### 2/5 — 12块买了个bug

*2026-06-29*

第四个大门那里打开明明是对的，一直有bug进不去，重启好几次了不明白为什么

### 2/5 — It won’t even let me buy the game

*2025-03-28, version 3.0.5*

I got to the door on the boat but I can’t progress any further because it won’t let me buy the game. I hit “Buy” and it just says “Be patient” and nothing happens.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2022-07-28, version 1.8.2*

Wonderful, beautiful and challenging! Loved it.

### 3/5 — 购买后打开，再填入个人实名信息就动不了了！什么时候啊？！！

*2022-07-10*

都不知道去哪里联系客服来解决，绝了！

### 5/5 — Wow

*2022-04-21, version 1.8.2*

One of the most underrated games I have ever played I played all the isoland games and this is by far the best one love your work cotton and I hope you continue this saga

### 5/5 — 可以的

*2022-03-16*

画风很熟悉 从1开始打 打到3 有的人说登不进去可能是手机的问题 挺好玩的 什么时候能出4 快出4快出4 3都打完一年多了

### 3/5 — 实名注册bug

*2021-08-23*

实名注册点击确定后没有反馈 一直保持实名注册的界面 反复退出登录无效

### 5/5 — Smashed it !

*2021-08-03, version 1.6*

Fun gameplay, interesting storyline and difficulty is at about the right level

Very minor glitch when the text bubbles are too big they sort of vibrate but has no effect on the game and isn’t an issue 

Game developers smashed it !

### 3/5 — Could be a really good game

*2021-07-25, version 1.6*

Could be a really good game with great graphics and sometimes tough puzzles, but you have to replay essentially the same game with mostly the same puzzles to finish. Second time around was boring despite the few differences. I wish this dev would stop doing this and make one really good game inclusive of all. Definitely not worth the money.

### 2/5 — 太贵

*2021-06-28*

虽然是一系列的故事，但解谜没有之前的有意思，音乐风格很喜欢，如果能加长故事线就好了，太短了。

### 3/5 — 为什么我没玩就会有60分钟在线时间

*2021-06-06*

我每天登录，都显示我在线60分钟了，可是我根本就没有玩。

### 1/5 — 一直不跳付款窗口

*2025-10-15*

一直在查询价格是什么鬼，倒是让我付钱啊

### 1/5 — 根本进不去游戏！别买！

*2023-01-19*

我真服了，退钱吧。垃圾实名认证还一直认真失败，12块钱连游戏都打不开，就没一个人修复bug？

### 1/5 — Stick.

*2022-12-24, version 1.8.2*

I really enjoyed the first two versions, and was looking forward to this. I thought I had worked out how to play this game...but no. I’ve restarted it five times but still get stuck early on with a stick that doesn’t do what it is meant to do. Despite paying for hints, it doesn’t act like a match to light the man’s fire, and I can’t see any way of transferring it to the bonfire. Disappointed and deleted. Dellers.

### 1/5 — 不值

*2022-11-26*

12块钱的游戏2个小时就玩完了，趣味性一般

### 1/5 — 编剧时间这么短。。。。。

*2022-03-19*

难度可以，时间太短了，就大半天就玩完了，时间也就值得3块钱，亏大发了

### 1/5 — 实名认证

*2022-02-22*

实名认证，填完信息后，确认不了是咋回事

### 1/5 — 真垃圾。

*2021-10-03*

一个白鸟一个这个，真的垃圾，乱码七糟，为了谜题而谜题，12元收的理直气壮吗？？？要不就别出，出了收费就做好点！

### 1/5 — 游戏拉垮花样还多

*2021-06-27*

一个单机游戏还要搞实名认证，防沉迷，没听说过，不过现在长见识了，👎

### 1/5 — 实名认证

*2021-06-14*

你倒是给我通过呀！填完信息就进不去下一步了，搁这骗钱呢！

### 1/5 — 乐色

*2021-03-03*

乐色，不看攻略玩个毛线，一点交互也没有。

### 5/5 — ติดต่อทีมงาน

*2025-07-12, version 3.0.5*

ได้โปรดทำภาษาไทยได้มั้ย ฉันติดตามซื้อผลงานของคุณทุกเกมส์เล่น แต่ยากที่ภาษา ช่วยทำภาษาไทยได้มั้ย

### 5/5 — Worth playing over and over. ;)

*2025-05-28, version 3.0.5*

I’m in love with the Isoland saga and every game this studio produces is pure gold. 10/10

### 5/5 — 玩1-3之后的感想

*2025-01-07*

玩结束了1-3，外星人的生命快要走向终结，外星人对于人类为什么能延续这么久很好奇，于是搭建了这个试验场，爱、艺术和好奇心是人类非常重要的三个点，也是外星人观察的内容？那个戴红色帽子的小男孩我感到好奇，他的身份是什么

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2024-02-18, version 1.8.2*

Enjoyed playing this game a lot

### 5/5 — Cute, fun and adventurous

*2024-02-15, version 1.8.2*

Cotton games series are all my favourite!

### 5/5 — HARD!

*2023-09-23, version 1.8.2*

I love the collection of ISOLAND games, however this one was a little tricky for me! I could not for the life of me find the final flower. I waited for the timer on each flower to end too, however nothing worked. I finished all the achievements bar that one darn flower! 
So the game didn’t complete for me in round 2, it only took me to the sky in the diamond Alien saucer. 
The flying ship didn’t end up taking off either after round 2. I gave a feeling it’s because I didn’t find that final flower. So I gave up and deleted the app. 
I still loved the game, I just hate not completing things! :/

### 5/5 — Good game

*2023-08-10, version 1.8.2*

Brilliant. But i cannot unlock the last achievement. I saw video on Youtube and click the Folder in secret password computer but nothing happens. Hope it will be fixed

### 5/5 — 好画风和故事都不错就是太短了

*2023-06-25*

这几天一口气完了四部，故事情节世界观还有画风真的都不错的，下载量那么少可惜了，希望多出几部或者是多出解密游戏，真的很喜欢，就是耐玩性不强一两个小时就过关了，下次整长一点的！

### 5/5 — 还是很好的

*2022-12-12*

其实没有有些评论说的那么不堪，有人说流程短，其实我觉得只是时间的灰烬流程长，才让不少人有些失望吧

### 5/5 — 上了飞船解不开四步

*2022-08-25*

不管我试了，多少种方法！我就是不能再四步之类，把它变成一样的颜色。
