App Store Editors’ Notes

Beautiful, original

I have to laugh. I’ve had this game on my iPhone for months and never got around to playing it. Well, out of nowhere, I finally played through it this morning on my new iPhone Xs Max. And then the app updates this afternoon to be “properly outfitted for the latest iPhone models”. Talk about timing. Guess I’ll have to play through it once more! Was a lot of fun. Beautifully done, love the artwork and especially the sounds/music. Is this a puzzler or brain teaser in any way? Not really. Just good, clean, whimsical fun. And it’s well worth it. I may even end up ordering a book for my wife’s kindergarten class.

A Beautiful Sea-Faring Adventure

Burly Men at Sea is a cut above most of the cobbled-together apps and games you will find in the App Store. It's full of delightful surprises, secret opportunities, careful details and gorgeous art work. If you're wanting to be immersed in ancient Nordic mythology with as a burly, bearded sailor, this is the adventure for you. Fun for kids, parents, wanderers, explorers, this game offers something for all. You can even have a picture book of your adventure created if you know where to look! Aye aye sailor! MILLby 4 lyfe

Yes

This is more of a story however it is the best one I’ve ever read It has a Groundhog Day type of feel

Wait...it’s over???

I’m honestly not sure why this is being referred to as a game. It’s a 20-30 minute interactive story. Nothing really happens. The characters don’t grow or change. They just take a short trip together and meet a few odd and adorable creatures. Even if you think of it as a children’s book, it really lacks a compelling story. I was fully prepared to freak out about how awesome this was given all the hype. Can’t do it. I was super underwhelmed.

This isn’t a game, it’s an enhanced children’s story.

This is absolutely not a game, it’s just cutesy, snail-paced animation and written dialogue. There isn’t a single puzzle/challenge throughout the entire “adventure”. On top of that, the story is boring and the end is pretty unsatisfying. The only thing game-like about this is a race in which your objective is to lose by making the characters sit still. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? Totally bogus. Avoid.

Beautiful, but incredibly too short for the price.

It would have taken 10 minutes if you could speed it up. Beautiful music and graphics but the price is ridiculous for the short experience. I will not be buying from this group again.

Not Worth It

There is no thinking required for this app. It’s not a game it’s a story. It will take you 20 minutes to get through and then you’re done. You just wait for them to walk around and when you think something’s finally happening then it’s over. Pretty graphics and a cool story but I was expecting much for the money.

Beautiful graphics

Very pretty story. Storyline seems limited though. Just finished my 2nd play through, and I’m not seeing a whole lot of potentially for more times through
