Jan 5, 201190It may be over before you want it, but we'd much rather be left wanting more than feeling the game has worn out its welcome. If that's even possible with ilomilo, it sure wasn't obvious to us.

-
Jan 27, 201185SouthEnd has produced an endearing experience that deserves to be judged on its creative merits alone, and one that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the month's high profile releases.

-
Jan 27, 201180Serious puzzlers will plough through the levels in a matter of hours (although there's some family-pleasing, inter-generational mileage in the two player option) but, for the price, it's hard to grumble. It's also hard to grumble about any game that can leave such a big, goofy smile on your face.
-
Jan 23, 201180A great puzzle game with one of the most beautiful settings seen on the Xbox Live Arcade.
-
Jan 18, 201180ilomilo is a must-have for anyone who loves visual logic puzzles, or co-op puzzle games like the Lost Vikings, as this is basically that mixed with a bit of Katamari Damacy-esque strangeness.
-
Jan 13, 201180Its surprising story and excellent visual design make it a very recommended game for puzzle lovers.
-
Jan 11, 201180A charming little puzzle game with a novel concept and plenty of challenges. The cute look and feel might be a bit too much for some, and the difficulty is a little uneven, but the game is still well worth a look, especially for its two-player mode.
-

-
Jan 8, 201180Ilomilo is enjoyable enough, but it's not the kind of puzzle game that you'll find yourself obsessing over.
-
Jan 8, 201180ilomilo is a complete joy from start to finish; exactly what XBLA needed; and exactly what's needed after fighting some non-cuddly alien maggots with a size 13 boot.
-
Jan 7, 201180An outstanding meal for one. [Feb 2011, p.72]
-
Jan 6, 201180Ilomilo is an incredibly charming puzzle game that will likely be too frustrating for some players and the lack of a fully featured multiplayer mode decreases the replay value dramatically.
-
Jan 6, 201180At 800 Microsoft Points ilomilo is ludicrously good value for money.
-

-
Jan 13, 201179Ilomilo is a nice puzzle game with a great artistic design. A game full of charm and personality.
-
Dec 12, 201175Excellent co-op puzzle game that in this reviewers opinion, tries far too hard to be cute and quirky which forces the game off the mark.
-
Jan 8, 201175Like some of the better Xbox Live Arcade titles, ilomilo is predominantly quality over quantity. While there's only a few hours play to be had, it's a thoroughly puzzling and enjoyable experience. Top it off with its heart-warming feel and ilomilo is certainly a game to consider purchasing, especially at 800 Microsoft Points.
-

-

-
Jan 13, 201170All in all, ilomilo is a successful puzzle game that's sure to delight. Most challenges are fun and satisfying, while never quite out-of-this-world difficult. While the addition of the emotional element doesn't quite fulfill its promises, it's easy to overlook in favor of the careful presentation.
-
Jan 6, 201170The level of whimsy may seem artificially high but this is an inventive and fun puzzler - and a great opening salvo for Xbox Live Arcade in 2011.
-
Jan 5, 201170ilomilo is gorgeous, but flawed. Great ideas are quickly stretched out until they are barely recognisable anymore, and the gameplay moves from being interesting to an almighty slogfest.
-
Jan 11, 201160Even though it's not as much of a must-have as Super Meat Boy, Flower, or Limbo are, ilomilo is a nice little game full of charm and cleverness. It will probably seduce the puzzle fans. Its price and its poetic and polished world will conquer the others.
-
Dec 23, 201060Southend's spatial puzzler is clever enough to survive such a heavy-handed dose of focus-grouped fancy: you won't need to love it in order to appreciate some of its better tricks. [Jan 2011, p.103]
