### 5/5 — Nice game

*2024-01-21*

UPD
Everything works OK now, thanks! 👍
The game is very nice!
However translation into Russian is just stupid

At the very beginning after clicking the battery, it doesn’t appear in the inventory. So further actions are just not available, and the game hangs. iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17.1.2 Please fix, I look forward to playing.

**Developer response:** Hello, please try playing the game after updating to the latest version 1.0.2. We have addressed this bug in the new release. Thank you for your support!

### 5/5 — Another excellent adventure from Cottongame

*2024-01-18*

Beautiful graphics, challenging puzzles, intriguing adventure and engaging music make this a continuation of all the wonderful content that Cottongame creates.  There are even some popular song lyrics woven in.  A masterfully done, clever game.  Worth every cent, and then some.

### 5/5 — Супер😊

*2024-01-18*

Вы лучшие👍

### 5/5 — Isoland FTW

*2024-01-18*

Isoland for the win! My very favorite point and clicks, surpassing Rusty Lake. Wonderful puzzles, artwork, music, overall vibe. I think I got to the end, but online walkthroughs show a bit more to the game - a room behind ouroborous, for example.

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-01-16*

Impossible de commencer le jeu, pas de récupération de la pile 🥺

Mise à jour très rapide suite au bug, jeu super comme tous les ISOLAND, j’attends avec impatience le suivant. BRAVO

**Developer response:** Bonjour, veuillez essayer de jouer à nouveau après avoir mis à jour vers la dernière version 1.0.2. Nous avons corrigé ce bogue dans la nouvelle version.

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2024-01-15*

Nice game, not finished yet 😁

**Developer response:** Hello, please try playing the game after updating to the latest version 1.0.2. We have addressed this bug in the new release.

### 5/5 — 独特の世界をまた楽しめました

*2024-01-15*

Cottongameさんの独特の世界をまた楽しめました。
言語は英語とだけありますが、日本語版で出来ました。セリフがヒントにもなってます。翻訳がちょっとあやしい？部分もあるかもですが、クリアするのには問題なかったです。
もう新作は出ないのかなと諦めてたので嬉しかった。

### 5/5 — 2 for 1 — Great fun

*2024-01-15*

Initially I could play the game on my iPad (iPadOS 17.2) and was really frustrated. 

On a whim I installed it on my iPhone.  I was finally able to play the game. It was so much fun that I decided to play it again. Quickly I realized that when played for a second run the game will have some additional rooms to explore, different items to pick up, as well as some variations on the how to solve tasks.

Makes me want to replay the older games again.

### 5/5 — Best of the ISOLAND series

*2024-01-14*

Very engaging,  all the puzzles made sense, and the aesthetics is as pleasing as ever.

### 4/5 — Tolles Game

*2024-01-14*

Nach dem Update funktioniert alles wie es soll.

### 5/5 — Nach Aktualisierung hat das Spiel funktioniert

*2024-01-14*

Nach Aktualisierung hat das Spiel funktioniert. Danke dafür. 
Ich liebe die Grafik und die Stimmung im Spiel. Die Rätsel sind gut lösbar, sodass man den Spaß nicht verliert. 
Ich mag die ganze Reihe.

### 5/5 — Yes!!!

*2024-01-14*

Update: there are now some walkthroughs available and I was able to proceed. This is an amazing game with so much to explore and enjoy! I do wish it had a hint feature, but overall it’s the best game I’ve played in a very long time. 

 absolutely love the old school Cotton games and I’m so glad they went back to their roots with this one! The game functions flawlessly and I can’t wait to play more of it. Unfortunately, there’s no help, hints, or skips if you get stuck. I can’t progress any further until I complete a picture crossword puzzle, but the puzzle makes zero sense and there aren’t any directions. I can’t find a walkthrough online, and there’s no way to contact the developer. I tried going to their website from both the link in the game and from the link in the AppStore. There is a website, but it’s not in English and most of the hyperlinks on the page seem to be broken. I would normally give 1 star after running into such issues and getting stuck with no way out. But Cotton Games is my all time favorite developer and I have really enjoyed the game so far. It’s a great game, I’m just not smart enough to figure out one of the puzzles and now I can no longer play. Someone please post a walkthrough, since the developers did not.

### 5/5 — Wow. Such an Amazing Game

*2024-01-14*

I’ve been playing this series from the beginning and it’s def the best one yet. And that is an achievement since the other installments are incredible. Layered puzzles, dynamic items, wonderful imagery, and super-imaginative. Everything is solvable without hints and makes total sense, but it’s not easy! My message to those who complain either that it’s too short (since you used hints) or that the hints are terrible should maybe just stick to Candy Crush. I love when a new Cotton game comes out. I just wish there were more!

### 1/5 — Списали больше денег

*2025-03-12*

В игре было написано «купить за 199 руб», а списали в итоге 298

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas.

*2024-01-14*

Impossible de jouer. Merci de remédier au problème.

**Developer response:** Bonjour, pouvez-vous préciser s'il s'agit d'un problème de fonctionnement du jeu ou si l'animation de la série télévisée ne se déroule pas normalement

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas!!!

