One of the BEST games ever
Mon Apr 27 2020 Lou in Louisville

No exaggeration either. The characters are endless, each unique and with their own special sounds, are the cutest of any game I’ve played, of course, after the characters in Samorost 3 - by the same developer. I can’t even describe in words how well this game is made. It boggles my mind that those developers, whose heads popped out of the jack-in-the-box, came up with the ideas in this game. It’s unlike any game I’ve ever seen or played. It’s so unique, imaginative, beautiful, creative, and I could go on and on. It took me all day to complete the game and it was so much fun the entire time. I laughed out loud so many times. I can’t get over how well done this game is!!! It’s THAT GOOD. This game (and Samorost 3) are my favorite games of all time and I highly recommend them if you are looking for a great game with hours of play time. I’ve played every game by Amanita and I’m eagerly awaiting Creaks. Thanks to the devs for making the absolute best games out there!

Talk about an outer body experience kind of game

Can I just say that whoever came up with the idea/plot and visuals of this game are absolutely whole heartedly talented people!!!! The way you figure out the puzzles and the different worlds and different creatures... I could just go on and on. Figuring out the puzzles really put your brain to work while giving you a sense of actually playing a game at the same time. Wow. I definitely recommend it you guys. I bought the bundle pack and am currently on Machinarium, so Samorost will be last. Can’t wait to see more from these developers. (An under the sea version would be to die for, give me a cut if you use this idea please lol -no but seriously.) Ana

Best game I've played

I just finished the app games and wished they were more. This app really capture my attention, thought provoking and keep my desire to keep playing. The attention to detail animation, cool graphics, fun puzzles and strategy games keeps me playing and feel good about myself when I successfully attain each level. I'm not one who spends a lot of time on apps but this app is great! Even my 8yr old son loves it. It's definitely for all ages. More levels please .. I'll miss these little things of friends... woo hoo! Very nice creation and looking for forward to more apps from this company.

Wait, where is my save?

I was super excited to play this game but I think it needs more clear menu icons and choices. HOW DO I SAVE?? I got the game today and it seriously is such an amazing concept with beautiful graphics. I played until I was half way through finding the keys and then I went to do homework. I got back and I was back at the beginning! I really don't want this to happen again because that it one of the most frustrating things in a game. Also, the sounds of the characters are a bit loud. Overall, I want to play this game for as long as I can but I don't want to risk my save being lost. I'd really like some clarification on how to save or an update if it doesn't exist. That's why I'm giving it 4 starts for now. Great job!! EDITED: it's about a week or two later and honestly I'm so annoyed. I really want to play this whole game but I'm always sent back to the very beginning when I was at part 6. Can anyone help me maybe tell me why this is happening or can you guys maybe try to improve that? Once that is fixed I would love this game but right now it's just frustrating and I can't play because I know I'll be sent back again.

Please make more!

I've had this game for over a year but this is the first time I persisted and got all the way thru. Yay, me! Now I'm sorry it's over. It is absolutely charming and one I'd happily share with my grandkids. Seniors like me aren't too keen on the mostly gruesome and gory adventure/escape games. Amanita seems to get that with Machinarium and Samorost. The challenges are pretty intuitive in what you need to do, although some walkthrough help was needed to see just how to do. But all are doable. Will return to this someday in the future. But please make more! And can you make Samorost 1 & 2 playable on iPads, please?

One of the most wonderful games I’ve played ever

This is a fabulous game that requires patience, thought, and attention. You help a little posse of a seed and his friends to save a tree. The graphics, the storyline, the puzzles are all so richly entertaining and rewarding. You cheer along with the posse as you save the tree from the scourge. I write this with a tinge of sadness; I have played this on-and-off since January and I finally finished, wanting to take each step on its own. And now I am done...and I am sad. Thank you to the very talented and inspiring developers for Botanicula!

Loved this!

Amanita Designs has come out on Apple Arcade. I’d never heard of them before, being a Mac girl. They are so creative with their characters, organic imagery, and music. I did need help but didn’t mind going back through. It would have been helpful to have a map, which I think the Steam version had. The last chapter is quite the labyrinth. And somewhere to get clues or a nudge, which Somorost 3 has, but wasn’t clear what you are meant to do. (The eye puzzle opens the clue book).

Missing bee plant

In the first part in the first area where you have to get the wheat grains for the flying thing, there’s some plants that summon bees however one of the plants are missing, and you have to get them to get a card and without that one plant you can’t get that card, im not sure if it was removed and I need another way to get that card but if you can please reply to my review
