What Makes Evo Explores Stand Out
• If something looks real – it is real! If you don't see a problem – there is no problem at all. Just trust your eyes!
• The regular laws of physics don't apply in Evo Explores. Even the gravity is under control of your imagination.
• Manipulate surreal structures to solve mind blowing puzzles. Every level will unravel the history of Byte planet and its citizens.
• Construct optical illusions to built impossible paths and guide Evo to the finish door.
• Evo Explores was inspired by a gorgeous Monument Valley game. We are big fans of original game, but we love Evo Explores even more! Come share this feeling with us!
Features
- 45 unique mind blowing levels combined into 14 chapters
- Relaxing gameplay. No need to hurry
- Accessible for all ages and for any experience in games

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Really enjoyed this game. Very similar to Monument Valley.
We liked Monument Valley and this plays a lot like that. No timer, no score, but patterns that bend geometry and take time to figure out. We will play more games by this developer.
At first we thought this app is, perhaps, the next best alternative to Monument 3, but after playing for a while, Im thinking it is absolutely as good as the Monument Series. Watch out Monument, youve got competition.
We do like this game! It is very challenging and its like Monuments. We love puzzle games and this is one of our favorites. So if you are reading the reviews to see if its good, we do recommend this game if you like puzzles or you like Monuments.
This game has the same puzzle play and artistic elements as MV albeit less story and also shorter puzzles. Overall we would recommend as an enjoyable pass time.
We became hooked with MV and was so happy to see this game. Excellent! We just need more levels! We wish there were more games like this one out there. Please develop more.
We love this game it reminds us of monument valley which is one of our all time favorite games.
We really enjoyed the game and cant wait until the next installment.
If you like Monument Valley, youll definitely like this game. Fun and sometimes challenging puzzles in that same vein.
Nice puzzles. Not super hard but enjoyable.
Beautiful, entertaining and calming all at the same time.
So nice! Thank you for your hard work. This is amazing and very entertaining, cute and so on. :0) we think anyone would enjoy this. For all ages.
We all love Monument Valley but, we found EVO Explores just as entertaining and challenging. It was relaxing and Evo is a cute character to guide. Graphics were seamless and some of the puzzles were easier than others but, overall we would say the game was successful.
Really loved this little game. Just the right amount of challenge with a nice story line. Well done. Looking forward to the next instalment.
We loved MV and this is similar but with the vintage tech theme. The levels are fun some take some thinking, more like looking at it at a different perspective. Keeps the brain working! Great for all ages.
We enjoyed the story and the puzzles in the MC Escher-like world. Even though some puzzles resembled those from the Monument Valley games, they still presented unique challenges. Definitely worth purchasing and playing through.
Is there going to be any new updates on this app like a sequel.
Shameless imitation of monument valley (we assume MV came first). But it is nonetheless fun to play. And if you like MV, which we do, you'd enjoy this game. Might not have the same level of artidtry but still engaging enough to earn five stars from us.
Definitely inspired by Monument Valley, but fresh and fun.
That was so fun and honestly we liked it almost as much as MV. And considering the huge difference in production value, Rock on!!! Oh yeah and, MORE PLEASE:).
Heres a chance to use your Monument Valley skills as many obstacles are familiar or build on the familiar quirky reality. Havent finished the game yet but am enjoying it.
We enjoy this little game, but at about Level 10 on our (up to date) iOS, we hit a roadblock where no matter how or where we tap along the path, the figure will not move. We kind of accidentally got past that freeze on one level, only to run up against it on another level. This isnt a big complaint, because for the price we got a good amount of ad-free play.
This game was developed by Ukrainian developers. Buying this game is one small way to show support. As so many others have said – this shares a lot with Monument Valley – especially the look. This game is well worth the low price – the small size and being ad free are bonuses. Game play is similar to MV but shorter and less challenging. Its like a zen version of MV. We doubt Ill play this again, whereas we can imagine another run-through of MV. We enjoyed it and would recommend it, with those caveats, to anyone who liked MV. Ill also seek out other games by this Ukrainian developer.
Its like buying the discount store version of Monument Valley. Same basic mechanics, but everything is a little off. It feels kind of gross to give your money to such a blatant copy, but if youve already played through MV and need a MV fix well, here you go. MV is better in all the ways though.
We were loving this game until we reached level 14. The first puzzle in this level level has a glitch that wont let us get on the platform to move onto the area with the red button, so frustrating because now we cant go past this level and finally finish. Ughh.
We came to this after finishing Monument Valley and MV2, both of which we found enchanting and engrossing. The puzzles here were on par with those in the MV games. If youve enjoyed Monument Valley, youll enjoy this as well.
