best little adventure game

If the terms "heartwarming" and "adventure game" don't go together in your book, get this one. The puzzles are just challenging enough to keep you occupied, but more importantly, you'll fall in love with the characters you meet along the way (and the funny little sounds they make). This kept me entertained while traveling and gave me the warm fuzzies at the same time. Highly recommended!
THE most original game...

I have ever played on iOS. An utter delight for the eyes and ears and mind! Thank you, Amanita Design, for giving us such a treat! I can't wait to dig into your other games. Please keep churning them out! Botanicula 2, perhaps?
Artsy game

This is an interesting game. It has incredible graphics, I enjoyed the soundtrack and it's actually entertaining. The puzzles are a good level of hard but not frustrating unless you omit to interact with a piece in the game. It would be awesome if you make more chapters because it's that good. I would buy another chapter. Well done.
Glitches

I get to certain points and can't proceed (I know what it is I'm supposed to do, but the game just gets stuck). I started all over and then the game stuck at an even earlier point. Frustrating waste of money.
Decent Little Adventure Game

Botanicula follows the industry standard rules for adventure puzzle games: the game won't let the player characters die and won't let the player do anything that prevents him from solving the puzzles and winning the game. Where Botanicula differs is in the puzzle controls. In Myst, nearly all of the puzzle controls are familiar and simple: buttons, levers, sliders, switches. In Botanicula, most of the controls are the bizarre organisms that populate the game world. On a tablet, a player operates Botanicula's controls by the same tapping and dragging used in other apps, but the player must find the organisms that can be manipulated, which are sometimes hidden behind leaves, and then must figure out how to manipulate them. That is the bulk of the gameplay. Once the controls are identified and the way to operate them has been discerned, there usually isn't much more in the way of puzzle solving to do. There was also one annoying and pointless arcade mini-game that must be won to continue, something that has no business being in a puzzle game. After all, the market is already saturated with arcade games for people who like them. I don't know why Amanita keeps putting at least one arcade mini-game in each of their puzzle games, but I wish they would just STOP. Minus one star for that. The puzzles aren't likely to stump experienced gamers for long, but gameplay is surprisingly satisfying. The graphics are colorful and have a quirky appeal. The sound effects for some puzzles are annoying, but on the whole, the game has a pleasant, relaxing vibe.
Perfect.

It's the first puzzle type of game I have played in a while and truly enjoyed. The characters are cute and funny and the challenges are just hard enough!
