★★★★★ Trichotillomania
Sat Aug 25 2018 WhoopdoopieWhen I stumbled across this game, I couldn’t help but laugh. “A game about plucking your hair? This turns my disorder into some game, some sort of trivial thing”! Well... it did turn it into a game. Before I knew it, I was obsessed with the mini games that involved plucking at these small hairs. I just had to do it, to get onto the next level. And each emotion I came across just.. well, struck a cord with me. I just have to pluck it. I just have to pluck this SPECIFIC eyelash. I just have to, to feel better. To feel accomplished because I’ve finally gotten that tiny little hair! To help soothe me. And yet I feel disgusted once it’s out, and once that sense of relief and happiness is gone. And I’m fearful.. more often than not I feel like those eyes really are on me, that people are staring, and the phrases “what’s wrong with you?” And “can’t you just STOP?!” Come to mind. Because I can’t. And try as I might, I know that I deal with an issue and it makes me wrong and broken. But then it tells you that it’s okay, and that you need to pay attention to your mental health and get help. That it will, at the end of the day, get better.
I suffer with trichotillomania, and that will never change. And I will relapse, and that’s inevitable. But maybe.. just maybe if I tried to help myself more, and had others play this game and understand how I felt, without belittlement, I’d feel better and as if I’m just as normal as the next person.
If you suffer, play this game to help accept your disorder.
And if you don’t, play this game to better understand.
★★★★★ An Experience Everyone Should Have
Sat Jul 28 2018 Confused_GamerI’m not a very extroverted person. I’m very introverted, and prefer to keep myself and my emotions to me and only me. Some days, it’s easy and fine to deal with, but others it’s not. Today, the day I downloaded this game, was one of the latter days. For a moment, for a wonderful, inspiring moment, I was able to forget about the troubles of the day, and the troubles of life itself. This game brought a smile upon my face, and a heartwarming message I needed to hear. It taught me, through a fun and guiding experience, the importance of my emotions, and the importance of cherishing them. I can say for certain this game provided me with a stepping stone towards helping me improve with showing my emotions, and for that, I can’t thank this game, and it’s developers teams enough.
Thank you all, and you all have my gratitude for making such an incredible and heartwarming game. <3
★★★★★ Good, room to Improve.
Thu Apr 04 2019 charlotteozarkloverThis is by far one of the most amazing apps that I have come across. A unique, brilliant and beautiful concept. I definitely think that everyone should try this app. However, there is lots of room for improvement. The graphics could use a lot of work. They aren’t smooth and clean as shown in the pictures in the app store. The text looks very thick and uneven. I also think that it would be nice to incorporate more unique ways of the plucking. Calming down the angry fire hair and shaking the device were my favorites, I wish there were more like those. Much of this app was plucking hairs the same way and then having a little animation after, which I feel doesn’t really do much in terms of really connecting the consumer with experiencing the emotion. The “emotion” wasn’t so much in the experience of plucking the hair, but rather the animation with it. The obsessive emotion where the hair couldn’t be plucked was one of the few levels that really made me experience an emotion and value it. Wish more levels were like that as well. I am being very nitpicky here, if there are other consumers like me who are very choosy with their apps. Overall, this app was amazing and I’m glad to have played it.
★★★★★ Almost made me tear up at 3am
Sat Aug 24 2019 cheeperzCouldn’t sleep bc I’ve been dealing with a lot of heavy stuff in my life so I was trying to find a way to distract myself enough to fall asleep. This game actually did the opposite for me lol, ended up making me furious bc it’s hard to pluck the darn cord so that alone was irritating. I get that in some levels, you’re supposed to deal with the fact you can’t easily pluck it but I felt like it would have been more satisfying to pluck it quicker and not in a straight line down all the time.
Aside from the game mechanics, I was pretty satisfied. It’s meant to be simple, sentimental, and should be a metaphor for you and your emotions. There were stages that actually made me smile and one in particular (Anger) that was beautifully and simply made, I couldn’t deal. I for one deal with anger issues all the time, so it struck a chord with me. It’s not a game that’ll entertain you or anything like that. But more of a game that’ll remind you that yes, we’re all human, we let our emotions get the best of us. But we shouldn’t drown in them, rather check in on them and reason with them.
