Oh my gosh at first I was struggling when I first got this app, but then my dad showed me how to use it and I absolutely love this app. It helps me calm down whenever I feel stressed and overwhelmed just by opening and playing with that and helps me whenever I feel angry or annoyed or frustrated or just sad and all sorts of stuff so do you wanna save this app is really really good. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone out there and keep on making apps like this one in the future.
When 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.
This 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.
Couldn’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.
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.
This 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.
