Community Insight:
We love this little blob and the named snow people.
First of all, the little guy who builds the snowman is adorable! We just completed the fifth and final level. We didnt even realize there were more achievements besides building all of the snowmen when we played this last year. We enjoyed the problem-solving brainwork involved with the initial level. Then to start again to build without leaving the room Uff, we could almost hear the gears grinding. But then to build the snowmen for the dreamt achievement now THAT was a huge challenge. This has been a great five days of fun.
Every once and a while we re-download this game and play it through to the end. Each time is as satisfying as the last.
This game is charming and tightly executed. [SPOILER]What really sets it apart are the meta-puzzles after completing the main game. Such a clever idea, Ive rarely played puzzle games that feel like they have so many layers to them. It also manages to feel open-ended without being so open as to seem impossible (e.g. Corrypt).[/SPOILER] The perfect phone puzzler. One of thing Ive noticed is that we have no sound or music. We would have muted it anyway, so no big deal for us, but it may be some kind of bug.
Very challenging puzzle game. Can be very frustrating at times when stumped, and then very rewarding when you figure out the right combination to build the snowman. Great visuals.
Great game: simple, complex, fun, and relaxing all at once.
Great game super fun and relaxing puzzles. Wish thete were more ievell,, thete should be an update! Id oay for it lol.
Our family is hoping for more snowmen and snowwomen to build.
We love this game. The puzzle are challenging but not frustrating. Its also quite soothing. Our daughter calls that little guy Hunty Dunty.
Loved the game but come on there was like 25 levels and the bonus world doesnt really add more challenge just beat it over in this location.
This game was amazing! We enjoyed playing this game in the evening. We like that the only stress was how to build the snowmen. No timers or other distractions. The animation was great too! We liked how the little guy greeted the snowmen as he passed through.
And this one is absolutely delightful – super approachable puzzles with neat solutions in a simple world that warms the heart.
If it were cheaper OR had more levels, we would have given 5 stars. Great little game to keep your mind working.
Paid 4.99 and played through entire game in a few hours. Needs more levels for the cost of the game.
We HATE puzzle games but we loved this one. Thank you so much for this game.
Thank you so much for dropping the price, we've been waiting years for it to drop (we use Appticker)! This would make a great Apple TV app (with cloud save)! We just gifted it to our bro as well. Ever thought of incorporating a level builder? It would be easy to implement, and would initiate organic sharing between your customers. Maybe then even add in a daily user created puzzle, to keep people coming back.
Fairly easy puzzles overall, but SO relaxing and adorable. A perfect way to escape for a moment now and then. Ambient music adds to the charm.
The game involves every feature you can think of. The design is beautiful!! Also this is a great game to sit down and relax during the night. If you don't like very big puzzle games we would not recommend this gamers you, but if you love puzzles that are simple yet complex than this is perfect for you. We're surprised this is actually this cheap being the game has numbers and numbers of puzzles! Now that we have completed the game we would so recommend this to anyone.
A very well thought-out, calming, and innovative game.
One of our favorite games that we have ever played.
Great puzzle game. Please build more on a sequel.
This game is a relaxing, beautifully designed and simple puzzle game that is exactly what we needed in our life.
This is a beautiful puzzle app that is enjoyable to play. There are 5 achievements including a metapuzzle at the end that made the game doubly enjoyable. One complaint is that we wish the achievements were less cryptic. Overall, this game is definitely a recommend for those who enjoy puzzle apps.
5 dollars? Nice game, but very overpriced.
The game idea is amazing The game controls is the worst control we have ever seen, u slide to move and hes going to another place or even another level! The map also very bar, u cant zoom out to see where to go next.
The game appears to be a really good game with all the good ratings. Decided to give it a go. Graphics are nice but does not balance out the gameplay. The controls are hard to get used to and we love puzzle games but we lost it on the second puzzle. A little boring. Reviews must have been made by developers themselves or something, because it's definitely not worth the five dollars we've paid. Was originally going to put 2 stars, but that's only if this game was free. (Good bye.. Five dollars..).
We mean honestly. We are looking around the room for the hidden camera!!! Obviously someone is being paid to write good reviews for this game because it isn't even a game, it's a %#^ joke!!! Doesn't even deserve one star To the clouds for this crap.
We're already addicted to this game and just downloaded it about 10 minutes ago.
We have loved this on iPad and iPhone! The interface is straightforward, and your monster charming. Some of these puzzles are really difficult.
We Like to give the snowmen a long hug (by holding on them) when we finish making them.
This game is everything and more.
This is quite possibly the best app store game we have ever spent money on. We like how you're actually interacting with the environment. Once you get into it the little hedge maze starts to feel like a home and it's very sad when it's over.
This is an amazingly designed game that was built to last for sure. The design in this game is incredible. Each level brings its own little surprise with it. There are a ton of levels that will last you a decent amount of time.A cool part about the game is the fact that it is challenging on half of the levels, but then the other half of them are nice and easy. This is great because after you finish a really tough level, or if you are still in one, it is nice to do an easy one to cool your mind for a little bit. In the car, this is a great game to play because it does not require Wifi, and it takes your mind off of the fact that you are in the car for another 2 hours:). The little things in it count too, like the incredibly soothing music and sounds made in the game. When we first installed the game, we were a little scratchy by the fact that it was said to be really challenging, until we realized that the challenge is what makes the game fun! We would definitely install this game if we were you.
This a pleasantly challenging game.
We love these kinds of brain teasers that are a different direction than the norm. Very relaxing music. One of the most difficult puzzle games we've played yet, but still endearing.
Challenging and relaxing. Great work guys.
This puzzler is very simple yet challenging at the same time. It has attracted our attention and held onto it. We are 70% done and would love to find a game as good when we are finished.
Love it so much it makes us mad.
This game does not have ham but is good.
Amazing and soothing sound track game play its on point we love this game.
Serene, lovely and challenging. Great gameplay with a simple dynamic. Really thoughtful and complementary soundtrack. Love it.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy this great game :).
Wonderful game, very soothing. But hard puzzles.
This is a wonderful puzzle game, it is aesthetically pleasing and is very challenging.
This is a creative, relaxing, and great all around puzzle game. Unfortunately we were able to complete the game the day we purchased it, working on it here and there throughout our day. We would have liked to have seen more puzzles on possibly a new level with a new theme or something to that effect. All in all great, but simply to short.
Love this game. We were a little skeptical buying it, because it looked really simple, but it's actually a very challenging puzzle game. Same thing with SPL-T in that sense. The only reason we're giving it 4 stars is that we wish it had iCloud sync so that progress on our iPad was saved on our phone.
The game crashed at least four times within the first 2 minutes that we opened it. Great concept, but needs an update asap.
Crashes Repeatedly after just a minute or so. Can you please fix or give a refund? Thank you and buh-bye.
To everybody who says the game is too short: after the basic 30 levels there is a masterful puzzle after the end. It is much harder than the basic puzzles, but not impossibly hard. It puts the game into a whole new league! If you haven't bought the game, don't trust those who say it is too short. They haven't found the best challenge. The game is more than worth the money.
Play. Great. Childlike wonder.
