Community Insight:
We finished the game in one sitting. The puzzles were challenging but not frustrating. The music and haptics were perfect. We wish there was more levels.
But this game absolutely deserves one. Its a color block puzzle game where you move the room to empty it. Its beautifully designed, the music is relaxing, and it has no ads. We downloaded it last night and have already played through 20 levels. If you want something to really help you relax and slow down, this is the game for you. Absolutely insane that its a free game. Incredible.
Its literally perfect. We seriously wish that there was more of it.
This game is amazing very calm and suiting, also its a cheeky game it and its really fun. This game almost makes us adapt to certain aspects and until we do we go to next level or chapter :).
We love this game. Its a think out of the box game and quote are inspiring and always love to play kinda games. Waiting for next game.
This games thoughtful design, excellent music, absorbing gameplay, and lack of ads makes it an all time great game to play on your phone. Highly recommend.
We have never wrote a review for a game on the App Store before. This game was so amazing we needed to write one. Between the peaceful puzzles, the bit of challenge that came with them (but not too hard where you want to rage quit), the colors, the smoothness, and themes, Im writing to beg the creators PLEASE MAKE MORE LEVELS! We cannot get enough of this game. Its rare as an adult we find a game on the App Store that we feel is worth keeping or playing. This game was perfect! We hope the creators choose to make more levels someday because we need it! 10/10.
Amazing game. We want WAY more levels.
This is unlike any other game. Its not some stupid content farm, ad filled game, not some kind of a switcheroo. This game is a very creative idea. A masterpiece. It talks to you in ways a generic puzzle game could never do, and builds up difficulty in a great and smooth way its creative in many ways (oh god that one thing with the window and the chandelier and the chalkboard was so cool) and is so simple, yet so complicated most bad reviews just dont look in every direction, and we are talking about the game as well our only real complaint is that we played for an hour and the game was kinda finished it must be metaphorical in a way though.
We lovedddd this game! Made our brain have to put in work. No ads. Perfect peaceful.
We never leave reviews for games, but we really want to support this creator! This game is so unique, calming, and fun.
Kind of repetitive but oddly we didnt mind at all. Wholesome messages. ~60min.
Ive told all our friends about this and our family dude this game is so awesome and on top of that NO ADS its beautiful and so abstract we love the quotes and just everything about it.
What a great app! No ads. No lag. No in app purchases. Just a simple, yet challenging game. The only gripe we have is we havent found an option to disable the sound.
This game is awesome. It helped us keep an open mind. This game teaches kids and adults to think outside the box. It kept us focused and helped us really open our eyes and see our surroundings. The lofi is amazing. And before u get the app let us tell you you can use other music like example is used it in the car and we listened to other lofi and our playlists while playing. We really liked the game hope they make more levels or a sequel.
This could be our first enjoyable game for us as its simplicity and immersive gameplay. Love it and big thanks to the team.
Normally we dont like to write about any games related review because we always got games that tell you no ads but they lied. The annoying ads were on every time you passed a level. However this puzzle game doesnt have ads. Awesome feeling to accomplish a level and move on without watching another ads. Best of all, the 3D graphics design is amazing especially for people loving both calming puzzles (without time restrictions) and colors. Love it! Hope theres more of this type of game.
We didnt expect this game to be as difficult and fun as it was yet we struggled even in a few earlier levels but the levels are so relaxing to beat.
The game graphics are great, thanks for this game, its impressive, but please release & compose more levels with new updates.
We wish we would have had as good of luck as many other people who left reviews but we're getting a glitch that won't allow us to continue with the game and it's pretty early on. The object is clearly within all the required borders and it is the only item left to remove yet the game will not accept it. We are positive it is not us doing something wrong we have had many other people attempt to solve it in any way they can and it just won't let us continue to play. Bummer because it is a cute game and we could see ourselves playing a lot but this is so frustrating we're just deleting it and forgetting it ever existed for our own sanity. Good luck to those who try but we could t succeed.
Now this is how you make a nice and simple but challenging game. The music nice and relaxing, the world in this game is colorful but good on the eyes and the little in between the levels are very thoughtful and give nice perspective on life and all its beauty. We cant wait to see what game you guys make next. A true Masterpiece this game is. 5/5 Stars.
Really beautiful game. No ads, free hints, super simple and straightforward! Gives you a bit of a challenge but still manages to be calming.
Its refreshing to find a quality app that counts on the app selling itself. We hate paying for apps, but this one, not being a money-grab app, allowed us to donate $25 – more than we would consider paying for other apps. Keep up the good work.
This game is the best!!! We love it so much but please please PLEASE add more levels we lover this game so much and we love how there r no adds.
This game had us at ease. The perfect amount of stress without actually stressing you to stop playing. We played without the music and it still was so peaceful :) wish it didnt end.
