Community Insight:
While immediately captivated by the beautiful imagery and the soundscape from the game, we were skeptical of how it would continue to draw you in and be more than just pleasing images to look at. After just 5 minutes of playing we were totally immersed in this gorgeous world and enjoyed every minute of it. We cant wait for the next one.
We got to a certain point in this game or mirages and there was just 3 ways to go,none of which we could get to. This is a beautiful and music is even nice but for a stress free experience we found ourselves more stressed. We are not sure if this is a bug in the game but wish we could keep playing. We deleted the app and will reinstall it and hopefully because we paid for this (which is not an issue for the time put into this).
A beautiful game that transports you to another world. The storyline is compelling and the gameplay includes challenging puzzles that require patience- much like life. As with most winters; Im looking forward to spring.
This game is EXACTLY what we all need to be playing right now. Inside you'll find peace, beauty, adventure, and philosophy during these trying times. The best $ we've spent on a game.
We finished this game in one sitting. We were so excited when we bought it! The story begins with Yin and Yang which we are personally fascinated with. Throughout the story you learn new things about nature and how we as humans play into that role and affect it. It definitely is an abstract concept at times though so you really cant take it all too literally but thats what fits it so well with the art style and music. We cant wait for the spring island to open up! The main goal of the game is to collect all the paintings in each location by completing various tasks, though you dont need all to move on. When we finished we hadnt collected all of the paintings so we started over and found all but two. Its a little frustrating at times but then again if it were easy it wouldnt be much of a game. Great work Martin. And for that matter everyone involved in this piece! Im so excited for the future of this game.
This game is a totally immersive, mysterious sensory bath. It is steeped in eastern philosophy and wisdom. Get lost in this for hours completely incredible.
Good music! Good visual element, aesthetic! Very relaxing game! Nothing to compare so far. New wave in the video game.
Built for you to live it as an experience. Amazing game, amazing graphic.
Will update review when fixed. It does look like a beautiful game though. Pretty boring without sound unfortunately.
We were looking forward to this game. Unfortunately we found the music annoying, not peaceful. There are no settings to speak of. Even most free games allow one to turn off the music but still listen to the ambient sound, and the nature sounds were beautiful. But for us to avoid the music, we had to mute our iPad. On our iPad Pro 11, navigation was difficult. We had to swipe about 10 times to turn 90 degrees. Maybe this works better on a phone. We know this is supposed to be meditative, but meditative does not have to mean slow or cumbersome. Sometimes we wasnt sure if the hazy watercolor strokes were moving or if anything was happening. When the black screen appeared saying 'Loading…' Id had enough. Im sorry we bought this.
Hello we purchased this app through apple is not working properly. When we finish the level where we collect it all sea shells and play the music on shells when we went to go on the next level level. The app try to load the game but it gives us a blank white screen no image and we hear the sound we try many times to close the app and restart it and still does the same thing. We hate to restart such a wonderful game please help or give us half of our money back thanks.
After one of the levels we believe we were going to summer island? The game wont not load whenever we resume game. Just loaded a blank white screen :/.
