadn't made the screen a little too dark, I would rather continue my gameplay. I'm not the only one who has this problem; my brother played this game and he got jumpscared. Next time, make your game less dark.β
βI played this since 2022, and in the middle of my gameplay, the controls started acting weird. Ever since, I deleted it, then in 2023, I played the whole game with a good ending in a day.β

The music in the game is a polarizing aspect, with some players praising its creepy and unsettling qualities that enhance the horror experience, while others express frustration over the inability to play their own music during gameplay. Many find the soundtrack effective in creating a tense atmosphere, contributing to the game's overall appeal, though some players feel it can be overwhelming or lead to nightmares. Overall, the music is seen as a key element that adds to the game's charm and intensity, despite some technical issues.
βI haven't even played the game yet but I've watched videos, and the unsettling pixel horror, the music, and the anthropomorphic toy animals are almost peaceful. Continue the work and I'm anxious to play the game.β
βTop tier horror game, love the creepy music and dark story.β
βI love this game so much and the jumpscare, music, jumpscare music, anything I really love this.β
βFor me, the six is really hard because you need to jump over the toys and it's so annoying when I die, and the music is giving me nightmares. In my opinion, this game is cool, but it's just not for me, so I'm giving it 3 stars.β
βGreat game, but you can't play any music while playing the game. It kind of sucks; I always play a game with music, and Mr. Hopps Playhouse 2 is kind of boring to me now because I can't play any music.β
βIt was a lot of fun and hard, but mostly too scary. Did you hear the music? You will have nightmares.β

The humor in the game is primarily derived from its unexpected jump scares and the players' reactions to them, often leading to laughter even amidst the horror. Many users find the combination of scary elements and comedic moments, such as dancing instead of collecting items, to be entertaining and enjoyable. Overall, the game strikes a balance between fear and fun, making it appealing to those who appreciate both genres.
βI wuv this! It's not scary, but I hate dying. I really wanted to dance when I got the second medallion, but I died. The funny part is I made lots of sounds saying, 'I'm dancing, I'm dancing!' I was bored instead of collecting, so Esther decided to dance, lol! π€£β
βI really love jump scares because they spooked my friends and made me laugh! ππ π€£β
βWow, this game is soooo scary, but it's funny.β

The story resonates deeply, evoking feelings of sadness and warmth, particularly highlighted by a heartwarming ending. Despite some gameplay frustrations, the emotional depth and horror elements make it a recommended choice for fans of the genre.
βThis is a cool game; it scares me a lot and I think that's funny. I've played it over and over again, I think for like 5 times, and I will do it again. The story really gets to my heart, and I don't cry, but I'm a bit emotional, so it's a bit sad. Perfect though, good job! I really recommend it to people that like horror games and don't mind the hard parts of the game.β
βIt's a little scary, but the savior ending is heartwarming.β
