### 3/5 — Не люблю платформеры

*2026-01-30*

Игра на 5 звезд. Поставил 3 из-за уровня, где тебе требуется играть в приставку, в платформер. Тел чуть не сломал. Если бы я хотел поиграть в платформер, я бы другую игру купил.

### 3/5 — Fun but not what I expected

*2025-08-03*

The game overall is pretty fun but much more mature than I thought. It’s kind of gritty, there’s swearing and violence and lots of creatures locked in cages. Nothing horrible but not what I expect when an app is rated for ages 4+. There are some quality of life things that were a bit annoying, like that some of the click spots are so close to the bottom of my screen that I accidentally swipe the app away while playing. And the dialogue is unskippable, so even if you read quickly or need to re-read to catch just one word, you have to sit there for the full time the dialogue bubble is open.

### 4/5 — Awesome creative game

*2025-06-05*

I loved this game. Very creative, fun and long, enjoyable gameplay. Couple of suggestions. 1. Please let me skip what the characters say. It gets to be a grind after a while when you’re trying to beat a level over and over. 2. Despite turning off music, it persists in some scenes. 3. Please let me hold a button down or something so that I can see where the active areas are on-screen. 4. I wanted to go back and try to beat the cat game, but now that I’ve finished the main game, there’s no way to go back unless I saved that spot. 5. The main character was kind of needlessly mean to the underground monster just doing his job and the alien (who saved him earlier in the game.) ;-) AWESOME GAME!

### 3/5 — Bug in game

*2025-06-01*

Great game but there is a bug. When you shoot the balloons and solve the numbers on the box if you haven’t gone into the room behind them first then you can’t afterwards. Irritating as you can no longer progress in the game and have to start again….

### 5/5 — As always another AWESOME game from Cotton!

*2025-04-30*

Fun, challenging (in the best way), great characters, and beautiful artwork, this game offers it all. It’s well worth the money. I kept thinking that I was at the end, but there was so many more fun challenges to accomplish. I see that some players were upset with the fact that you have to complete an arcade game in order to get a needed item. I guess they missed the clue on how to easily beat the arcade game. It makes me sad that negative reviews were left for that reason only when the game was so enjoyable to play. I always enjoy your games and am looking forward to playing them in the future. Thank you for developing such awesome games.

### 5/5 — 💖

*2025-04-19*

Очень Крутая игры жалко что платная

### 2/5 — Great game until arcade sequence

*2025-03-28*

II have bought all the Cotton games and enjoyed their whimsey and puzzles. But, I cannot finish this game due to a shooter type arcade game the character has to play to retrieve  an item needed to complete with the game the game.  I am terribly disappointed. Developers should provide a skip for these type of challenges.

### 5/5 — Beautiful point and click with tricky but solvable puzzles.

*2025-03-09*

Great point and click, long enough to be satisfying and worth the price. Art and characters are whimsical and quirky. 

As for the last arcade puzzle people complain about in comments, there is a hint on how make it through pretty easily (on second try for me) hidden in the last location. 

I don’t care for the arcade type challenges in PAC games either, but this one was very easy and I was able to finish.

### 2/5 — Glitch. Can’t progress.

*2025-02-26*

I love Cotton Games. Have been looking forward to Wooly Boy. But I can’t progress from the scene with the magician. Dog is in the box, wooly boy should crouch down again on the overhead ceiling (have looked at plenty of walkthroughs). But he doesn’t and I can’t make him. Meaning that the scene won’t progress and the game is stuck :(

### 5/5 — 좋았습니다.

*2025-02-16*

처음엔 바보같은 짓하느라. 다른방 불꺼보는 생각은 못하고 계속 헤맸는데 다른분 리뷰보고 다시 해봤는데 결국 제 머리가 멍청했던걸로....!
번역이 좀 아쉽지만 전반적으로 재밌었습니다.

### 1/5 — Audio not working on my iPad

*2025-05-26, version 1.0.19*

The audio is not working looks like a fun game

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-11, version 1.0.19*

Paid for the game. Couldn’t even get the first scene to work. Literally couldn’t get the coin to unscrew the screws. Help

### 1/5 — Arcade games ruin it

*2025-01-25*

This is an amazing game overall. Cotton Games is one of the best point and click developers out there. The graphics are amazing, there’s some subtle humor mixed in and the game is very long.

The reason for my low rating is because Cotton ruined this game the same as their other games…by putting in required arcade games with no option to skip. I made it all the way to the end, but wasn’t able to finish because I couldn’t get the last needed object. Many of us don’t have the mobility and dexterity to do arcade games. That’s why we like the point and click games. There are numerous reviews on all their games that complain about this, yet they refuse to listen to their players. It wouldn’t be difficult to add a skip button on the arcade games like most other developers do. Sadly, I’m breaking up with Cotton Games and will no longer purchase or play anything by them.

### 1/5 — Много денег

*2025-01-06*

Заплатила 499 р. Поиграла и еще просят 499. Хаха. Такого развода я еще не встречалп

### 1/5 — horrible game

*2024-12-26*

the quality is horrible and wasted my time and it has no instructions and the noise effects were terrifying and whoever made this better not think i’m paying money to continue playing this HORRIBLE game. who thinks themselves "wait let me make this disgusting quality terrible game” and expects people to pay to continue playing this very low quality game was garage noises like i could smell the game from my phone because bad it stank it needs a shower now especially that fatty fat loser guard with no self control over his weight or his hygiene. and i’m not thanking you for reading my review.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2024-12-22*

Na sala onde tem os computadores, o jogo está bugado. Não deixa abrir a lixeira para pegar o item.

**Developer response:** Esse desafio é uma fase extra que preparamos, um tipo de "surpresa". Superá-lo não é obrigatório para continuar a história. Se estiver enfrentando dificuldades, salve seu jogo e aproveite para explorar outras partes do mapa, depois volte quando se sentir mais preparado. Se você está se divertindo com o nosso jogo, por favor, considere nos dar uma nova avaliação! Agradecemos muito o seu tempo de jogo!

### 2/5 — 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

*2026-05-23*

Просто непроходимый уровень с приставкой, зачем так делать??? Каждый раз надо начинать с самого начала, контрольных точек даже никаких нет, с такой сложностью это просто издевательство

### 2/5 — Great game but too buggy

*2026-02-04*

Struggling to finish the game due to characters being stuck, contacted the team to no avail.

### 2/5 — sorry, have to delete

*2025-08-13, version 1.0.19*

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-06*

Worth every penny , just download it

### 5/5 — Only good game you have

*2026-03-14*

This & sunset hills are the only pleasant games you have. Everything else can be thrown into the trash. Get more American English testers before releasing on App Store to avoid poor ratings. I’m a big fan, Please just make more games like this and subset hulls or make sequels. Whoever keeps deciding to make those hideous horror games and depressing or weird ones needs to stop. Even MrLemon or whatever is so unsettling and depressing. I literally had to listen to Christmas music to detox from whatever that and rain city were. Woolly & Sunset Hills. Your best

### 5/5 — Absolut empfehlenswert

*2026-01-17*

Ein so liebevoll gestaltetes findet man leider nur durch mühsames Suchen im Store. Es hat uns riesig Spaß gemacht.
Vielen Dank an die Entwickler.
Es ist wirklich jeden Cent Wert.

### 5/5 — Great game

### 5/5 — Рекомендую!

*2025-11-28*

Классная игра, как всегда интересная , я обожаю все их игры .

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-10-16*

Although this looks like it would be for kids it’s actually quite complicated. 

I’ve enjoyed playing it so much so that it’s in my top 10.
