### 2/5 — 世界観は⭕️パズルは❌

*2023-11-01, version 1.2.1*

パズル系割と好きなので深く考えずに購入。
世界観は独特過ぎて人を選ぶかもですが好きです。
ストーリーも端的なのに気になる。

ただ肝心のパズルが楽しめない。
リアルタイム性がよくないのか、ただただ忙しくプレイするだけで疲れる。
頭を使う場面はもちろんあるのですがそれどころではない。
ツムツムが好きで更に頭を使ったプレイしたい！という人にはいいのかな？
もう連打が苦痛です😫

### 2/5 — 確かに音が出ない

*2023-08-26, version 1.2.1*

買う前に知りたかった

### 4/5 — Brilliant

*2023-04-20*

Amazingly enjoyable game.  Only fault is that I cannot play my own music or other audio at the same time.

### 2/5 — 音が出ない…

*2023-02-09, version 1.2.1*

moonシリーズから大好きで、全て遊んでます！。待望のアプリがあると知り即ダウンロードしましたが、アンストして再ダウンロードしても音が出ません…。悲しみ…。

### 5/5 — Love You Onion Games

*2022-12-17, version 1.2.1*

### 5/5 — I… four bucks?!

*2022-10-05*

Leaving aside the wild absurdist humour, the unique setting and the sheer aesthetic charm, the actual gameplay experience is far, far deeper, more interesting and lends itself to a wider variety of viable strategies than it has any right to. It’s challenging, even in its early areas (while you’re finding your feet) but beautifully well-balanced to always encourage you to try again and improve. The amount of genuine capital GD Game Design talent on display in this thing is kind of crazy.

…and, yes, I genuinely mean all of that about a game that, at face value, looks like demented onion whack-a-mole.

Just bravo to the dev team. The mobile market doesn’t generally lend itself to getting your big break with innovation but I really hope they make it big. You give these guys a budget and I can’t even imagine what they could make - I just know I’d want to play it (with a slightly bemused look on my face).

### 5/5 — Life-affirming fun

*2022-09-15*

Million Onion Hotel overflows with personality. It possesses in one pixel more heart and soul and simple, childlike joy than any game I’ve ever played on a phone. If you, like me, love to live and breathe, Million Onion Hotel is an essential purchase. And if you don’t, Million Onion Hotel will teach you how—a priceless gift, for only $3.99.

### 5/5 — One of the most surprising

*2022-08-02*

I can’t give away too much, but the story and wonderful music is what kept me coming back.

### 5/5 — Bizarre and incredibly fun

*2022-06-02*

There’s nothing like it in the App Store which is a real treat. Still getting the hang of it. Tapping with all kinds of subtle changes as you collect onions while trying to keep time from running out. Crazy story just adds to the charm. I’m pleasantly surprised. Can’t put it down.

### 4/5 — ヘンヘンヘンヘン

*2022-05-28, version 1.2.1*

頭の中からずっと聴こえてくる。ヘンヘンヘンヘン

### 5/5 — A delightful masterpiece

*2022-05-02*

The writing is punchy and clever (no surprise there, given the translator), and the game is gorgeous and hilarious and thrilling. It's a game that casually indicates how rarely we see such delights on such a ubiquitous platform.

### 5/5 — What?

*2022-01-07*

What am I doing? No idea. It’s fun though

### 5/5 — Wild, whacky and wonderful.

*2021-10-30*

Not really sure what I’m doing or what’s going on but I am having a great time doing it!

### 5/5 — たのしかった

*2021-10-23, version 1.2.1*

オシャレなbgmと愛があるゲーム。
夢中になって真エンドまで楽しみました。

### 5/5 — Addicting and fun!

*2021-10-17*

I enjoy this game a lot, every once in a while I come back to it and always have a blast

### 3/5 — 忙しいパズルゲーム

*2021-08-12, version 1.2.1*

序盤はそうでもないけど、レベルが上がるにつれここをタップしながらあそこをタップして…ていう場面が増えてくる。終盤なんかは周囲も見ないといけなくなるから大変だった
説明不足な所が多かった。もう少し説明しても良かったのではと思う
1プレイ時間が長めなので、暇つぶしには向いてない
雰囲気が良い　温かみのあるドット絵が素敵
面白いです。今は秘密カードコンプを頑張ってます

### 5/5 — 雰囲気が好き

*2021-08-11, version 1.2.1*

雰囲気が好き

### 5/5 — One of the best mobile games there is.

*2021-08-07, version 1.2.1*

So good. Wish more monile games were like this.

### 1/5 — シンプルに面白くない

*2023-11-03, version 1.2.1*

おそらくほとんどのレビューがさくらなのでは？と疑うレベル。600円で購入して1ゲームしかしていない。今からアンストします。

### 1/5 — Mutes my music.

*2022-06-13, version 1.2.1*

How dare this game. It stops any music I’m playing and will not allow music to be played while playing. Absolutely ridiculous.

