Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Our whole family loves playing this game, including our 10 and 6 year old kids. The visuals are gorgeous, the soundtrack is lovely, and the puzzles are challenging. Some of them took us quite a few tries to solve. This game was a real treat to play.
One of our most favorite puzzles! But for some reason we were allowed to complete only 12 of the 17 stages. The rest were locked and we are not sure how to unlock. Rather disappointing.
This is one of our favorite iOS puzzle games. We really hope they create a Vision OS version, it would be a great experience.
Intriguing, and just challenging enough without being totally frustrating. There are so few of these types of games made anymore; we truly appreciate the effort of the team that came up with this clever amusement.
Very fun game. We had wanted a casual game we could play without worrying about frequent interruptions. You can take however long you want to between moves, but Im honestly a little dumb and forgot what we were doing so YMMV. We ended up playing through in longer stretches over three days. We hope for more levels, but simply not playing for a month or two and then replaying will probably be sufficient for us.
Love this game works the brain in a relaxing way. We have reset and beat it four times now. Wish they would come out with more levels.
Amazing worth the money we love it.
We just finished Winterfest. We certainly hope the developers are working on new adventures for our little explorers. We want more.
Loved this peaceful puzzle experience. Move at your own pace no pressure and solve ingenious architectural puzzles to an beautiful musical score. Have played through it several times. Delicious.
This game is a perfect example of beautifully designed puzzles games: the core rules are simple and intuitive, yet the puzzles based on these rules are nontrivial and fun. The difficulty curve is quite smooth, without being too challenging or boring. The whole game took us about 4 hours to complete (including story and winterfest), which is great for a mobile game considering the price. Our only complaint is occasional bugs which require a restart of the level and they are a bit frustrating.
Very cute game with fun puzzles. On the shorter side, but still good value for the price.
We really enjoyed this game – so much so thats played it all in one night! We are hopeful there will be sequels or more levels added to this as the developers are able – its beautiful and challenging.
Incredible and fun. Difficult at times but makes you think harder.
This game was so visually beautiful and we loved the music as well. Such a fun way to focus our mind yet it is such a peaceful puzzle solving experience. The underlying Message of teamwork is exactly what the world needs right now! Highly recommend.
Exactly what we were looking for: a puzzle game with characters and a bit of a storyline.
Awesome game! Fun puzzles and amazing graphics. Would be nice to have iCloud support to play across devices. Very excited to see you have Apple TV app! Controller support! It is great with either the controller or remote. Keep up the good work.
If you are a fan of the Go series. The Tomb Raider and the assassin, then you should like this game. Beautiful puzzles and very well thought out.
We are always craving for a puzzle/strategy game with multiple AI companions and this game just fits this category. We finished the story and it has more levels to offer after that! The level of difficulty is both challenging and fun even for adults. The graphics are beautiful – its not too bright and excessive like most mobile games, and it has the minimalist look but not dull at all. We seriously enjoyed this and its worth every penny.
Thank you thank you thank you for making this game color blind friendly. Initially we were frustrated because we couldnt see the difference between the green and yellow characters. But you can change their colors! Such an amazing accessibility enhancement. Oh and the game is super fun.
Loved this game. It was a puzzle solver that gave you all the time in the world to solve. Several levels at the end took a long time to complete, making this easily worth the money. We hope to see more from this company. Well done.
This was an excellent game. Some parts were harder than others, but all required you to think through the order of moves in order to complete the puzzle. Five stars.
Overall we thought this was a fun game with a unique mechanic and Im glad we bought it. The puzzles started off easy, but quickly ramped up in difficulty. The puzzles were challenging, but never frustrating. Theres a decent number of levels, but at times we thought they were a bit repetitive. Also, the rotating tile puzzle at the end of every set of levels felt like filler that could easily be omitted. Once youve solved one of these, you can easily solve them all. Still, we generally liked the game and would love to see more levels or a sequel.
