This is one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played. However, in order to finish the game I had to go look up a game walkthrough online as there is no “clues”, and some of the steps/ puzzles are not exactly obvious. Still, stunning! ### 3/5 — Not intuitive, not logical *2026-05-28, version 1.17* Spent most of the time looking up cheats which is not fun for me ### 3/5 — Could use more finesse to the controls *2026-02-02* I liked the feeling of the illustration and enjoyed the game play. I didn’t find it overly well suited to the phone size screen. The item menu at the top constantly conflicted with the notification menu. Control of movement of the can and the items in games was at times frustrating. ### 2/5 — iPhone 11 *2026-01-04* Не на весь экран ### 5/5 — Très joli jeu *2025-12-08* J'ai passé un bon moment, merci! ### 5/5 — Absolut empfehlenswert *2025-12-01* Eine liebevoll gestaltete Grafik. Interessante lösbare Rätsel. KEINE nervige Werbung und KEINE InApp Abzocke. Der Kauf ist das Geld absolut wert. Vielen Dank und weiter so. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank! ### 5/5 — Круто! *2025-11-27, version 1.17* Люблю такі атмосферні ігри. Дуже сподобалось! ### 5/5 — Wirklich niedlich *2025-11-24* Tolles Adventure Game! Ja die Rätsel sind jetzt nicht wie bei „The Room“. Es gibt auch keine Hilfefunktion mit Tipps oder Überspringen wirklich kniffliger Rätsel! Aber wenn man mal feststeckt, hilft ein Walkthrough Video auf youtube. Es ist ohne Sprache. Die Interaktion mit den Personen geschieht über eine kurze Bildergeschichte. Dann weiß, man wie man der Person helfen muss, damit die Story weitergeht. Habe mir auch schon den 2. Teil geholt. Da sind die Rätsel sogar noch kniffliger. Endlich mal ein gutes Spiel, das nicht Wucherpreise möchte. Mir hat es Spaß gemacht. **Developer response:** Thank you❤️ ### 5/5 — Гра супер! *2025-11-12, version 1.17* Все сподобалось, головоломки складні, цікаві. Підтримуйте українське ### 5/5 — Cute and fun *2025-10-13, version 1.17* Enjoyable little puzzle game. I loved the art and animation. Could figure it out without needing to look stuff up which was nice. Perfect balance of easy and challenging. Such a creative concept! ### 5/5 — Rare gem *2025-09-23* It’s not often I come across such a rare and rewarding gem. The beautiful and unique art pulled me in where the enduring story line along with the inviting design, creative layout and challenging puzzles captivated me fully. I was enthralled! Can’t wait to try other experiences by this amazing artistically talented team. Loved it! **Developer response:** Thank you! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Неплохо) *2025-09-13* В целом неплохо, хотелось бы чуточку подлиннее и посложнее. Ну или пилите больше продолжений ) ### 3/5 — Nicht für iPad gemacht *2025-09-02* Sorry, aber es ist einfach fies, wenn man Symbole im Menü falsch deutet und das Spiel fängt ganz von vorn an und man kann nicht mehr zurück. Stunden an Spielzeit einfach so verloren. Leider ist hier vieles falsch: Manche Szenen nutzen nur ca. 50% des Bildschirms. Bedienelemente sind teils winzig, wie die Tasten am Fahrstuhl, die sind nur 3x5 mm groß. Gut für den, der einen Apple Pencil hat. Alle anderen fummeln sich einen weg. Man kann Rätsel nicht überspringen. Schade, es war ansonsten ganz witzig ### 5/5 — Lovely game *2025-08-29* Now these are the sort of thought provoking interesting games that just beat the hell out of Candy Crush and all those other mind numbing 'pastimes'. The developers have designed a very achievable challenge and like other games, such as Machinarium and Unit 404, you get a nice sense of fulfillment when you finish. I didn't need any help with this game, though some challenges required a little time and experimentation to solve. However, this is a game to play slow and steady, not complete in the shortest possible time. Absolutely loved it. On to Boxville 2. **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Très bien *2025-08-27* Très bien mais un peu court. ### 5/5 — Art, Music, Story *2025-08-24, version 1.17* Well written wordless story filled with relaxing, well made music with a positive story. Was the perfect game to play with my 5 year old. Slava Ukraine from a Russian American. Buying Boxville 2 ### 4/5 — Cute little game *2025-08-21* I enjoyed this little game. Although there were some bits where I had to use a walkthrough because it wasn’t so obvious what to do with some things. A lot of similar games have an option to get a clue if this happens. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback 💙 ### 5/5 — I have to use a walk-through website to beat this game😭😭😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 *2025-08-02, version 1.17* A walk-through had to help me through this game and the game is very good. The artwork is amazing. The story is amazing and I like the artwork. I just said that and the character designs are amazing. ### 5/5 — Lovely game *2025-07-29* One of my favorite games, I loved everything about it and the graphics are so lovely. I can't wait to play the 2nd one. **Developer response:** Thank you! ❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Короткая *2026-02-14* Игра короткая, плюс очень похожа игра на игру ананасовый цирк, сюжет слизан, за что отдала деньги не знаю. **Developer response:** Игра Boxville выпущена в 2022 году. Игра Woolly boy and the circus (Ананасовый цирк) выпущена в 2025 году. Кто на кого похож? ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work properly :( *2025-06-23, version 1.17* I really was excited for the game. However I couldn’t even go past the first few tasks. The game just simply froze and nothing could’ve fixed it ### 1/5 — So many game breaking glitches. Don’t waste your money. *2024-08-14, version 1.17* There are so many glitches and bugs that prevent progress beyond the second area, about 10 minutes in to the game. Like cutting the wire before watering the dead plants, or not being able to grab items from the trash. Go back and fix this, the genius who pushed this game out too early should 100% be fired. And if tithe the developer reading this: don’t ask me to email you the list of bugs. That’s a waste of my time and I’m not going to do your work for you. That’s literally your job. I wish I could send this directly to the game developer. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-07-07* The controls are rubbish ### 1/5 — Game is glitched *2024-03-25* I exited the game a few minutes after opening it, and when I came back some time later, it was frozen. I could access the inventory, but the little can guy was gone, along with all the other characters, and all that was left was the background. The flame glitched shortly after the “can dog” jumps down from the house. I tried closing and reopening the game, turning off my device and turning it back on, as well as deleting the app and redownloading. **Developer response:** Please contact us at hi@triomatica.games and we’ll try to help. ### 1/5 — BUG!! *2024-03-23, version 1.17* I just downloaded the game and now the red coin has disappeared from my inventory and I can't get the coin out of the washing machine!! Now I don't know what to do and I can't restart the game! In short I am stuck and can't get the red coin back!! What happened?? If this is not resolved I would like my money back. ### 1/5 — Booooooo *2024-01-11, version 1.16* You erased all my progress with the newest update! Not worth playing over again. ### 1/5 — Still doesn’t save *2023-12-26* Just purchased, hoping that the problems reported from years ago had been fixed. Nope. Still doesn’t like saving the game. Reluctant to try again and waste time. Seems as if no updates are happening any more, so this is likely to be something permanent now. Shame, it looked promising. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you have experienced some issues. Save system works for sure. Please contact us at hi@triomatica.games and we will try to help you with your issue. ### 1/5 — Gave up during the tutorial *2023-12-11, version 1.13* Well I tried for about an hour to get that dust mop the size of an eyelash into the game screen and then deleted. Let me know if the controls get easier to use on a phone ### 1/5 — Нічого особливого *2023-09-20, version 1.13* Керування і взаємодія з предметами жахлива ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 머시나리움같아요 *2026-06-21* 1. 게임 내 힌트가 있었으면 해요 i need hint in game 2.엘베 너무 많이 왔다갔다해서 동선 가이드좀 ### 5/5 — Charming, beautiful, and calming *2026-06-20* As others have said, it is reminiscent of Machinarium, one of my favorite games. The art is beautiful, the characters are charming, the puzzles are just right, and the story is compelling. This is a calming, non-violent, low stress game that encourages you to notice the world and the characters rather than rush from puzzle to puzzle. It’d be a great family game to play with young kids. The music is also spot on. I liked helping the other characters and defeating the bullies, and the surprise part of the ending is delightful. **Developer response:** Thank you ❤️ ### 5/5 — Lovely Game *2026-04-07, version 1.17* I loved this game. Fun puzzles and quirky characters. Very short though. ### 5/5 — Nota 10 *2026-03-22* Jogo muito satisfatório em jogar muito bem feito ### 5/5 — Top *2026-03-07* Bom nível de dificuldade com progressão lógica dos fatos **Developer response:** Obrigado! ### 5/5 — Чудова гра *2026-03-06, version 1.17* Дуже цікава гра, яка однозначно притягне вашу увагу. Піду за другою частиною ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-02-22* In the perfect footsteps of Machinarium and others, Boxville doesn’t put a foot wrong. It delivers character, art and puzzles wonderfully and I’m super happy I’ve bought this and the sequel. Keep them coming! ### 5/5 — tolles Aventure *2026-02-01* liebevolle Grafik, knifflige Rätsel, tolles handyspiel! ### 5/5 — Very good puzzle game!! *2026-01-29* This game give the vibe of the amanita design games because of its art style and similar puzzle mechanisms. I also like how the characters are soda cans! ### 5/5 — Perfectly delightful game *2026-01-07, version 1.17* I loved playing this tricky little game. I look forward to the next one! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
