Hatch - GameClub for Negative User Reviews
✓ Needs too much attention.This game is great if you want to feel like crap. This game needs settings as to play activity. Too much running away, and now he's gone for good, and wants me to start over. This is ridiculous for being a paid app. He doesn't grow, sounds can be more monster-like instead of a kid, and should be able to live throughout a day when people WORK all day. Tone it back a bit and you get more stars from me if it matters..Version: 1.2
✓ Too much guilt and not enough joyI really wanted this to be a fun thing to play with. I signed up to the prerelease and have had it on my hem screen ever since. It's taken me this long to remove the app because I kept wanting them to add more interaction and I had hope they were going to, this update was enough to tell me that it was never going to go in a direction which was interesting to me. For the last month or more I've been checking in on my pet purely out of guilt and not because I wanted to. There was nothing fun to do in the app only the promise that if I stopped checking my pet there would be no possibility of fun either. It's a shame because I think there was a lot of potential to really update the tamagotchi with new sensors and fun interactions but that isn't the direction they chose to take..Version: 1.4
✓ Great...at first.I loved this app at first - I didn't find it overly demanding and the graphics were great. Once I hit about 60 days though, it turned into a bit of a yawn. It's still super cute and I go in every now and then just to keep it from running away but I'm racking up the stars and acorns and there's not even anything new to buy to keep me amused. I keep holding out for an update that will add a new dimension but I'm losing hope that one is coming. This app was on it's way to becoming one of my all time faves but it's rapidly losing favor..Version: 1.2.2
✓ :(Very disappointing. Does not grow. Just poos and can change rug and background. But does not evolve..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Nothing to doThe pet does nothing but eat and respond to basic interactions. You have nothing to do but feed the pet and make basic interactions..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Please fix!I have had my fugu for over 6 months and I have got 100% trust and yes im always connected to WiFi and im always playing with my fugu . Anyway I don't have any Easter decor or any houses or any decor at all i don't even get the fruit that changes its color I have non of that. Please fix as I get no decor or houses at all I don't even get that changing color fruit thing please fix!. Im on iPod 5 btw.Version: 1.5.7
✓ Not Deep EnoughThis app succeeds in the beginning, but unfortunately it never changes and that is where it fails. This game fails to capture the most important aspects of virtual pet games, most importantly being that it changes or "ages" over time behaving differently at each age. Second, the pet should be able to die, not just "run away". Third, friend's pets should be able to interact, this is a huge missed opportunity. The iPad could have been used as a large place with multiple pets. But no, you just eternally pick three kinds of fruit off trees, feed the pet, rub it's belly, feed it more, it poops, you scoop until a ring of flowers fills around it. Then they go purple, fruit grow extra fast and then you get a star fruit, then it resets. The store fails to capture my interest, the items in it are totally visual except for maybe two things. Then, the next day you open the app and it's crying, and you nurse it back and repeat. Every arbitrary "anniversary" you get a surprise party, which is cute but even that becomes so repetitive. All considered, this app is ridiculously repetitive and you quickly come to dread having to look after your pet. There is no sense of dynamic change over time, no real consequence for not taking care of it as it just "runs away" but even then Max can usually go fetch it back (Max is actually one of the most annoying mechanics). There is no aging, reproducing, dying or anything like that which helps other virtual pet games stay interesting. It's unfortunate, because visually and initially it was compelling..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Horrible update to unacceptableThis game isn’t half of what it used to be. I’m so disappointed. The graphics are terrible and that’s saying something coming from me. I can buy anything in the store without any money because of a coding glitch that popped up on my screen. I am now NEGATIVE star coins because I allowed a purchase of a pedometer. Absolutely furious at how this game has been forgotten. It used to be an amazing game. Not sure what went wrong but I truly hate to see a game I’ve loved so much glitch out of its Mind like this. Give me back my 1st gen. This is unacceptable..Version: 1.82.10
✓ Not much to doCute but not much to do. Also needs a cute sound when he eats as he sounds like a fat teenager.Version: 1.1.0
✓ I Just Downloaded…This app and not realizing you need to pay a subscription to continue to play after 15 minutes is ridiculous. I was recommended this app even though it’s been a year since it’s last update. Why would you keep this app behind a paywall? I wish I was told about this beforehand. App deleted..Version: 1.83.25
