Once again, there’s only one problem…
Sat Feb 18 2023 DonGhoulioThat there isn’t MORE of you.
I have played nearly all of your games, and I see many people complaining about a “lack of direction”. It is precisely that quality that make your games my absolute favorite to play- all this required is a bit of patience and ingenuity to figure out, and boy is the effort rewarded. The artwork (as always) is obviously stunning, and while it does wax a bit violent it’s certainly no worse than the stuff I watch my 12 year old laugh at all day. Then again, my child might be a tad warped 😂.
If I’m being honest the gameplay was really perfect in that while it was in no way dumbed down, I was able to get through it without ever referencing a walk-through, unlike Samarost which while I LOVED it, had me pulling hair out of my head. Please consider adding additional levels to this game? Just a humble request from a massive fan. Well done!
Amanita’s best. Viewer discretion advised.
Mon Apr 29 2024 Jdsjihjdhfdv7Happy Game is quite and experience. It has some blood and gore, so be careful. What’s really crazy is the story. I’m not gonna spoil it, but it’s very deep and sad. The game makes even more sense and is even better when you know the story. Some of the flashbacks feel so oddly specific to childhood trauma. Amanita did a brilliant job at making that feeling of nostalgia, sadness, and fear. The whole game hit me really hard, and it’s amazing. Great job! 💙
Not up to their standard
Tue May 02 2023 Some guy tooSimply nowhere near as good as other Amanita games. So disappointed I quit partway through. Their other games have a coherence and a story to them. You can explore sequences of screens and need to go back and forth between them to solve puzzles. This game lacks those cohesive elements. There is very limited intelligence to solving a screen, mostly just guessing what to pull, tap or push. The graphics are somewhat compelling, but they seem more of a visual art project than the rich and whimsical environments that the art in other Amanita games provide. Love Amanita, so was very excited and bought this right away, but so disappointed.
Not as good as their others
Wed Feb 14 2024 Mve926I thought the game would be an outside-of-the-box puzzle game like most of the others they have made. Although, the art was cool, but the game itself lacked depth in my personal opinion. The story is cliche, the mechanics are overused and lazy, and the game itself seems to be heavily leaning on the art to carry your interest throughout. All the “puzzles” can be solved in less than a minute with just a tiny bit of intuition. I found myself daydreaming about other things as I kept a finger on the screen to keep the main character moving forward.
3 stars simply because of the art and my overall love for Amanita Design.
I hope in the future Amanita Design goes back to point-and-click puzzles like Machinarium or at least something that will have you scratching your head to find the solutions.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
Yo! Happy Game 2!
Wed Mar 06 2024 TealRebel9990So, I enjoy horror games and the art and music in this game is beautiful and creepy! The music specifically is underrated. The puzzles aren’t overly complicated and can be completed in a maximum of about 6 minutes. I enjoy this game and hey! It would be cool if you made some sort of sequel eh? Cheers!
Waste of $6
Sun Feb 12 2023 HeyhiillI’ve played many of Amanita’s games with great enjoyment. This one I quit after 5 minutes. Not because of the violence—I didn’t really even get to that— because it unclear what you’re supposed to do. The instructions flash for like 3 seconds then you’re left wondering. I also felt the controls on iPad were clumsy. Moving the main character feels slow and tedious. A real disappointment after Creaks, Botanicula and other delightful games.
Another masterpiece
Tue Apr 18 2023 9 inchIf you’re a fan of their other games you will like this one too. That is if you don’t mind the creepy theme. I wouldn’t call it scary but it is a little disturbing, in an artful, playful kind of way
Very Creepy, very well done
Thu Mar 09 2023 davidjufoThe graphics are excellent, and the vibe is oh so dark, very dark. Solving puzzles may require you rip the limbs off creatures or put eyeballs in a demon’s mouth. I really enjoyed it. It is a bit short, but worth it any way.
A nightmare in the best possible way
Wed Feb 12 2025 Olle PellijeffA dark and genuinely scary story with creative and interesting gameplay. Fun to see a game that breaks the boring regular mold using odd quirks such as circular worlds. Great fun, now get back to work and bring us another game please
I love it!
Fri Jun 28 2024 delete the game now now nowI love happy game! I even got to the end and it was not what I was expecting! Also how old is pancakes I named the little boy pancakes but what is his real name? Also I hope there is a happy game 2! Happy game is a fun game to play when bored tbh
