Community Insight:
This game is so stupid we hate it we cant even place a portal.
This game is a lot like Portal combined with Doom, but we do like the effort.
We love portal! Its like wolfenstien from the 90s meets portal. Still, its very challenging! Graphics could be better, controls need some tightening up but overall a fun game.
We keep crashing and this is a copy.
We have always wanted a game like this.the levels are tricky and challenging and we like that sort of thing.we would love it if you made a Update where you could make portals that can go vertically.
Simple and awesome game sorta like portals but different. The puzzles are really fun and thought out too.
This game is the most fun Ive ever seen, but we wish you could look down and up As we play it all the time, we started being dumb and making a story… We never do that, good job.
We've been playing Portal and similar games for a long time. As such, we have a bit of an urge to jump on a portal type game when we see one. This game is great. It brings us happiness to play it. However, we only have one request, would it be possible to add a level maker feature? We are aware that this would take a lot of programming, but if you would add it, we would love this, it'd be our mobile dream.
Hi the game is good can you add a boss battle like you have to use the portals in order to destroy the boss and the only ways that you can deafeate it is placing lazers and then it will hit the boss.
This is such an amazing game! So addicting! Highly recommend.
This is the best hidden game on the iOs store! We showed all our friends and now theyre all addicted too. Its like heroin, but for the mind.
It is a very fun game and you get it for free.
This was a triumph Im making a note here: Huge success Its hard to overstate our satisfaction Aperture science We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead But theres no sense crying Over every mistake You just keep on trying Til you run out of cake Then the science gets done And gig make a neat fun For the people who are still alive.
There are multiple reasons that we do not like this game. One reason being this is a portal ripoff. Another is the bad graphics. You should be able to shoot through fences.
The game crashes after every single level that we play! It is also very bad quality.
Yeah Im not trying to be rude but this game needs for real help we always try to walk around but when we go to a window we go through it by a glitch and we can never get out so we always have to reload the game and then Ill start us at the beginning again and it will keep happening Im sorry but we do not recommend.
Its technically a roblox obby but WORST you cant look down and you can not even shoot at least not for us.
Its fine for three next levels.
This is an awesome game! You can beat level 20 without extra shields! Love this game.
Not sure if we understand how to play this game properly, but we cannot get passed the first level of the space station.
The cake is a lie The cake is a lie.
This game is great and easy. Cool graphics. Easy to follow along, you just need to know what you are doing and you have to be focus. Very fun game.
The first thing that we did was pay for a extra shield on the 2 level we won you should get the game.
We missed our flight for our sisters wedding because of this game. Addicting.
This game is Amazing and with so many challenging levels we can only say one downside or you could say a special challenge. You cant jump over lava pits but you can earn a shield to go through. We got this game because we wanted a mobile version of the game Portal, that was a great idea.
Dont know if anyone else had this prob but we couldnt even play a portal.
We feel as though on the type of ice we cant move on we should be able to move once we fully stop.
Nice game, fun to play and very nostalgic. It would be cool to add music.
We had fun with the game it was challenging and hard but when we got to level 20 it got impossible we tried everything but we couldnt complete it without an extra shield. If Im wrong is there anyway you can make a guide to completing the level. Thanks.
We like this game but there is some problems like you cant look down and also there is only 20 but there is more for 1:99.
Si la mecnica de portales est bien ,pero el juego se basa ms en conseguir escudos que su principal llamativo.
Not much of a gamer but we really like this one! Love that its focused on the functional puzzle solving and not extra frills or ornamentation. The objectives, rules and elements are simple and the developer has come up with some really crafty, tricky ways of putting these together to make some addicting puzzles. Cant wait for more levels.
This game is fun! We see a lot of a feedback about purchasing the shields. And you dont have to buy them. You just need to use them conservatively so you can see around corners drop a portal and go back safely.
We love this game, but cannot beat the last two levels! Or level 3 of the space station.
Theres is never enough shields. Sometimes we get to the end and we need 4 shields, but theres only 3 in the entire level. So we have to pay money to use extra shields. So plz add more. Other than that the game is pretty addicting.
Nothing about the concept, but there are some glitches going on where the buttons are offscreen and the looking controls are locked up. If it helps, Im playing ok an iPhone 8 plus, running iOS 12.
Did not work. Buttons were 1/2 off the screen. Could only lay down the red portal. Developers need to fix it.
Dont know if it was just us but 1. The controls dont fit on the screen, we can only see the top half of each button 2. Touch control isnt centered, has to tap an inch to left of each button 3. Some of the levels didnt even require portals 4. Its just a portal ripoff with worse graphics.
The game is great, its camera control & graphics are reminiscent of something youd find while playing old pc titles like Doom or Wolfenstein, and the mechanics are very similar to the precursor to Portal known as Narbacular Drop. Our only issue with the game thus far would be the lack of levels available, Level 16 of the base set, and the lack of exposure online. (Making hints for the game practically non-existent.).
This is a perfect game!!It soo fun and the graphics are marvelous and when you go through a portal its like you just went through a archway into a different dimension!Its awesome.But we do have a few things you should fix.Some of the levels you HAVE to use the extra shields in the pause menu.So we go to the pause menu for extra when we ran out,and when we tried to watch a video,it doesnt work.Like,it wasnt a button or something.And when it tries to take us to a ad,its just pitch black.So we have to start the game over.But other than that,this game is awesome!Keep up the updates so we can keep playing levels.
Great game graphics werent the best but its exactly what was needed for the game it is. Perfect just needs more levels. We shouldnt have to pay for more levels, definitely not worth buying more levels. Fantastic game tho.
Game is challenging and very much enjoyable and fun.
Cool game, makes you think after several levels.
The level design is challenging but enjoyable. And once you beat a level it is fun to speed run it and try to get the fastest time on the leaderboards.
This game is a total ripoff of portal and its kind of boring to.