✓ Nice design but dullHad great hopes for this. But to be honest there is not a lot to do within the app. If the developers could add some new features that would be cool..Version: 1.1.0
✓ So SadI loved this game from the time I got my first phone back in 2013. I went away from apple because they throttled my phone battery after a few years and I couldn’t afford a new iPhone at the time as a broke college kid. Now I finally have a shiny new iPad and went to download this app and it’s behind a subscription wall?! Lame. So sad I can’t play anymore..Version: 1.83.25
✓ Well marketed garbage!Terrible "game." Pointless. Absolutely nothing to do. It wouldn't even be that much of an upset, but it's not actually 90 MBs. It's 350. Definitely not worth a third of a gig on my iphone. Total waste of money. But nicely packaged. Well done, marketing department! Save your $$$ everyone else!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Cute app but lackingCute critter, beautiful animations and art design, but unfortunately very limited on interactions. Hopefully this game will grow with updates to create a more compelling experience..Version: 1.2
✓ Beautiful but can get boring after a while.Not much in this initial release. It has the basic functions of a virtual pet game and looks and feels new and beautiful. But right now there is not much to so with your fugu. Waiting for updates to rate higher..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Adorable but dullAdorable graphics and concept, but gets really annoying fast with the alerts and lack of interest after a day or so. Literally becomes a nuisance after a while. Has a lot of potential but needs more to keep users engaged and interested - gets boring fast..Version: 1.2
✓ Has become boringHave had this game for over six years so just keep it going but it’s not getting better. How about some real change and not just “bug fixes and performance improvements?” Developer has really let us die-hard fans down. Innovate will ya!?.Version: 1.83.10
✓ 😡I normally don't make reviews on iTunes, but I HAD to talk about this. I was so excited for this app when there was an email newsletter and the option to choose an exclusive pet. Well, I must have been late downloading the thing because I didn't get my exclusive pet. Anyway, I finally got it and waited overnight for the thing to be born and all that. I opened up the app, pet it enough that it rolled on it's side and..... Crash! The app crashed! I checked on it and it was a little egg again. I decided to try again. I played for 15 minutes, got a low battery message, the app crashed, and it was an egg again. I then wrote this review. Wait for an update to fix all this. Don't get this app yet. Tl;dr:was excited to get the app, got the app late, it keeps on crashing and resetting, so I wrote this review in a rage..Version: 1.2
✓ Disappointed.The game has a lot of potential. A few tweaks and add ons such as mini games and being able to interact more would make the game better. Cleaning up poo and feeding hatch gets boring after a while..Version: 1.1.0
✓ BoringFun for a while, until u realise no rewards for anything, pet never grows up or changes. Very repetitive..Version: 1.1.0
✓ BoringNice to look at but just boring and repetitive. Once you've played a day or so it appears you've seen and done it all..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Bit disappointedNot much things to do with my pet, get boring already.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Crashes and restartsNo sooner do I get a fugu pet and play it either crashes and I have to restart or when I exit and reopen app I'm restarting a new fugu. Have my iPod touch at the most recent iOS. Would really like to play without the issues..Version: 1.2
✓ Could be goodAs most everyone has says, it’s super cute. From a gameplay point of view I admire what they’re trying to do, with the features they have being well implemented, however, there just isn’t a whole lot to do with compared to similar games. It’s a shame because it really is adorable. It seems updates are few and far between, so I don’t hold out hope of things improving too much. Sadly..Version: 1.8
✓ Kinda blah.I waited a long time for this app to come out and bought it the first day it was released. The little guy is cute but he just doesn't do much other than eat and poop. I've kept my fugu alive in hopes that future updates would improve the gameplay. I'm also very annoyed that the fugu can run away for good so easily. There should be a vacation mode..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Not badIt is a very fun app, although it gets repetitive it still keeps me entertained after a week of playing it. I am also confused on how to take a photo of your fugu with the camera, I can only take regular photos of the place around me. But overall, a fair app..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Was once a fun game now a pay to play gameI have had hatch on my iPhone for since the game came out more than Four years ago. I do know that it became buggy and out of date when the developer went MIA but I still played the game until I had 100% completion. Making me pay a subscription for a game that I bought years ago. Not fair..Version: 1.82.7