*2024-01-12*

2 secondes de jeu… J’ai pris la batterie, mais je ne peux plus rien faire. L’inventaire reste vide, un cercle blanc en bas à droite.
Je ne peux même pas revenir en arrière.
Désinstallation, réinstallation, rien n’y fait.

**Developer response:** Bonjour, veuillez essayer de jouer à nouveau après avoir mis à jour vers la dernière version 1.0.2. Nous avons résolu ce bogue dans la nouvelle version.
Vous pouvez essayer de désinstaller l'ancienne version, réinstaller la nouvelle version et entrer dans le jeu pour voir si tout fonctionne correctement.

### 1/5 — Game does not work!

*2024-01-12*

Only black screen!

**Developer response:** Hello, please try playing the game again after updating to the latest version 1.0.2. We have addressed this bug in the new release.

### 1/5 — Game is Not working

*2024-01-12*

All i can see is a black screen 👎

**Developer response:** Hello, please try playing the game again after updating to the latest version 1.0.2. We have addressed this bug in the new release.

### 2/5 — How much does this game f’ing cost?!?!

*2025-01-21*

I get having a demo before I buy. Great. But after every chapter?! And without telling me how many chapters? Just give me a clear price and I would be happy to pay it, because I have loved all of these games, but these hidden costs are infuriating. Are you really going to make more money from the number of people you trick in with the low price point compared to the number of loyal customers you’ll lose who would have supported you at a higher price point? Does that feel good?

### 2/5 — Trop compliqué

*2024-02-17*

Alors je ne sais pas si je suis idiot mais je trouve le jeu très compliqué, avec des indices pas clairs ou que je dois louper. Alors que je joue à tous les jeux d’un autre producteur sans soucis. 
Exemple : Le phare que l’on doit mettre dans le trou du volcan, au début. J’ai du mal à comprendre le sens. 

C’est bête qu’il n’y ait pas d’aide et que l’on soit obligé de regarder les walkthrough sur YouTube pour se débloquer. 

Et parfois ce n’est pas clair, il y a des salles qui se débloquent d’un coup sans qu’on le sache.

### 3/5 — ISOLAND 4

*2024-01-15*

Hard to follow not any real clues to what is next not as good as previous ones especially mr pumpkin

### 4/5 — 好きな音楽ジャケット

*2024-01-22*

このシリーズ好きです。今回はPink FloydやNirvana、U2…の音楽ジャケットのポスターや景色が楽しめて良かった。
ちょっと簡単で早く終わってしまって物足りないのが残念。。。

### 4/5 — Fun

*2024-01-18*

I’ve played all of these games, they are strange, but enjoyable. My one critique would be that sometimes I need more of a clue as some of the puzzles really require some outside the box thinking. I managed to finish it, eventually, but it got quite frustrating in a couple spots.

### 5/5 — Father of the Four Winds, fill my sails!

*2026-01-31*

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, with stars to fill my dream.
I am a traveler of both time and space to be where I have been.
To sit with elders of a gentle race this world has seldom seen.
Who talk of days for which they sit and wait
When all will be revealed.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-03-24*

Absolutely fabulous as usual with this developer, I love that you aren’t spoon fed the answers and actually have to use your brain. A really great entry from this incredible series!

### 5/5 — Another good one

*2025-01-18*

Love all of the Isoland games - engaging and make you use your brain

### 5/5 — One of my favorite cotton games

*2024-11-14*

Too bad I can’t submit this brief review. Another mystery… solved

### 5/5 — 재밌어요!

*2024-10-16*

한국어도 있어요! 이전 시리즈 좋으셨던 분들이라면 이것도 재밌을 거예요!

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2024-02-25*

I especially loved this instalment of Isoland! And the nod to TS Eliot and rock music :) It was an easier format due to the navigation, although not having the scribble option meant I had to make notes on paper to solve the puzzles. The music btw was incredible!

### 5/5 — I hope for a new one soon!

*2024-02-15*

Like the entire Isoland series, episode 4 is a great pleasure!

### 5/5 — Toujours aussi bien :)

*2024-02-12*

Lorsqu’un Cotton Game sort, je l’achète sans hésiter. Un Isoland toujours aussi sympa à tout point, dont la traduction impeccable (c’est un détail important). Bravo et vivement le 5 !

### 5/5 — Update Schwarzer Bildschirm nach Starten der App

*2024-02-11*

Die App startet nicht, ich erhalte nur einen schwarzen Bildschirm. Ich habe die App sowohl auf dem IPhone als auch auf meinem IPad mini installiert- bei beiden funktioniert die App nicht.
Nach dem Update alles in Ordnung, das Spiel macht wieder richtig Spaß.

**Developer response:** Hallo, bitte versuchen Sie das Spiel nach dem Update auf die neueste Version 1.0.2 zu spielen. Wir haben diesen Fehler in der neuen Version behoben. Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung!

### 5/5 — いいですね

*2024-02-04*

途中難しいところもあったけど2周目は違う場面も結構出てきて面白かった💖