Good start to an execution, but I felt that it could also have done better. Beautiful game.
★★★★★ Definitely an acquired taste😐
Mon Aug 06 2018 Kawaii4Cuties!!!It could be interesting with a two important changes...
First and most important change- the voice! Please, please, please change the voice! Usually calm robotic female voices are used and it’s nice that there’s something different, but that thick accent or lack of smoothness in English will be the death of me (coming from a home with thick Mexican accents although my English is by far smoother). At least get a smoother male/female voice please. It’s not just my bias, but it’ll make the game seem more professional and less “I literally didn’t think of asking a single friend or using online voice actors”. I know indie games, but at least try to make it seem as we’ll put together as the stages themselves.
Second the transitions- it tries to share everything by taking a picture after the finished stage and it moves to each stage so slowly. I understand this is a patience game, but rather than making the game slow in that aspect, you can focus on the game stages. Give the game a reason by stating what the player must do, first impressions are important- it basically told us hairs were emotions and by plucking them *cue tutorial* NOTHING? Really? No claims to change after this game during the intro or anything the app summary preluded? I’m not impatient (literally a elementary teacher in the making here), just bored and not motivated to seek an answer by finishing the game since there was nothing of importance the voice of the game told us to do, the intro is supposed to have some sort of hook, I know hooks are hard and all but there didn’t even seem to be an attempt at any.
I see some people liked it and that’s good, but I hope a few bad reviews don’t discourage you, this is definitely something interesting for its starting place and I would like to try it again.
★★★★★ Random but I Loved it
Sun Sep 08 2019 HAK KeckThis is most likely the weirdest game I’ve ever played-and maybe the strangest one I’ll ever play. I’m giving it a 4 star only because the grip on the hair’s was a little difficult and it got a little frustrating, just a lil. While part of me thinks the developers were high when they made this, I think the message behind it is a good lesson. Some people see a game about plucking hairs, they see bad grammar (maybe that was intentional, I don’t know) and they see it as a game to pass time; I saw through that, and it looks like a lot of other people did as well. A great message; I only wish the graphics were a bit better, but you know what, this game had no annoying ads and I appreciate the fact that you guys were considerate and took time to make this game for others to learn something; so, at the end of the day, this game deserves 5 star. Thank you for creating it 👍🏻 P.S. I loved the voice.
★★★★★ Moving
Thu Jul 26 2018 AJoyfulJoyI've never really came across an app good enough to write a review. I downloaded this app just for the stimulation and to get my mind off of things and it honestly surprised me in the best way possible. At first I was confused, but with guidance and the voice added in the background it opened my eyes to something different and new to me. I didn't really expect to get that emotional over a game but the different categories of good and bad feelings definitely moved me. It gave me a different view of things and definitely calmed me, and gave me something to put other thoughts aside. The game was relatively short but it was nice and orderly with no ads. It kept you in a mood and it provided a valuable message and lesson. Personally, dealing with very expressive emotions and severe anxiety, I could relate to many of the feelings and I know others could to. Very good job. It brought me to tears.
★★★★★ A Note
Fri Feb 17 2023 heksgswhsnajehI enjoyed the game, what i don’t enjoy is the asking for money but then flexing like you try so hard to make the app free, because asking for $9 isn’t very uhm cool. I get it but come on youd invest more time if u really cared. I’ll say though, I smiled I laughed I loved the game. I just downloaded to play a game every time i want to smoke because i’m trying to quit and this game was helpful for that and it’s cute how it takes you through all the emotions. played with my bf too. he still smoked tho so it’s not very efficient for quitting for everyone. not that it’s advertised as so. but just a note. like title says. this is just suggestions. all love to the creator. thank u for app. thank u for ur time. but maybe update some more emotions there’s more than that. thank you for you’re love sorry i couldn’t give u money …. also uhm sorry i couldn’t leave you a very long review as i am short on time we’ll … i gotta run! see u later. imma have some fun !!?