### 1/5 — For me, it is a trash game

*2021-05-05, version 1.2.1*

no enjoyment :( i want my money back

### 1/5 — Cult Game

*2019-11-25*

It is very difficult 
and that is a real problem that it is not possible to save the progression in the game

### 1/5 — パズル？

*2019-03-06*

ゲームとしては大変つまらない。
1回やったら繰り返しやろうとは到底思えないほど、単調。
評価高い人はゲームを評価してるの？それとも雰囲気を評価してるの？
無料だったら即消しレベルです。

### 1/5 — 1ミリも面白くない

*2018-03-09*

物凄く期待していたために発生してしまったギャップなのかも知れないが、全く面白さが理解できなかった。終始モグラ叩きみたいな感じでタップしているだけです。
私には480円のゲームにはとても思えなかった。

### 1/5 — Update for iPhone X please!

*2017-12-12, version 1.1.2*

Needs to be updated for iPhone X screen size

### 1/5 — I hate it and I want my money back.

*2017-11-14, version 1.0.1*

I was hoping for more strategy and less clicker style gaming.  Make a trial version.

### 1/5 — Can’t listen to anything but soundtrack

*2017-11-05*

As far as I can tell, there’s no way to listen to anything but the game soundtrack while playing this. Even if I hit the play button on my headphones, it’ll pause the music immediately. This is a really frustrating issue that makes me not want to play the game at all until it’s fixed, and I’m really not happy that I just spent $4 on this game.

**Developer response:** Hi Bedemon,

We are very sorry for your inconvenience.
We can’t reproduce the bug you reported. 
So would you tell me more specific situations and questions written below?
* Device Name(iPhone7, iPad Mini, etc) and iOS version number(9.2, 10.1, etc).
* Does it happen even you restart the game?
* Does it happen only when you use headphones or it happen without headphones?
* Scenes you can’t listen to music(Title, In-Game, Result)
* You wrote “ anything but the game soundtrack”, would you tell me the meaning of “soundtrack”? For example you can listen to only BGM, only SE,

It would be very helpful to fix the bug if you answer questions above.
Thank you very much.

### 1/5 — moon大好き！

*2017-10-19, version 1.0.0*

moonが好きだから、という人は買わない方が良いです。
私はmoon大好きですが、全く別物…
雰囲気も全然違います。
正直、1プレイで『もういいかな』と思えました。
何が面白いのか分からないし、1プレイが長い…
肝心のストーリーっぽい？やつも、セリフ（字幕）がないのでどういう内容なのか分かりません。
moonっぽいボイスと、キャラの動きだけです。
多分、日本語を入れない事で、海外の人でも遊べるようにしたんでしょうが、大滑りです。

しかも、1度ゲームオーバーになると、コンティニュー不可で、また始めからやり直し。
もちろん、ストーリーも始めから…
とてもじゃないですが、最後まで見れる気がしません。
最後までストーリーを進めるにはどれだけ長時間プレイしないといけないのか…
残念で仕方がない…
山田くんの方がまだ良かった…

### 5/5 — ポロリもあるよ(マジ)

*2026-06-05*

中毒性高くてハイスコア狙うの癖になる。500円で5万円分は遊べる！ドットだから許されるアレやコレも盛りだくさん！

### 5/5 — だいすき

*2026-01-27*

### 5/5 — Incredible.

*2025-08-03, version 1.2.1*

Onion.

### 5/5 — Lack Bird

*2025-06-11, version 1.2.1*

… I only got this to say that I am SERIOUSLY lacking in Bird themed shmups in the world of my iPhone.

Plz, plz, PLEEEEEEAAAAAAZEEEEE…. I know you want to help me with this problem. I only hope that it’s possible. 

Until the day Black Bird is on my phone… otherwise, I fill my shoes with tears and eat worms.
😢

### 5/5 — ふん、ふんふんが可愛い

*2024-07-08*

いくらで買ったかも覚えてないけど何年も飽きずにやっているので大変コスパがいいです。iPad mini2が壊れるまでやると思います。いっぱいナイト集めるのに60〜失敗が多くてナイトいっぱいあまっっちゃう。ほうきよりも爆弾よりもでかいオニオンが苦手

### 5/5 — There’s genuinely no way to describe what I just played

*2024-04-22*

You need to try this game. Just 15 minutes of focused play and you’ll get the idea.

### 5/5 — A Beautiful Game for Onion Lovers Everywhere

*2023-08-31, version 1.2.1*

Onion Gaming at its finest

### 5/5 — Still the best game ever made for the iPhone

The only game I play. No other game will ever come close to this. This is art.

Japanese craziness and crazy tapping!
