Machinarium for Android
The controls are absolutely horrible on mobile. This is a disgrace to such a great game. Do not play it on the mobile, play it only on the computer or you will be highly frustrated because of the horrible controls.
This game is very boring. The puzzles aren't engaging and are seemingly just random actions you need to perform in a very overly specific order. Not fun at all.
Frankly, for $5, go buy The Room puzzle game (s). While the graphics and art are wonderful, this game has incomprehensible solutions that don't work even if you have the walkthrough unless you get lucky (as far as I can tell). For example, the simple act of squatting or stretching may take 2 or 3 swipes...this coupled with the complexity of some of the solutions makes for a frustrating user experience.
Good game, but unable to start on nVidia Shield TV Pro. Goes to black screen, sometimes with a logo.
Beautiful game. I remember playing this years ago on my pc and always wanted to play again. Highly recommend
Now its working
A superior game in every way. Highly original concept with adorable graphics and sound effects. Such attention to detail. I can't praise this game enough especially if you love a serious gaming challenge. It really is very difficult in places to the point where you want to tear your hair out. In many of the scenes you have to be very precise where you point and get the timing exactly right for some of the moves. You'll see what I mean when you play it. Worth far more than the designers are charging for this unique game. But you have been warned... Enjoy.
Very good game, not too hard and not too easy! I found the "space Invader" game (for getting hints to the levels)very easy and without problems on my tablet. The only thing I felt they could have done better with were the graphics... But keep in mind this was a 2010 game and graphic tech wasn't as good as it is now.
Robot doesn't throw down the radio after all three musicians get their musical instruments. UPD: After watching video i can say that i accomplished all musicians tasks but i did these in a different order (flutist->piper->drummer). Old lady robot did throw nothing after piper play.
Great great game!!! So hard to find games like this full of different puzzles some logic some space invaders. If you enjoy exploring, looking for things and a cut story line this is for you. I think it was better than The Room! Only issue is the controls were not always responsive on my android.
The graphics are unique and wonderful. The story line is fairly simple. This was not a game I would ever play again. And I play all my favorite games again while waiting for sequels. The old fashioned arcade games were beyond frustrating. And I was lost most of the time. Leaned heavily on the walkthrough, which I rarely ever do. Don't like needing one. I leave this to Space Invader fans.
Perfect in every single way. The world is consistent the art as consistent and it is completely seamless. The puzzles are difficult enough where it doesn't insult your intelligence and intuitive enough to where even the most brightest person on the planet will get stumped. When it figured out of the end the answer is so obvious it makes you feel like you've accomplished a great feat
Please fix bug. The lady didn't throw any thing for the saxophonist (5 buttons) and Ive read Im not the first to encounter this bug. Ratings will be changed after bug is fixed. I love this game since its desktop version. Thanks!
I absolutely loved playing this game.... Until I hit an insuperable bug. I emailed support twice asking if there was a workaround and I never received a response. My phone is an HTC10. The bug is the hook disappearing at the underground waterworks. I will gladly amend my review is someone from support resolves this.
Great game developers. Only one slight bug in the elevator room. If you miss the vacuum cleaner robot you are stuck. It doesn't give you a second chance to get the light bulb for the puzzle.
The designs are so good, like I'm living in an art place, so characters are cute. The game itself is challenging and enjoyable. Some scenes are difficult but totally make sense. I love this game and look forward to the next version if they plan to have one.
Interesting kind of game, had a lot of trouble with the controls. Most of the time I'd click somewhere wrong and the robot just wouldn't stop, so I had to watch an entire animation until I could keep playing. The second arcade was hell. If I misclicked the arrows one little bit, the robot would leave the machine and this happened a dozen times. The controls can be rather frustrating but the game is nice. The storyline is poor and could be way better.
Still love this game, every few months I play again. Good puzzles, mini games and fun little details in the story. Hope there's a sequel! £3.99 was more than I'd usually pay for an app game, but was good value. Superb graphics, and excellent gameplay!
Loved!!! Awesome artwork, challenging but not too hard puzzles and game flow. Funny! Charming! Loved the soundtrack, too. Cool that you can get walkthroughs on each board if needed, but gotta do a little work for them. An overall well-designed games! I'm off to download another one of Amanita's games :-D
Graphics are insane! Love them! Sadly though, this game is WAY TOO difficult. I'm constantly referring to YouTube videos for help and it's still a challenge. I enjoy just watching the videos more than playing the game.
