Lost in Play Reviews
Lost in Play is an outstanding puzzle adventure game that can be played by everyone. The art design is fantastic, the puzzles are varied while offering a bit of a challenge, and it is just a wholesome story of two kids using their imaginations to create a world to have an adventure in. I would recommend this to anyone who wants something light hearted, whether you're playing alone or with family.
I was highly anticipating Lost in Play, but it far exceeded my expectations. For the most part, the puzzles aren’t overly difficult, but they are incredibly entertaining. The solutions make sense and feel organic to discover throughout the journey. The various characters and locations are fantastically weird, in the best possible sense. If you’re a fan of point-and-click adventures, or even just a big kid looking to recapture the feeling of their youth, then you can’t pass up Lost in Play.
Lost in Play is a charming and amazing point-and-click puzzler that will make you feel like a kid again.
Over its five-or-so hours, Lost in Play barely puts a foot wrong, delivering cerebral gaming and effervescent entertainment. In doing so, it makes many of the genre’s design challenges look easy. Here’s hoping it inspires and influences future graphic adventures – or at least gets a sequel.
Never boring, always charming; Lost in Play is an incredible entry to the point-and-click genre, reviving my love for it. Any fan of it definitely should pick it up!
Lost in Play offers a unique and must-have experience with its heart-warming story, amazing cartoon graphics, hilarious characters and unhindered imagination. I really wish to see a sequel soon.

It's not easy, even with the huge variety of independent developments, to find something as complete as Lost in Play. To a simply formidable audiovisual invoice, with an exquisite work of animation, design and sound, is added a simple gameplay but that knows how to challenge the player, while maintaining an adequate pace of progress and narrative flow, with the addition of a help system so that everyone can enjoy in their own way and at their own pace an adventure that is clearly for all audiences.

Lost in Play keeps all of its promises, and it keeps them well. The gameplay can be tricky, but it is fun and exactly what you would expect from a point-and-click adventure time. The art style is incredible; the 2D graphics make it look straight out of a children’s program. The sound design is clever and helps to propagate the illusion of childhood. Every single element that makes up this game serves to create an atmosphere that feels unapologetically magical.
Lost in Play is an experience that embraces all players for an adventure that oozes charisma, creativity, fun and accessibility. The launch for mobile devices expands the offer of what is one of the most cozy and pleasant games I had the opportunity to experience in 2023. A great recommendation for all ages.

Lost in Play is easily the indie darling of Summer 2022.
It grabs and keeps your attention the entire time, making this game a joy to finish. It may lack a depth in its mechanics but makes up for its seamless animation and catchy musical score. It's a fantastic freshman offering from indie dev Happy Juice Games and promises a bright future of things to come.
Lost in Play is a journey through children's imagination, filled with thoughtfully crafted puzzles and diverse characters that will capture your heart.

Simply, Lost in Play is a "non-toxic game" that can be recommended to any family member. You don't have to worry about complicated controls or wrap your head because of its difficulty. Moreover, every single visual in the game is heartwarming. However, it is sad that many things in the second half part seems to be left out a bit too much.

Terrific animation, solid voice acting, and a light but fun puzzle adventure style make this a solid treat
A short, fun and bizarre journey into the imagination with two great protagonists.

Lost in Play is an incredibly beautiful and exciting adventure that smears its target audience a little with simple puzzles for an adult audience and the lack of a coherent narrative. But, of course, with all the criticism, these 15 levels and four hours of play can give you a lot of fun and pleasure. And that's more than important now.

Lost in Play provides a delightful gaming experience for kids and adults alike, boasting charming characters, fun puzzles, and an irresistible sense of childhood magic.
Lost in Play has a strong visual and audio presentation, is a simple game that may or may not take us all back to a simpler and less complicated time in our lives, and is an enjoyable title overall. If you’re looking for a fun and easy game to pick up that is very deep in puzzle solving, this game is definitely right up your alley. It’s worth the experience and every pixel show the developers dedication and love for the craft in great detail.
In summary Lost in Play is a great debut from this studio, and I’m eager to see what they come out with next. Fittingly for the game’s narrative there’s an overflow of imagination and charm to be found here in a compact package that won’t outstay its welcome; packed with story, puzzles and games that are clever and varied. And Goblin Poker, which might be worth the entry price alone.
Lost in Play doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does refine it into something that directly speaks to our inner child. Its juxtaposition of simple point and click storytelling and challenging mini-games makes for a fantastic balance sure to keep things interesting. If you’re ready to explore every corner of your imagination (and then some), Lost in Play is all you’ll need to get started.
