- “The plot is very exciting, can't wait for the next update with new chapters :)”
- “The graphics are cool, the match 3 screens just the right level of challenging, and the storyline and writing is fun, zany and relatable as you follow Oscar and his human and otherwise friends bumbling through a ramshackle beachfront home to make it livable in all while following their dreams.”
- “Absolutely loving the game and the storyline is brilliant.”
- “It's a fun game but it's a little slow on the dialogue. I get that there are people who enjoy that, but I would prefer a skip button since I don't follow the story. I just play match 3 and decorate. A skip button would be nice so that people who like watching the story can still watch, but for us that don't really follow along with the story, it would be nice to be able to skip things so we can keep playing.”
- “The downside for now is that the story is not finished, so I'll have to wait every 1 or 2 weeks for a new chapter to appear.”
- “I am still waiting for the story to continue. What is going on? I will give it one more week and then I am deleting the game. No one should have to wait this long.”