It is not often we wrote reviews for games but this one being as immersive as it is…. Just calls for one. This game had NO ADS, FREE HINTS, ZERO PAYWALL. That is simply unbelievable given this wuality of game is usually charged for. It's not short its long enough and we love the little messages in between it's simply a work of art and quite calming in our opinion. We wanted it to get the recognition it deserves.
This is a wonderful game that we greatly enjoyed playing. Only downside is we wish it had more levels.
This game is so much fun! We wish there was more! Please create more games and put them on the App Store.
Quite short and simple mans us you our brain greatest puzzle game Ive ever played.
Youre going to love it. If you dont, its you- youre the problem So go fix yourself. Then come back. Cheers.
Phenomenal. For a free game with no adds 10/10. The game is unique and clever. Everything from the quick tutorial, the beautiful music and the actual gameplay are just fantastic. We really enjoyed the quotes/questions in the game too. Quite introspective.
Great game wish there were more levels.
We really enjoyed this app! We would pay for more levels.
This game has it all beautiful design; no ads; challenging; fun. The only negative aspect is that it ends! Add more levels, please.
In a time where the AppStore is riddled with shoddy creations this was a refreshing experience. It was pretty easy in our opinion, maybe took us 30 minutes tops, but oh well, it seems nearly impossible for others that have made reviews, so its probably hard enough for most out there. The concept is interesting, fun and reminds us of Echochrome from our childhood, with the core gameplay being 3D alignment puzzles. Ill likely be sharing this game with everyone we meet, it wont hurt to try out such a well made experience.
We love this game! Such a simple little puzzle game. We only got stuck on the alarm clock level, we couldnt get the plant to line up anywhere but trust it lines up with the mirror.
We are only a few levels in, but so far it is pretty simple, relaxing and exactly what we were looking for to help take our mind off life.
No ads, no in-app purchases, just a calming soundtrack and a straightforward gameplay.
This is a game that is so much more than a game. A game you need more than you want. Simple, straight forward, calming and enjoyable. Our only gripe is that its sort enough to wish you had more. No ads, no micros, just thoughtful design and inspirational quotes. Slow down and appreciate this piece of art for a few hours. Youll be better for it.
We absolutely love this game! We gotta say this is the best game Ive ever played on our phone. We already finished it and wish there were more levels. Its so peaceful and calming and the colors are beautiful. Amazing game developers.
We lost our grandfather last year, before him our friend of four years during lockdown, before her our dear uncle while we were pregnant with our first child and even before him we lost our best friend who was only thirteen, but our first introduction into grief was losing our 9 day old sister. Grief is sneaky, and compounding. We thought surely we would die an unnatural death because it would kill us. In the midst of trying to surface the waves of grief Ive looked towards video games with a message. This one was free, unexpected and certainly beautiful. The soundtrack, the mechanics of gameplay and even the little messages in between levels were harmonious and relaxing but also gave us an entire new perspective on life. Some of the questions were deep, and introspective but even if it wasnt the games intent, one of the messages made us realize that we were coping in an unhealthy manner you cannot buy yourself into happiness with things you dont need so we want to say thank you to the creators for giving us a new look on not only is it okay to miss things and people, but that unnecessary searching for them wont bring them back. Beautiful game. Beautiful message. Beautiful music and beautiful well crafted levels. Thank you truly for the experience of Empty.
Finally, a new kind of puzzle game that doesn't bombard you with ads and really makes you think. We have really enjoyed every level. Some are frustrating and you have to get everything lined up just so, but the fun is in the challenge. We would definitely buy more levels if they were offered. There are no in-app purchases. We hope these developers will consider making more levels and offering them for purchase. Make some money, guys! It's worth it! We played through until the end. Now, with no more levels to go, we're sad to leave this game behind. Thanks for the fun.
This game is proof that creativity and gameplay are what matters. We were able to pick it up and know what to do with zero instruction and no overblown tutorials. There arent boxes and coins as a substitute for content. Its simple to learn, difficult to master and extremely well done. Great job developer.
We absolutely love this game/puzzles. We have played it through a couple of times and its the best! We recommend it often! Keep up the amazing work.
The music is absolutely lovely, the gameplay is just challenging enough to keep you thinking but not enough to make you frustrated. This perfect combo is an amazing sleep aid for when you're winding down but can't fall asleep.
We have never finished a game in our life. We are so upset we are finished! We want more.
We are compelled to say, after playing this game repeatedly, that its one of the most relaxing and tranquil, yet still highly engaging, games Ive ever encountered. This is some wonderful programming and design work. Our congrats to the designers/producers. Thank you for this.
Beautiful ad free calming puzzle game. Tips: if you tap on screen, it shows outline of all objects. Tap bottom right for hints, but be careful the reset button is right next to the hint button.
We really like the game but its frustrating when you get stuck and want to put it away for a while and come back to it. But every time we do all of our progress is lost. If we have to do the whole room in one sitting Im liable to throw our phone through the window! Please can you make it save your progress.
There is no option to turn sounds and music off.
