Vignettes Reviews
The voodoo doll wont turn back into the mortar and pestle at all ever. Our phone vibrates as if it is going to change back but it doesnt change.
Add more levels and itll be 6 stars.
Just wish there was more! Getting it! We’ve played games for much longer spans of time that we can barely even remember. But we know that we will remember vignettes for a long time to come because of how unique and well done it is. We hope the developer makes more games, but if they don’t we’re happy to have this gem on our phone.
This was/is an amazing game. Seems like u were adding a lot of new content but that stopped a year ago. Are u working on a new game? (Yes please)
Otherworldly. Among the most inventive and unique experiences on iOS!
This game is one of a kind. Its a short for a puzzle game, but really well polished and fun to explore. The graphics look amazing and the music is really mellow and relaxing. Its not especially challenging, but thats perfectly ok – its more about the experience and interacting with every item than the puzzle itself. It took us about 3 hours to fully complete the game, and we think it was worth every dollar spent. Real games are getting to be pretty hard to find these days on the App Store, with the pay-to-win and freemium games dominating the mobile industry. We were lucky enough to find this gem and we recommend it to anyone who wants to try something new. Big thanks to the devs, we had a lot of fun exploring your game! The effort you put into the game really shows :)
The snake with the trumpet dosent work for some reason. Its not registering the correct code. This game was last updated 2 years ago pls update and fix this bug. Other than that this is a great game 5/5 stars.
This game was so satisfying to play and complete! By the end we were very involved in the story. The little animations really make the game so fun. Thank you for making this!
We got this game when it came out a few years ago, but at the time we wasnt really into these types of games so we didnt play it and forgot about it. We just downloaded it again and we are playing it now. They did add some additional content from the original game we believe, we havent finished it yet, theres still one or two areas we havent unlocked yet. Its more a puzzle toy than a game per se, but its very fun and we love the optical element of it. We love these types of games now. We would recommend GNOG and Winding Worlds (on Apple Arcade)
We love the game with all the stuff to do make a vignette 2 that be cool please make another one.
We agree w some others here, its become more difficult and a lot less fun. We’ve reloaded the game a few times to try the update and cant get past first two sections. We have spent too much time gently maneuvering one item that we were able to work before, but now get nothing. Perhaps they should offer an easier version for those who would otherwise get stuck and give up.
A great game we’ve replayed and redownloaded multiple times. We have no idea if the developers are still active with the last update almost being half a decade ago but we do hope so! Unfortunately for new players the websites for when you complete everything are broken. We forget what was on it now. Beyond that, just finding new forms each object can take, it has unique music and hidden aspects to every item! It leaves you guessing if theres more to it with every discovery. The extras that happen after you invest your time into the game are worth it! We will still replay it even without the websites.
Dont understand any of it. Just spent our time randomly tapping, waiting for something to happen. The figures would randomly spin around, sometimes leading to other, blocked figures. No instructions, no guides. Sometimes a hand would appear, indicating a tap or a swipe. Ok, we did that, now what? Nothin. Dull.
It appears to be impossible to switch from the voodoo doll back to the mortar and pestle.
Amazing game. One of the coolest puzzle games we’ve ever played.
The nonsensical objects combine perfectly with the wacky music to create a surreal experience as the ordinary becomes weird. Reminds us of ISLANDS: Non-Places, which is a strong recommendation.
Such a cool game, and there are lots of secrets to be found. Its the best kind of digital toy.
If you like spatial/physical type puzzle games with hidden secrets and unexpected elements, this game is the perfect choice. We loved the rooms, the simple graphics, and the fun game interactions. The spooky room was our favorite.
We dont write reviews for apps like ever… But we’ve been looking for a game on the iPhone like this forever, its calming and so clever. We love Easter eggs and this game has a few of them (; love the mystery and the interaction with the object. Pleaseeee update with more phases.
Very clever game so far. We apologize to the developers for an earlier, unfair negative review.
This is the best dream we ever had.
Absolutely adore this game and its creative thinking, but there is one glitch for us where we put the correct sequence in for the trumpet but it does not unlock the seventh secret (i looked at a walkthrough)
You should make more levels and stuff to turn into because this game is really fun and we’re sad that it’s so short.
We were skeptical at first but it is wonderful. Its fun, its makes you wonder whats next.
This game is a bit pricey for only about 2-3 hours of gameplay, but its totally worth it. Its so much fun messing with the objects and seeing where each will lead, especially since there are no instructions or explanations to guide you. Its a great game to beat and then watch your friends try out, since now you know how to beat it and they dont. We also love all the little easter eggs and two secret links that you can get by putting all the puzzle pieces together. Our only concern is that we want this game to be longer. We could go for hours and hours turning objects and doing cool little things, and this sort of feels like a teaser or demo of a full game. While we really do enjoy this game and give it 5 stars, we still beat it wanting more, maybe more secrets, more objects, or, once you get all the keys, an entirely new world of objects is opened. Granted, that would be doubling the game size, but it would make the game SO much better because we never get tired of the intriguing concept.
The visuals and colors were stunning and the gameplay was challenging but still fun. It is a little short so we hope more gets released soon.
We found this game years ago and ever since we have come back to it to find new things to discover. We love this game, it has the most unique art style and game features with a fitting soundtrack. If you want a delightful puzzle game please get this!!
