### 4/5 — I love this game.

*2021-03-29*

The puzzles are really clever, different and interesting. I’ve always liked their stories and artwork, this game is no exception. 
I’m on an 8th generation iPad, iOS 14.4.2 and had no issues with controls or glitches. The controls seemed totally intuitive to me. I guess I started with the updated version, though. I would absolutely recommend.
It is an exceptionally short game. It’d be really nice if they added to it. Even priced at a dollar, it’s a little short.

### 4/5 — 我觉得很不错

*2020-11-12*

价格不知道是不是因为那个评论所以低了 目前一元的价格真的是非常给力 性价比很高诶 画风很好质感我觉得很舒服😌
就是这个内容再多一点 就保持这个质感我觉得价格就可以贵了哈哈哈 说不难的我觉得吧前期这个难度OK 多加内容到后期增加难度 我就觉得真不错👍就是内容啊啊啊说不来希望能懂我大概意思吧

### 5/5 — Offloaded then reloaded

*2020-08-09*

After 3 days of frustration with the time rocket puzzle I gave up and offloaded the game. But I really liked the story and artwork so I reloaded the game, tried again and found the right clue (think path, not pattern). After you finish the game, click back to the beginning then click through the game to enjoy the story without any distraction from the puzzles.

### 3/5 — Stuck

*2020-07-15*

I’m stuck at the starry stamp.  Please help.

### 4/5 — Need a hint

*2020-06-25*

I like the illustrations and style of puzzles but I am stuck at the crystal ball. Help.

### 5/5 — So Different

*2020-04-19*

I am working through all your games. Very different, very enjoyable. I am on “a foreign land of us”. Totally stuck on the crystal ball, please help. Keep up the great work! Andy

### 5/5 — Excellent, but short game

*2020-04-12*

Really enjoyed this game. Found this after playing the Isoland series.  I disagree with the reviewer that said puzzles weren’t intuitive. I do agree that a “hint” feature would be helpful, but I only found myself stuck on the time rocket puzzle. I was able to retrace my steps and locate the clue. I love the storytelling, mood, art style, and music on this game. Thank you!

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2020-03-30, version 1.3*

Very good game

### 5/5 — Beautiful and lovely

*2020-03-22*

Beautiful story with interesting art and a heartwarming story. The puzzle are challenging but not too complex. A great example of simplicity done right.

### 3/5 — Good

*2020-03-18, version 1.3*

I liked it but way too short for a paid game

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2020-02-06*

It's like a dream, I got carried away.

### 4/5 — 轻松的小游戏

*2020-01-02*

故事很好很温情，玩的时候也很放松，就是有些关卡真的不知道该干什么，玩家卡住的时候希望给点提示。胖布丁加油啦

### 3/5 — 办公室游戏，轻松耍一耍，画面很让人舒适，游戏性不高

*2019-12-14*

一上午都是迷糊的，不想上班，看了看商店，封面一看就是迷失岛一家工作室的，于是就满怀期待的的买下来。每一页就是一关，没有很复杂费脑筋的关卡，不过不会像别人说的没有提示，只是不明显罢了，感觉其实只是在慢慢的讲故事的走向，音乐很用心了，不过解密性挺低。

### 1/5 — 这游戏是我见过最敷衍的

*2021-11-20*

没注意不小心支付后抱着玩玩试试的态度，本以为付费游戏体验感会强一些，但是整个游戏下来……就这？？？？？？中国人不骗中国人，这也好意思收费？？？
玩过再来垃圾广告无敌多的都没刻意评价过，这个是我真的忍不住了，我真不知道是哪里来的自信收费的，知道制作不容易，做游戏就好好做，别玩这套。
连核心的玩家体验感都不顾，讲真又不是自个儿做给自个儿打发时间玩的东西，都上架了，开发者和玩家起码是双向的东西，要做就好好做，不做就别做，消费情怀呢你搁这？
就有个感觉，真的，要么你去发小故事，要么去发画，别是不是东西都应要和游戏沾边。搞清楚自己的定位吧，反正我是吐了。

### 1/5 — Snow globe glitch

*2021-03-03*

Cannot advance beyond the snow globe. Tried shaking ‘like a snow globe’ every which way possible. Game is now stuck...will not open the trees to reveal house. So frustrating!

### 1/5 — Screw this game

*2021-01-23*

Worst controls EVER.

