Community Insight:
The art and music go perfect together in this game. The game itself is very fun. Tricky at times, but progresses at a nice pace so you arent stumped right at the first few levels. We really grateful that they made this game. We hope they continue to make more! As an aside, we discovered this game while searching for paid apps. We find ourselves constantly uninstalling games because of too many ads, in app purchases, gem packs, etc.. We just want to pay for a game so we can enjoy it.. Not go through some capitalist nightmare where we see every permutation of how to get more money out of us while trying to spend a few minutes relaxing with a game. We will gladly spend what the developer thinks their game is worth, if the game looks fun. Our goal is to have fun, and presumably a game developer wants to create something fun. Sorry for the rant, just hoping other developers see this and start going with the simpler business model of letting consumers buy your app instead of all the shenanigans. Thank you again for making this game.
Please make more levels! Ive played all 60 levels 3 times now. If you enjoy puzzles and soothing music, get this game.
Hoping that this game can have more levels.
Good stuff. Fun, good looking puzzler. Im ready for the next one.
This game is one of the best puzzle games Ive played. That being said we would LOVE more levels to be added to the game as its somewhat short of a game.
Bought this game several days ago and have been quite impressed by the relaxing atmosphere this game creates. Excellent sound/music, well-designed puzzle system. Def worth the price of admission especially during these stressful times with the current public health concerns. The further impressive part is that the game actually got stuck on a blank loading screen about 12 levels in on the first day so we were pretty bummed out. We submitted a bug request on the developer website that day and actually got a direct reply asking for details on the problem. We replied and less than 24 hours later got another developer email stating that he had discovered the bug and fixed it. The update was available on the App Store the following day, and the game is working great again. Overall a high quality game and great stress reliever for anyone into simple puzzle games.
We played it for a while and enjoyed it. But the next time we opened te app, it went to a black screen with the "swipe up" chevron on the bottom and some really loud music. It hangs there, and nothing we do can make it do anything else. We did a hard restart of our phone, deleted and reinstalled the game… Nothing.
Seriously, everything about it was crafted with artistry, care and smooth game play. It is the most relaxing puzzle solving game Ive ever tried. It has some very challenging levels that can take a long time to figure out – BUT! With the zen-like music, the ability to use unlimited undos, the soft sounds of water and quiet clicks of moving the pieces, you find yourself drawn in and more than willing to keep at it. The game offers no instructions, but the developers cleverly designed each level to gradually teach you the game mechanics – and then the natural mechanics of water flowing, pooling, and falling are always delightful to work with. The reward when you succeed is the springing up of a lovely flower with a musical bling – dont underestimate that! It charms us every time. Ive had our friends and family try this game and they love it, too. Even our dad, who is really into puzzlers and very, very hard to please, loves this game. He told us he wished it wouldnt end and we felt the same way. Ive played it over and over. And there are no in-game purchases!!!! A huge bonus. This is exactly the kind of game we need more of and we really, truly hope the developers keep designing. We need to encourage more independent, artistic, and creative thinking like this.
We loved this game! It was nice and calming, has a great soundtrack, and is just beautiful to look at. Sometimes we would play it just to calm down and ease some anxiety. The ending was a pleasant surprise! Loved it! Need more games like this on our phone.
We replayed this game instantly without pause. The literal and figurative flow through the puzzles is relaxing and offers a gentle yet tantalizing challenge.
This is unexpectedly fantastic. These puzzle gems always take us by surprise, especially when the sound can calm our nerves even on tough levels. We wish we could beta test for this developer.
This is a beautiful, relaxing and challenging game. Our only complaint is that its too short! We were expecting a few more puzzles per dollar.
This is a wonderful game. It is crafted with such enormous care and attention to detail. We'll make a few specific points of praise. First: the idea is novel and really fun. Little lakes eroding rocks on a mountain. As we go on, rain adds a new game element, and then waterfalls: what brilliant thematic unity! Second, the puzzles are easy at first, but the difficulty ramps up until a few towards the end which are relatively tricky. Buried inside the neat difficulty progression is a really cool pattern: at first when a new element is introduced, you can just mess around until you find the answer. After a few levels you get stuck, and really have to figure out how the element works before you can solve the level. Third: the game looks absolutely beautiful. Fourth: the visuals are 3D, and the game is actually a 3D game for once! Fifth: there is no wasting of our time. When we opened the app for the first time, the first level was there immediately. No elaborate level select screens, no tutorials, just puzzles. Sixth: simple, unlimited undo button (this is a must for any serious puzzle game, but it is so often neglected by developers). As you can probably tell, we could go on and on, but we'll stop. This game deserves to be extremely successful. If you're reading this, please buy it.
This game has an interesting game mechanic! It is unique, making this a puzzle game worthy of your time. It takes a little bit to understand what the rules are (and there are some rules that are a bit difficult to understand like when you are allowed to move a tile down, or when flowers bloom from water below their level). But overall, a challenging and fun game. Suggestions: more levels :) more game mechanics? There were a couple used only in a few levels iCloud syncing of game progress.