Great game with challenging levels but we can play through the whole game in a hour or so. We expect for a paid game for it to be a bit longer.
Just started playing today and we cant get any of the sounds to work. Verified its not game or phone user settings.
Idk its just another puddle game, its cute and all but definitely not worth the money.
Clever and engaging but not too demanding. Happy chattering little characters who gamely tolerate the others jumping on their heads. Its got that were all in this together feel.
We finished and sure hope youll add more levels because this game was terrific! We loved being able to restart each time we got stuck because eventually this helped us find this solution on our own which was very satisfying. The perfect level of puzzle solving for us and we especially liked the levels with baskets…tricky.
This game is both fun and challenging. Some of the puzzles required us to backtrack and rethink how to solve them. That s a good thing. The developers should be very proud of this effort. Highly recommended.
Great game! We want more!!!!!!!! Beautiful, soothing, interesting, challenging for not frustrating. Give us more.
Charming graphics. Good puzzles. We echo the other reviewers who say they wish the puzzles got harder. Also: the music and sound are nice, but Id prefer to be able to listen to something else. Unfortunately, opening the app stops all other audio.
Was just informed that there was a few levels added to the game. Reinstalled to find out none of our stuff was saved. Thats really dumb and kills the feeling of achievement when opening the game again.
Average game, appears to be mainly a personal information collector.
Change the avaudiosession category to ambient so podcasts can be listened to while playing the game.
Im 66 years old and bought this to have a way to connect to our grandson, who plays games like MineCraft. Which, if course, is way over our head. This looked like something we might be able to do. When we ran into a snag, we sat down with him and he would work it out easily. So, it gave us something to connect with and that was wonderful. We hate that the game is so short. But, for senior citizens would really enjoy this.
Kinda like a cross between Monument Valley and Laura Croft GO ( turn based puzzles), kinda. We will GLADLY PAY FOR MORE levels! Only complaint is that a few of the levels could have been slightly more complicated – but this is only a minor issue. Great Job.
We played this game for the first time at MagFest 2020 and before we were fifty steps away from the game booth we had already purchased it on our iPhone. Amazing visual feedback, extremely clear and intuitive puzzle mechanics, and a very enjoyable overall theme. This game will have you thinking about playing it in between play sessions.
We enjoyed this very much. Thank you for letting us go back (after completing a level) to find the hidden coins without having to do the level again. That was a nice thing to discover. Hopefull, more levels coming.
Unacceptable for a paid for app to have such long term glitches. Often times the colors will be invisible making it impossible to know how to finish the level.
We love this game SO much!! (Please make more chapters) It is so stimulating and fun! 5 STARS! Highly recommend.
We hardly ever write reviews but this game was excellent! It was just hard enough to get the brain working. We will admit we had to check the walkthrough for two sections (one in level 7 and one in level 11). The addition of Winterfest was great. It was well worth the cost. Please make more levels or a second game.
Challenging — in the best way. We loved everything about this puzzle game and wish it hadn't ended. If we're lucky, there will be more like this from the creators. Kudos to everyone who contributed to this fun experience.
We really love this game and the new update so far, however there was a bug in the new levels. The green guy is frozen when climbing down the ladder in the first round of the new level. Hope this is fixed soon.
Need more levels soon! Really fun.
Looking forward to more. Really great job with the graphics, music and , of course, the puzzles. Our kinda game.
Such a fun game with enjoyable puzzles and beautiful art. Hope for more level someday.
We enjoyed this game. It was challenging but we must say with some perseverance we were able to complete it. Hopefully there will be more games like this in the future. Thanks for hours of great entertainment.
We hope you make a ton of money and hire some more developers. Lets get some more levels…:).
If you liked Monument Valley you will love this game. We thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Challenging and fun.
We enjoyed taking our time through the levels after reading comments about wishing the game was longer. We look forward to more levels being added.
We enjoyed this game. Wish there were more like it. Thanks to the developers for doing a great job.
