“Milo and the Magpies is a beautifully drawn game. It is not your typical puzzle game, as every puzzle is unique and engaging. They are fun to solve, and they never get tiring. They challenge you, yet aren't so difficult…”
“Cats seem to make great computer game subjects (to wit, "Stray", "Copycat", "Planet of Lana", "Stars in the Trash", etc.) and this one follows that track record. This one has charm, humor, peril and fun puzzles to solve…”
“Highly recommend this beautifully crafted click and point puzzle game. It's fun and entertaining. I wish it could have been a bit longer. It's relaxing and pleasant to play.”

“What a unique game~! Milo and the Magpies is a hand drawn puzzle clickfest adventure. I'd highly suggest checking out a guide for some levels, as there are some tricky elements to this simple, almost no words, no…”
“It is a very cute game. I like the art style and little story they had. It has VERY basic puzzles, if you can even call them that. Be forewarned, this game is at most 30mins. It took me longer appreciating the art and…”
“It was OK. The experience boils down to randomly clicking everything on the screen until something happens. Puzzles are very easy. Story is intended to be emotional but only has a little bit of heart at the very end.…”

“A heartwarming story ❤ Short game, small puzzles, not too hard, but I just kept clicking all over the screen which was a tiny bit annoying — iykyk 😅 (especially if you're paranoid you're gonna miss a Secret...) But the…”
