A lovely story with captivating atmosphere. I loved the wonderful rhymed lines and great music. The visuals are simple yet nice. A short, but emotional experience.

I originally played this game on mobile and absolutely loved every moment of it, from start to finish. I bought it on Steam just to leave this review, hoping to encourage Machineboy to release another game soon 😊. Thank you for creating such beautiful games ❤️.

July 2024

Milkmaid of the Milky Way is a point & click game. The game aesthetics are pixel art and this is only the start... actually I won't write the whole review in rhyme, if I want to be done in time. So yes the writing is nice and poetic, everything is written in rhyme. The music is great, the ambience is there, honestly this is quite the hidden gem! Some puzzles are a little nonsensical as is usually the case with those type of games (using a frog next to a cog so it screams to get an oil can, for instance,) but most of the puzzles were easy enough and enjoyable. The game has a lot of running around with unskippable transitions, but I guess that the game is already quite short, so it's not that bad. The story is really intriguing and I can say there was a lot of creativity involved in the whole thing. The characters are adorable (well MOSTLY) and the experience is worth the time spent. Overall, a fine point and click game that is between 1 to 2 hours long with a good story.

April 2024

Milkmaid of the Milky Way is a fun and short point n click adventure, giving you exactly what it promises. You play as Ruth, a milkmaid whose cows gets abducted by aliens. Determined to save your cows, you end up on an alien spacecraft. As you continue to explore, the story unfolds. It's well-written and keeps you interested in wanting to see the conclusion. The gameplay is simple point n click, you pick up items and you interact with the environment. But more isn't needed for this game, it does perfectly what it's supposed to. It's a good modern title in the genre, not being too edgy or too illogical with its puzzles. I recommend this game for both hardcore fans and newcomers to the point n click genre. I'm also definitely interested in trying other the developer's latest title.

March 2024

Really fun little classic point'n'click adventure. I live for adorable little indie games like this, it's so charming. Lovely artwork and music, fun characters. A great bit of nostalgia with no nonsensical puzzles. Definitely worth the few hours of your time it will take to complete.