It's a beautiful game. The stages are intricate however if you don't know the plot then you won't find it out. And the puzzles are quite hard to find and figure and are not satisfying to solve. Specially the 5 in a row.
Regret paying for this. Samorosa is better, thank goodness this developer gets better over time. Do not pay if you are looking for no guide. Pay if you are looking for graphics and nothing else. Story is minimal, graphics great, beginner guide fail.
Lost my save files 4 hours in. I just restarted the game and they are gone. Is there a solution? Edit: Solution worked but had to reply a bit of the game. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
The "space invaders" game is a big mistake. My Samsung Gal S tablet doesn't respond quick enough to dodge the enemys fire. The other game at least fit somewhat and was beatable. This was my favorite game up until this nightmare, I've tried fifty times to beat it and I can't because of the cra-py response from the controls. I'm exhausted. I would really love to finish this game, I hope one day you'll see fit to fix it so I can get my money's worth. I am truly "steamed"....
A great adventure/puzzle game where you have to use your wits to solve lots of the puzzles to continue with the storyline. There aren't many visual cues on what you have to do next but using common sense is what usually helped me solve them. If you are looking for a real adventure and having a game with an ending then you should try this. By the way, the music in this game is very good!
The art is beautiful but the controls are just impossible. This seems like a game for a PC, and it's dishonest to say that it's compatible with a phone. A real ripoff.
Not my favorite from this studio, unfortunately I get stuck a lot and have to consult walkthroughs almost every scene. Great graphics though
One of the best games, but i have to report bug. Game crashes whenever i try to give screws to the musician... Its impossible to continue. Please fix it.
Trust me & read this: It's strange that Google markets titles from the established publishers as their "Best of 2017", "Top Rated", etc. Yet such amazing titles like this or Samorost 3 or Pocket Rally (it's incredibly realistic physics) or the ethereal Mental Hospital series from similar Indie Developers get little attention. Very strange. I suggest all Play Store buyers rely on your own searches for the gems being "intentionally" hidden out there & not on algorithms.
Great game good story. A bit difficult at times. Hard to figure out whats required as the controls are so fine. The hint game is too difficult.
Frustrating. After playing both Samorost 3 and Botanicula, I had high hopes for this too. But the puzzles are more frustrating, the colors obviously more drab. But I got through it until the 5 in a row game. What a nightmare. I actually want a refund. I mean I tried like every strategy available online, had others try it. It's impossible; the AI always starts first, and you end up just playing defensively into a stalemate at best. I finally said screw it, and now requesting refund.
Great adventure puzzle game... Not the longest game out there but will keep you amused for a fair length of time... Just waiting for a few more "Amanita Design" puzzle games that are Android TV compatible.
The controls to get the man to do what you are asking are very difficult. It shouldn't take what seems like 20 minutes to make the man put his arm up.
A few years ago ive been played this game on my laptop.. now im willing to buy it again... bcoz this game was superfun..
I'm not a gaming type of person, but I always enjoyed quest games on PC and somehow remembered some of the fantastic reviews this game had on a PC. My wife and I enjoyed this a ton ! Fantastic puzzles and great story! I've always had my hearphones during play, music is a great part of this trip!
I have send this weeks ago, "Machinarium can't be downloaded. Error code: 0 .Have done the basic troubleshooting, restated device, login logout g.play. I'm using mi note lte. Do revert, thanks. And emailed Amanita. But nothing from them. Nothing at all. There goes my money :(
1/2017****!!UPDATE!!**** I JUST PLAYED THIS GAME FOR THE 5TH TIME, i was showing friends about it and they purchased it as well!! PLEASE GUYS CREATE A NEW GAME, SAME CHARACTERS, NEW STORY LINE!! PLEASE!!! Easily one of THE MOST AWESOME GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED! Adorable story, amazing graphics! Im a huge adventure gamer and wish I cld high-five these developers! Worth every penny, please tell me there's a sequel! This is the only thing I've ever rated in my life lol :)
Asides the gorgeous imagery and the really cool music, the game has overly sensitive controls that easily mess up the game. It is very frustrating since it is not easy to control the touch of your finger in such tiny screen.
Fantastic. Very creative and original. My only complaint would be that a few times the item that I had to tap on was too tiny for my fingers to register. Good thing I have an Samsung S Pen

Fun game and great graphics, but for the price I was hoping for a more details in the storyline and longer game play. Finished the game in 3 hours so definitely addicting but it would just be perfect if it had more of a storyline and more challenges!
