Very cute. Extremely cute. Probably the cutest games I've played. Cute.

I never write reviews for games. But I had to for this. It's stunningly beautiful and the most delicate way, it's hilarious, and it's full of constant surprises. I sit giggling and squealing with delight every few minutes, driving my son crazy XD. The creative genius that has invented the little creatures is without comparison; he/she/they are geniuses indeed! I'm never bored, I'm never stressed by puzzles because there is so much else to enjoy. I'm taking my time just to savour the beauty and cute fun. Don't want to end; I don't mind if I never complete it!
Now I can't wait to do Machinarium and Samorost by the same devs; more fun and beauty and creative genius is waiting for me beyond Botanicula. I'm so relieved I bought the bundle!
Thank you, geniuses, for making my evenings such fun! Highly recommend this to anyone!

I can't decide if Botanicula or Machinarium is my favorite game by Animita design. Its a dillema that I'm glad to have.

Usually I'm not fanatic or hyped but this wonderful experience by the name of Botanicula deserves all the praise in the world.
When this point & click is launched, all is all right with the world. Immense flow of positive energy and goodwill for adults and children of all ages alike.

Will update this reception as time goes on.

Great.

Probably, Botanicula - one of the cutest games that I had seen. This is one of those games whose charm lies in its simplicity and even a certain naivety, combined with excellent art-style.

Storyline is fully revealed in the first minute of the game. Our brave heroes must save last tree seed from voracious spider-like parasites and... that is it. Well, on the way from the top of tree to its roots, heroes will visit quite strange, unexpected and unpredictable places. Here I must say that sometimes Botanicula seemed for me, well... too eclectic. The first part of the game has a beautiful and clearly defined style, but in the middle of the game appeared... inappropriate elements; for my taste, they just do not fit in original style.

Last part of the game is excellent, it offers an impressive contrast with the beginning. Live intertwining branches, filled with sunlight and scurrying creatures, are replaced by dark and eerie domain of parasites. The tree is dying. I was deeply impressed by last scene... and inspired by hope. The idea is simple and clear: despite everything, do not despair.

As for the gameplay. It is very simple, puzzles are not difficult but well designed and interesting enough. There is almost no inventory management and, in my opinion, it is good, because I do not think that collecting weird stuff and guessing how all this junk should be used, is a necessary element of good game. There are some arcade mini-games, they are well designed and fits perfectly in the mood of the game.

World of Botanicula is inhabited by a variety of strange creatures and I humbly advise you to not hurry. Explore the game, click everywhere and see what happens then. In many cases, your curiosity will be rewarded with short funny scene. Botanicula is filled with humor, this game is truly created with love.

I really liked the soundtrack, this strange and charming melodies, filled with buzzing and other strange sounds, it creates a very special atmosphere. Great job!

Well. I sincerely recommend Botanicula. Odd, touching, optimistic... that is it. Not a masterpiece, maybe, but close enough.

A quirky little adventure game, with a beautiful art style, that you can 100% within a few hours.

A quirky, amusing, charming, game that also looks great. It has around 5 hours worth of gameplay to finish the game. Highly recommended.

If this game doesn't make you smile, you have no heart.

Amanita Design does it again with this simple yet soulful point and click adventure. I did find the majority of the puzzles to be a bit easier than Machinarium, for instance. Still, I think it is set correctly to keep the pace of the game, and because of this I found it hard to put down. The world is very cute but often surreal...I suppose it should be expected from a company named after a psychedelic mushroom.

The game is short (3 hours for me) but so worth the price tag.

Fairly simple point and click adventure game.
There's no dialogue whatsoever.
A cute little tale of good vs evil about planting a tree and silly, zany creatures.