✓ Crashes a lotThe app crashes a lot, sends push notifications in the middle of the night to say my fugu is hungry but it's sleeping, and still poops too much..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Ads on old users is nonsenseWhen you took over Hatch you said that old users could continue to use the app uninterrupted by ads and that subscription was optional and that our experience would remain unchanged. For new users of the Hatch app there would be ads if the users were not subscribed to Gameclub and that they would need to get subscription to remove the ads. This was NOT supposed to affect old users who have been using the app for years. However, your latest update has forced ads in my app even though I have been a customer of the Hatch app for 6 years. I continue playing the app for nostalgia sake and NOT because Gameclub took over. All I want to do is feed my pet uninterrupted as I have been for the past 6 years. Do the right thing and remove the ads from the apps of users that downloaded the app prior to your acquisition..Version: 1.83.8
✓ Bring back ad-free for legacy usersI am so tired of apps being ad-monetized after I have paid for them. The original dev did something similar before GameClub acquired it, which is the reason I deleted it in the first place. I guess it is that time again. It's a fun game if you can live with ads when your Fugu is hungry. And before "developer response" comes in here with a half-baked reply, no I will not create a GameClub account so you can "turn off" ads while making money off my email address..Version: 1.83.19
✓ PennyI played hatch a few years ago, I upgraded my phone and I lost it, I was very happy when I saw the app in the store again, however I was very disappointing when I realized the ability to share stickers via SMS was removed, as well as the one when you send a fruit flying up, fugu goes up to retrieve it, you won’t see the fruit landing in the background, please restore this beloved features, I really love hatch, please.Version: 1.83.25
✓ GoodThere’s no way to earn allot of acorns or coins. There needs to be an exchange for stickers I’ve got at least 5 of every one and still get more. I don’t see what people talk about with ads I’ve never gotten anything like that. Maybe do ads for acorns that’s be great so I can earn them to save up since you rarely get a couple 100 and most things cost over 200 acorns. Also if you buy a fruit for an amount then it should sell for that amount not every fruit sells for the same cheap price..Version: 1.83.11
✓ Missing Game MechanicsI love my Fugu but why did you remove so many mechanics from the game? Not only have you not added any new items to the store or new ways to interact but you removed a lot. Not the least of which is the wonderful way the background changed relative to changing positioning on the foreground. It is so much more static and less encompassing since you folks took over. Why ruin the marvelous game it used to be..Version: 1.83.25
✓ DisappointedOne of the help characters has frozen over the game making it difficult to play. Items look like you have to buy stars to get. Sorry, don't like..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Hatch!When I want to go on hatch I tap it then it goes back to home and like on the 4th try it works so please update and fix it please and do it now! Thank you.Version: 1.2
✓ Outta controlSince the new update, every time I pick up the poop, it keeps popping after...I can't even feed him! Please fix the bug!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Love The App, but..I noticed you no new updates for cool christmas stuff what gives.. it seems this app is dead. I wish we could save out pet with a login option incase ppl get a new phone to keep the same pet. I want to not have to restart my pet when that happens. Noticed the facebook page hasnt been posting much lately..Version: 1.8
✓ BoringNot very engaging given all the hype and very very buggy. Deleting it!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Would have been a 5 starsI used to love this game but I get it back and I’m only allowed to play 15 minutes then I have to subscribe to play how is that fair? I just wanted to play my favorite game again I’m not paying to subscribe the once free game thanks for the memories of my sweet Fugu Kyra I will miss you dearly.Version: 1.83.25
✓ Crashing!!!It's a good app and fun to play but recently I can't be on it for more than two minutes before it crashes and I have to start all over again!! Please sort this out! If this is fixed in the next update I will give a more positive review..Version: 1.2
✓ It's okFun to start off but it gets pretty boring quickly. I'd wait for a major update before paying for it..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Vacation?It's a good game, but since I work and have a busy life I sometimes don't open the app all day so my fugu runs away... It makes me feel guilty! I wish there was a vacation mode or something....Version: 1.2
✓ Why?Here's the deal. You can only feed it, pet it, pick up it's crap and keep buying blankets for it to sit on. There is absolutely nothing more to it than that. Oh and you'll get notifications to remind you when it's lonely. It doesn't grow, it doesn't breed, it eats, sleeps and poos I do just don't get it. More shockingly is that after just a few days playing with it...this app now occupies 467megabytes of data on my iPhone. How did that happen?! It's basically a wallpaper with an animated green slug!.Version: 1.2