Did some YouTube searches of gameplay prior but we were sold even then, the game is mind boggling, Tripps, but easy enough so that you dont get frustrated, and calming. The puzzles and secrets leave you wishing and wanting more after you figure out a new combination, since its all based on perspective. Short but fun. Personally worth the $3. Especially with the update.
Really hoping for new maps in the future because this was such a cute and quirky game. We loved it! Some parts were challenging, but not unsolvable. Very different game, fantastic.
At first, we were skeptical on whether this was a game worthy of us purchasing. We looked at a few reviews and decided to buy it, it was only 0.99 when we bought. We are truly amazed at how beautifully put together this is. We would definitely recommend this to short puzzle people.
This is a great game. It reminds of some of the puzzles we solved when playing the Myst/Riven games of the 90s. Well worth the cost. It may take some time at first to understand what you are trying to do/accomplish in the game. Be patient and youll be rewarded. The game can be a bit frustrating at times but its very ascetically pleasing and gratifying when you discover a new object or unlock a secret within the game. Its almost as if the whole game is finding Easter egg after Easter egg.
This game is amazing and we’ve finished lost of the frames, except the last one which Im not quite sure how to get started with. Its the skull one or spooky update and Im not sure how to start using it and we’ve looked online how to.
We are having a lot of fun with the new update but we cant get to find the skull with the gem eyes in the witches hut and we dont know what to do can someone tell us what to do.
This game is very fun and entertaining. It’s so simplistic but yet brings so much complexity. If you like figuring puzzles out on your own, this is a great game for you!!
Every time we play this game Im always amazed by how many possibilities there are and the intricacy of this game it amazes us how many ways you can change something into something else. To us there is no better time consumer then this game. We wish we could describe this game but it is so hard to explain all the details. We wish we could rate this game 7 out of 5.
In the game, there are few (if any, we’ve not completed) words in this game. As such Im not sure we can say anything that will convince you how good it is. At least imho. There is no way a still image, video or description can accurately express the beauty that is this game. You just have to try it. A silent, stylistic perspective-driven mystery that hints at a whole much bigger than the sum of its parts. We downloaded but kept putting off playing. Now it might be our favorite experience from the App Store (calling it merely a game is selling it short) Well, since the game thrives without spoken or written language, we should follow suit and just shut up and let you play. Bravo, devs!
Design and gameplay is so amazing. Concept is great. Tons of content. We just wish there was a bit more text about what is going on – cant tell how to progress and why there are different collections. We feel like we start the game over for each time we open it. We can tell the figuring out the menus and stuff is sort of part of the game experience but its not as intuitive as it could be – iconography and progression is still confusing.
We love the game, and especially the idea of being able to create stuff from completely unrelated items (i.e., a tv from a pan), but it is a little bit short. Of course, we’re not complaining too much, because at only $0.99 it is a steal!
The game is great. We really wish we knew more about the creation of it. Theres nothing else like it. And the music is super cewl. Its been stuck in our head recently for some reason even though we played this around 7-8 months ago.
Nice game, super fun, but kinda short and not worth paying for.
After playing this game, we feel torn because we didn’t enjoy it, but we can tell the developers worked really hard on it. The visuals and music are fun–I really liked the color palettes and the artwork itself. However, I’d get frustrated a lot trying to find new objects because as we explored, objects kept turning into ones that I’d already discovered. So we were constantly undoing and redoing with no forward progress. If you like easy going games that involve visual rewards and exploration, you might like this. We prefer more strategy and less finicky swipe mechanics.
We agree with folks who want a better guide to the puzzles. Or else theres still a glitch or two. When you get to the scroll you cant make all the potential transformations that appear to be available and theres no where else to go that we can see. Tried every angle but no way forward. Ditto for the lockets and the cards no way to move the game along. A fun game that turns very boring/frustrating, we are ready to banish it from our iphone.
You think because it looks snazzy you can get away with this much mystery meat navigation? Get over yourselves and explain the game to new players or suffer the dreaded one star.
This game is so boring ! Do not buy this game and waste money. It does nothing. It does not have instructions. It is so hard. We say get rid of this game right now!
This games was a Total Disappointment!!! We cant believe we even spent money on it now. No free test mode, no instruction menu on what to do, and no rewards for completing levels are just a few of the problems with this game. We bought it because of a high rating. Im not sure why anyone would give it positive reviews, it only positively sucked. Id ask for our money back if we could so Ill settle for this 1star rating. We would have put 0 stars but it wasnt an option.
This game is great. We bought it last night and played till we beat it. It is a little short but it’s so much fun. Kinda hard to explain what type of game it is, it was just really unique. You twist and turn the object to make the colors form into different objects. There’s also little secrets to find. It was relaxing and clever and just an all around cool game. Hoping they add to it. Give it a shot. Edit: Unfortunately after the new update the game has become unplayable. The chest in the very beginning wont even open to allow access to the game.
Its easy to lose time swiping and turning the shapes. We love that they keep adding levels, making it totally worth the cost.
Theres already problem we’ve run into. After playing in the witches hut and accidentally clicking into the witchs frame and looking at the key then out to the chest, it assumes we’ve already gotten the new key and does the whole sequence of making a new one; then the chest doesnt even open, just makes the unlocking sound it did but without the key even on screen.
There is a bug where after we played it we couldn’t get back in the witch lair?? We tried several times restarting the game but it didn’t work :( we do hope you fix it as this one of our most favorite games. Good luck! We were using an IPad Air 2 if you were wondering.