### 1/5 — Steal

*2020-06-03*

The game showed price as $0.99 but i was charged $4.99
I want my money back, i need to talk to customer service

### 1/5 — 实在是太差了，还好意思收费

*2019-11-30*

第一次游戏可以让我主动评分评论的，可玩性很低，比起前作简直差远了，是江郎才尽了？通关还以为是游戏开始了，题目太简单了，而且还少，还不如一些免费的解谜游戏，好差劲，一颗星都觉得多，半小时左右就通关了，我还以为是正式开始，结果通关结束了。实在是太差了太差了太差了！大家小心上当！

### 2/5 — 无语，失望。

*2019-12-06*

玩过南瓜先生和迷失岛，但没想到这个小游戏完全不是我预想中的质量。空洞无味，你还说这是温馨？这种文案、游戏内容和不知所云的鸡汤文字有什么区别？要为了解谜而解谜，大可不必做这么个小玩意浪费玩家时间。

### 2/5 — I can’t even get as far as the rocket…

*2019-11-26*

…the star on the plane is too frustrating, there needs to be a way to anchor the string (?  - looks more like loo roll) to the pegs. I have fibromyalgia and am not dexterous enough to get it to stay put. 

This is the problem with this developer’s games, they are frustrating and confusing, I found both Isoland games confusing (they did have hints, but you had to pay for ‘hint packs’ - and that after paying for the game. A tad greedy, I think…).

Having no contact, other than social media, does nothing to endear the developer to me, either.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2022-12-04*

Kind of hokie. I like creepy Cotton 🤷‍♀️

### 3/5 — Stuck

*2022-08-31*

Challenging but stuck at the snow globe :(

### 3/5 — This would be great I’m sure

*2021-03-25*

I have played many games from this company and they are truly wonderful. This time, however, playing “A foreign land” I’m so frustrated then I’m going to quit. There is one part where you have to scoot a string around pegs to make a shape of a man. You do this by sliding your finger across the iPhone “Nudging it”. The only problem is that the way they have a situated, it’s right where one would use that same gesture to close the app. So it’s not that it’s difficult to do the movement of the string, but rather to keep the app open. I’ve tried 10 times— I’m done :(
I tried contacting cotton game but was unable to do so on their site.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-05-31*

Finished in around two hours. Tricky but great game

### 5/5 — 玩得很开心很放松

*2022-03-12*

整个故事情节还有画面互动方式都有趣又治愈，其实没有提示才让体验这么悠闲惬意，慢慢地去探索，即使是去看攻略也是从别人那里借鉴到新视角，真挚地感谢开发团队，也祝福你们

### 5/5 — Gorogoaが好きな人は好きかも💖

*2021-03-06*

結構すぐ終わります。私はGorogoaが好きなのでこのパターンのゲームは好きですね。
絵も可愛いし。

### 5/5 — Вполне неплохо

*2021-02-13, version 1.3.1*

По рублю за минуту игры, выходит. Прошла за четверть часа) 
Полноценной игрой это не назовёшь, но как способ занять себя по пути на работу/учебу - очень даже ничего) 

Обычно в играх от cotton конец игры - совсем не конец, а новое начало. Можно начать заново и получить новые головоломки. Здесь такого нет, что несколько разочаровало. 

Русский язык присутствует. В настройках можно потыкать пальчиком по разным языкам и посмотреть символичные картинки) Как и всегда)

### 5/5 — Translate

*2020-12-27, version 1.3*

Please translate the text into Russian!!!
I don’t want to play such a wonderful game without knowing what it is about.
Thanks!)))
Пожалуйста переведите текст на русский язык. Не хочется играть в такую чудесную игру не зная о чем идёт речь.
Спасибо!)))

### 5/5 — Beautiful heartfelt story/puzzler

*2020-12-05*

It’s so far removed from crappy homescapes/candy crush fodder that I can forgive its occasional clunky click and drag controls. (I have played this on a small screen iPhone 7 though so I’m sure on an iPad this isn’t an issue) This is not a game to power through and rush. Appreciate the story, take your time and relax. Any adult who needs hints or help must be really lazy. Just utilise your grey cells instead of asking google for a change! Well done to the devs. Please make more!!!

### 5/5 — Quiet, sweet, lovely

*2020-11-30*

Cottongame story puzzle games are the absolute best. They are works of art you can get inside.

### 5/5 — Delightful

*2020-10-22*

Sweet journey with charming graphics and music, I really enjoyed this. The tasks are very simple and straightforward so can be over-thought, which maybe why people get stuck. Happened to me with the typewriter, not because I didn't solve it immediately, but because I was pressing the wrong key to”input” so repeatedly tried fiendish answers, when it was actually the first thing I’d thought - very frustrating, so I get why people need some sort of feedback/hint to show they are on the right track. Enjoyed it, nonetheless.

### 5/5 — Simple but elegant

*2020-08-23, version 1.3*

A simple game with lovely sketches.

### 5/5 — An excellent but short enjoyable game.

*2020-08-17*

Enjoyed this. A pleasant story.  Very thought provoking puzzles. No hints, but clues do abound if you search around.  I had to backtrack a few times to find the clues I missed. Keep poking this and that, sliding this way or that, something will give and you will eventually land at the games end!  Would have preferred this game to last longer but I am not disappointed,  it was a fun, graphically pleasing adventure with a pleasant sound track.
