### 5/5 — Botanicula 2?

*2026-08-07, version 1.1.23*

Peak game, got this game when i was 5 on the family ipad and 8 years later i came back to finish and beat the game lol

### 5/5 — Beautiful Game

*2026-07-17, version 1.1.23*

The game is truly awesome, it had easy and hard puzzles to solve but there were also some moments that I didn’t really like about the game. One off the this things was when I reached level six. When I started talking to lady that lost children teleported to their mother without me finding them, and my characters duplicated. While first five plants went up to level seven the second part went to find the children that were already found. This bug was stuck like this before I resumed the game. But overall I really enjoyed playing Botanicula and I really recommend this game for those who love nature and interesting puzzles

### 4/5 — I like this game

*2026-07-08, version 1.1.23*

Botanicula is my favorite game because I like to find all cards in the game,there is like 123 cards I could find in this game but I don’t know how to get the cards that I don’t know how to get and I have 93/123 cards, but I deleted it and start over again to refind all the cards, but this game was cool and I like the five tree creatures most of them looks adorable and cute.

### 5/5 — Why are so many people complaining

*2026-05-22, version 1.1.23*

It is the BEST game ever. I don’t understand why people are complaining, just watch a video. Then it is made to keep you entertained, but you want a story, it is just a game.

### 5/5 — Best game for kids that want a challenge

*2026-04-18, version 1.1.23*

It’s so cute and hard I love it

### 5/5 — 도와주세요ㅠ

*2026-04-14*

### 5/5 — 123

*2026-02-15*

### 4/5 — Не запускается

*2026-01-19*

Игруха не запускается. Черный экран и всё...

**Developer response:** Hi there, sorry to hear about the trouble. Try deleting the game and downloading it again. If this does not fix the issue, try restarting your device. We hope this helps! Let us know, thank you.

### 5/5 — 3歳から遊べる

*2026-01-12*

この制作チームの他のゲームが好きで全部購入してクリアしましたが、ボタニキュラは全然やり方が分からず後回しにしてました。そしたら興味を持った3歳の息子が色々操作してくれてやっと楽しみに気づきました。テニスの試合だけは私が助けています（泣き止まない姿を観て息子ももらい泣きしてました）、4歳になった息子は1年間飽きずに何度も繰り返しプレイし続けています。めちゃくちゃ元取れました。

### 5/5 — Восторг

*2025-10-26*

восхитительная игра. Дочь сказала, если бы она встретила того человека, который ее создал (я поправила ее, команда создателей) то она бы похлопала им в ладоши. Так что вот. Аплодисменты 👏👏👏👏