✓ UpdatedI updated my app and now there are strange green and blue squares everywhere and its really annoying!!!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ ShallowI had signed up months ago and got a fugu on day one. But so far. Feed, clean and pet. That's it. No growth, interaction or games / fun activities. Shallow and losing interest already as it's just a mindless 30s interaction and then quit the app Clumsy ninja is a much better example.Version: 1.0.0
✓ The update screwed it upI love this game. I’ve had it for years. It’s always nice to see a smiling face when you open your phone. But I woke up this morning or open it and the screen sizing is messed up, the decorations don’t fit and I can’t scroll through my bag to feed mine. I hope you fix this. I really love the game..Version: 1.82.3
✓ Will be better with some tweakingNot a great game for someone who has their phone on charge for most of the day. Maybe make it an option not to put them to sleep?.Version: 1.0.0
✓ BoringGets really old and boring after a couple of days.Version: 1.1.0
✓ DisappointedWas eagerly waiting for this app. Have used it for a week and am sadly disappointed. It started off nicely and seemed to have potential but delivers little over the passage of time cept for a crying pet every morning. Feel like it was a waste of money..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Most boring game everNot even as good as a tamagotchi. All you do is feed him. Not even any mini games. You'd think for $2 the developers would at least make the game a little bit interactive. Don't waste your money..Version: 1.2
✓ Shop keeps selling the same blankets!! 😤😖😫When you introduced the sell back blanket option I thought "awesome" (finally a way to get rid of some unwanted items!) only to see them reappear in the shop constantly ever since!! It's driving me insane!!!! 😱😱😱😱 Everyday I check hoping to get some tree or ground decors but all I keep getting are the same old blankets!!! FIX IT PLEASE!!! I'm sure many others think the same as me!!! Backgrounds are more important than blankets!.Version: 1.3
✓ Kinda stupidHad been playing for one day and really enjoying this cute game, when suddenly I logged on and it tried to charge me £4.99 a month for a subscription, it’s a bit ridiculous to force you to pay for a subscription for a whole group of games when I’m only going to play this particular game, please fix this as it’s very frustrating.Version: 1.83.25
✓ Finally needs to dieThis was better off as an abandoned app then with the damage done by Game Club. The graphics don’t line up, they spam you if you give your real email, and the whole thing feels like it is worse every “update.” Don’t bother. I’ll be sad to finally delete my fugu, but he doesn’t deserve this treatment..Version: 1.83.7
✓ Boring me...2 weeks in and the app is getting very repetitive... wish there was more my fugu could do like taking it for walks or playing fetch..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Was greatWas an awesome game until I got to the one year mark and now it won't let me play because it keeps crashing.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Could be betterThis is a good app but the pet doesn't do much at all and is hard to earn stuff.Version: 1.1.0
✓ App crashingBecause of the new update, whenever I try to go into the shop the app crashes. I have never been affected by updates before..Version: 1.5.5
✓ BoringWaste of a dollar...all this creature does is eating, sleeping and pooping...😕.Version: 1.1.0
✓ PointlessOk, so it looks cute, but after registering and waiting over a year for this it's just a pointless tamagotchi copy. The developer must have spent all his time on PR and got a few good initial write ups, but when it comes to it it's just a waste of time, money and space on my phone. Could have been so much better..Version: 1.2
✓ Birthday doesn't work on iPhone 6 plusThe birthday celebrations and present do not work - try to open the present and the game crashes, very disappointing after a years playing.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Uh...So it worked fine...till the update was done now it doesn't even open.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Good but..Every time I exit the game it it restarts my whole adventure. So I have it hatched and fed and the gift shop is up then I exit it out and poof I have to hatch my fugu all over again.Version: 1.2
✓ Game is unfinishedGame desperately needs more contents, and by that, I don't mean the mats nor bags. As of right now, there are absolutely nothing to do after naming the pet. There are need to be more interactions, pet progression or simply fun stuffs to do. The feature list needs to be expanded horizontally not vertically..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Good, for the first 20 minutesSo, I played this game for 20 minutes and it was awesome. Then it said I had to subscribe. So, on other games, when it says to subscribe there is usually an X button, but here it said: Oops, your trial has expired. Sign up to GameClub to continue playing. If you can’t pay money for games, this game will only last you a mere 20 minutes..Version: 1.83.5
