Fun and engaging!
For some other similar games, I have given up and looked up how to solve the puzzles, but these make sense. Some are more challenging than others, but they are solvable. Beyond that, the theme is really sweet, and I enjoy the artwork. This is my favorite iPad game.
So fun and relaxing Puzzle I love puzzle games
Just the puzzle games, do you know
Like Monument Valley, but more beautiful and interactive
This game is one of the top 5 games I've played on the iPad, right up there with Edith Finch, Wild Rift, and Wolf Among Us.
Just wow
I wanted a cozy game I could play in between doom scrolling, I’m amazed at how beautiful this game is. I’m blown away!
Unique Experience
I’m not a huge gamer but this was a pleasant surprise. The graphics and story line is really captivating. I really enjoyed playing it. The start of the game was kinda confusing and I had to watch walk through videos to figure it out but once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed the puzzles. I think the only thing it was missing was a basic tutorial but overall I want to play more. Really well done, just WOW!
This is not a game
This app is not a game. It is barely an interactive story. This is someone’s passion project. It is not worth $5. Absolute drizzle!
Not happy requesting a refund
This game doesn’t work for me.