If we had never played MV, we might have liked this more but Im glad we played MV first Strengths: Some levels are interesting, especially the one with two charactersthe teamwork element was different. The graphics are simple but appealing and clear. It has some of the same challenges as MV, and if that was new to someone it would be fun. Also, liked being able to pay minimal fee and not have ads. Weaknesses: 1) The hints were annoying and detracted, and they went beyond the first couple of levels. Sure its challenging w/no hints, but it is a PUZZLE. 2) While It is Escher-like, there was still logic to the deception in MV. A few of these just involved random tapping to get to solution.
We love these type of games, no one gets killed except your brain sometimes.
WALL-E meets Monument Valley. Its an easy distraction.
Its basically an easier MV. Its not super long, but its enjoyable and totally worth 2.99.
Good game, but we wish there weren't hints if we don't touch the screen for a few seconds. Wish there was a way to turn these off in the settings. Otherwise, it's great! Hope this gets fixed to make the most enjoyable experience.
Ok..so when we first saw this, we couldnt believe someone had ripped off Monument Valley app… Its a simpler version. Having said that, if you loved MV, then you will enjoy getting to do these type of puzzles again! Not too difficult, and overall-its relaxing and enjoyable. We would love the developers to explain how they were able to develop a version that is SO similar to MV? We think that will satisfy many potential players.
Obviously inspired by the monument valley games. (we were kind of hoping to see that theyd been mentioned in the credits somewhere.) The story is okay, but needs some polishing for sure. It would be nice to have something a bit more fleshed out than the relatively cliche civilization gets rekt by computers thing. Although we did appreciate the attempt to make the narrative less abstract, we cant help but feel like something important is missing there. The graphics are very nice, the music is soothing, and we got a couple hours of puzzle solving from this game. We cant quite give it five stars because, although this game is enjoyable as a stand-alone experience, it really does pale in comparison to the monument valley series.
Want more to play right away w/robot.
A game thats similar to monument valley but a bit less colorful and mystical. The storyline is cool though. We beat it in one morning and a night of playing. We wish it had some more chapters! We find that these kinds of games leave us wanting more.
We love this game, mostly because it reminds us of monument valley. Though in our opinion, because monument valley is now almost like a series, what with MV1, FS, ID, AND MV2, this game should have just been added on to the monument valley game. We know- Im crazy.
There's a setting to turn on sounds but it doesn't do anything.
This game is the exact same as monument valley but worse story. This is just like the character is talking to you wheres the mystery or wonder. With a game like this we feel let down because of the story alone.
Restarts from beginning every time. Waste of money.
We wanted more MV. We didnt get it here. Charmless story, easy puzzles. We wonder if Ustwo is flattered or annoyed.
This game is for Monument Valley addicts who cant wait for MV3. The game play is almost a direct copy of MV, but without the magic, the beauty, and the complexity. It might be good for children. Ours had a glitch at Level 12 that was impassable, so that was that.
Levels are boring and easy. Story is uninteresting we got through all levels expecting after each level that it was last training level, but game just ended.
This is a direct copy of monument valley ,and as such , the least you could do is add your own unique twist (something more inventive than flipping a cassette )and your own creative story linebut you didnt bother to do even that. Im sure you will be successful since many gamers obviously dont care if ideas are derivative as evidenced by your ratings. But we both know you could do better. Disappointed.
We knew there were hints from reading other reviews, but we were misled by a review that said the hints only appear if you touch the screen for a few seconds – and we thought ok, we just wont do that. But the hints are there like it or not (for the first few levels apparently). We realize the misleading review is not the developers fault, but the bad design is. We don't want to be shown where to put our fingers, at all. Ruins the exploratory experience completely. We need to be able to turn hints off from the start. We realize its just the first few levels, but those are ruined levels. Not playing it until/unless an update fixes this. Will give 5 stars if that happens. If that doesnt ever happen, we wasted our money we guess. :(.
It took us about an hour to get to and complete level 14.Then the little robot got into his spaceship and flew off.At first we thought he was going to the next level/planet, but he just kept flying.we waited for like 5 minutes, and he just kept flying! How do we get past level 14? PLEASE help us.
Make a 2nd version where Evo meets dinosaurs.
This game was very enjoyable and we found it to be relaxing as well as satisfying which is what we believe most people are hoping for in the experience of playing a game in the first place.
Yes, this is "inspired" by Monument Valley but it is done very well. If you enjoyed MV you'll like this.
If you like MV and want more of it, this is your game.
Only complaint is you need more levels! Please.
