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. -- 0therBen, 2020-02-03 ### *---- "Burly men at sea" Confusing. Too much duplication. No direction.Too hard to figure what to do to open up the tales. -- dalelead, 2020-02-03 ### *---- "Waste of money" T h i s I s an Incredibly b o r ing long winded story. I don’t want to play a game where it takes 10-15 minutes just reading dialogue and uninteresting dialogue at that. F -- MichelleKetring, 2019-05-31 ### ***** "Arrrrr" th' game be amazin' anyone who doesn’t play it will be in jail -- trumps lackeys, 2019-04-01 ### **--- "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. -- Puzlelover, 2019-01-26 ### ***** "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. -- marcusdiddle, 2018-10-15 ### *---- "Boring" This game had cool graphics but the story is very boring -- fLoofy :D, 2018-06-27 ### ***-- "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. -- Hunter0215, 2018-04-14 ### *---- "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. -- Ultra Gold Bee, 2018-03-03 ### ***** "Amazing" Great it’s worth the money -- wzerxtcyvubio, 2017-11-26 [View all Burly Men at Sea reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Burly Men at Sea Available In -