✓ Good, but could be moreIt's a lot of fun to play with your "Fugu" in this app for the first couple of days. It doesn't take long for you to run out of things to do or buy. I still enter the app every now and then, but it's certainly lost it's into tail appeal. Also, the heart effect that shows affection from your Fugu incorrectly displays when your Fugu is either licking the screen or sleeping. Just a minor detail that I thought would have been different. There also seems to be a bug with the grapes where picking them from the bag makes them get stuck in a layer and displays statically in the air above your Fugu. After a couple weeks my Fugu ran away. This app is simply too demanding from the user, so you're going to be punished if you can't make it on regularly. Big disappointment..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Boring - not enough contentI had high hopes for the game but am pretty disappointed overall. The play on guilt far exceeds the rewards and number of things you can do for fun in the game..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Good game but has some issuesPositives: +Great graphics and animation +A variety of different rugs and decor to collect +No in-app purchases available so it's also child friendly +A great app for all ages +Finding star coins, acorns and stickers around the screen can be enjoyable. Negatives: -I found that about 2 weeks into purchasing this app, it started to crash, only once or twice a day, but after a month now, it crashes about 5-10 times a day, meaning that I lose all of my progress from the last saving point, which can be really frustrating as it wastes time, spends a good while to come back up again and makes me lose my interest in it for a good while. -The game also has slow spells, where it goes all pausey meaning that I have to wait for a minute or two to allow it to go back to normal again. -The fruit on the trees sometimes remain as small buds on the trees and after two minutes or so pop up as the fully grown fruit. -The app could have a few more activities to do with the fugu, because at the moment it seems very dull and it's not quite living up to it's true potential. -Another negative is that it takes more than one swipe/click to go into the shop which can become really irritating when you can't move back to your fugu or into the shop for a number of repeated tries. If Impending can fix this app, I would be very happy as to give Hatch a five star rating, but as for now, it shall remain as three..Version: 1.2
✓ Big file junior funAt 434mb this is a big app and feels like it's missing quite a lot to justify keeping it installed. Tamagotchi for the modern era? Nope.Version: 1.2
✓ AnnoyingIt never told me that I would have to buy a subscription to play it, there is no way of playing unless you pay money, I’m annoyed that it didn’t tell me, I loved the game and would love to play it but I’m not paying just to play a game.Version: 1.83.13
✓ SuggestionsGood app but can you please make it more interactive eg. Ability to play with the pet, with a ball or some activities !!! Please.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Cute but BoringThe fugu is cute and makes you want a real pet pretty bad but after feeding it and petting it a few times it can get really boring. Updates might make this game better.Version: 1.0.0
✓ CoolHay can u guys make a update that allows you to chat with your fugu will respond to u Let me explain their will be a chat box at bottom u can text it to your fugu It will responed to u by text bobble And how do u get a Ooga doll for your fugu, I have ooga jump and hatch The ooga doll won't pop up in store piz help Thanks guys And can u make a refresh button in the shop for free pliz.Version: 1.4.4
✓ Love it butLove the game a lot but it has a serious crashing problem, at least for me with an older iPod. This is seriously annoying. Can't go a few minutes playing without it crashing. Please fix..Version: 1.2
✓ Has potentialNeeds more stats, mini games, activities, growth, different foods, water bowl.. The stickers and mats seemed like a big of cop out to get this thing on the AppStore, those things get boring fast..Version: 1.2
✓ NostalgiaI used to play this game a lot when I was younger for a couple ,e of years I’ve been buying new things and all that jazz, I come back here a couple of years later because I would love to have played this amazing game....no is basically what I got because now I have to pay for it? And it has ads.... I miss the old one, I know you have to make a profit but you ruined a beautiful game. Edit- well from what I’ve seen it didn’t work for most of the people here, I think you might wanna fix that.Version: 1.83.14
✓ Buggy, no options for export.Game has issues with the text speech bubble getting in the way of the background. Dialogue often sticks open. Game asks for real dollars, but gives no options for transferring a pet to a fresh device. Not worth the investment..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Boring and repetitiveThe "game" quickly becomes boring and repetitive. You wait for the fugu to wake then feed it and clean its poo until it goes back to sleep..Version: 1.0.0
