A great escape from boss fights, precision platforming and the accompanying frustrations in this relaxing game of logical puzzles, colorful scenes and artifact searches to help your character blast off into space, one step at a time up a very long elevator. I'm really liking all the Cotton Game productions I've taken a stab at so far and have not been disappointed yet.

The entire game has no dialogues, and the story is told using pictures, but it's more than enough to put you in tears. Every time the elevator goes up, you will enter into a new world and solve a variety of puzzles. Each puzzle that you solve will reward you with a blue sphere so the elevator can travel upward. This game is more than just elevator travel or puzzle-solving. It has a touching and beautiful story behind. The elevator also brings the main character back to his childhood memories before the unfortunate event. Despite the main character having to revisit all those bittersweet memories, it's also a meaningful journey that fulfils his dream of escaping to a happy life.

I had a great time with One Way: The Elevator! It’s a super cute game with a heart-tugging story and puzzles that hit the sweet spot of being challenging enough to be satisfying, but logical enough that you won't need a guide. I did run into one small annoyance where the background music and puzzle audio played over each other, but it only happened in one level. I played it through to the end and loved the experience, even if I didn't go back for every achievement.

I knew that the next game from Cotton Game studio would once again carry my soul while incredibly hand-drawn artie casts and main little guy with and his little red nose. Bringing such a kind characters to life must have been nothing, but an amazing shot of a joy in the animation studio. With every floor I passed through, I felt as if I were melting into it, as the charming roles filled my heart with pure happiness. I won’t spoil this emotional story for anyone; I only want to gently tell people that even through hard times and gloom, we can fulfill every possible dream that comes to us—with a relieving smile. Whoever still has a little strength left in the dark world they live in will one day awaken into a colorful, soothing one. And once that happens, nothing will stop you. „𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘹 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘭𝘥, 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳.

It was a joy to take part in this delightful project. I feel touched. Thank you. I strongly recommend it. P.S. The achievement Waiting is deeply moving, if you save it for the very very end of the game. 🚀10/10 ⭐
