Leave a Review The Gardens Between
Great iOS game
I look forward to spending time with the gardens between which is the highest compliment I can think of for a game, especially considering how crowded the market is. The combination of exploration and gentle puzzles works really well. This is especially true with the touch controls on iOS and turning the diorama-like levels around has a really intriguing feel to it. Graphics and music/sound are very good. The only minor downside is that it seems to heat up my iPad quite fast and the frame rate stutters occasionally but this is a worthwhile trade off for being able to play such a technically demanding (in terms of visuals) game on iPad.Show lessQuintusDienst
Most creative and clever game
I don’t download games a lot and when I do they are puzzle games like Room, House of DaVinci, Machinarium, Botanicula, Samarost. Many years ago I played Myst series and even very old school: The Manhole. I love those games and play them over again because there are just a few well-made puzzle games. Others are disappointing.
The Gardens in Between is absolutely unique and possibly the most creative puzzle game I’ve played in my 57 years. Gameplay involves what I considered memory islands and involve gathering light into a lantern, time shifting, jumping boxes, fog bridges, and using electricity and old technology (like printing) in creative ways. There is a wholesome bond between two friends that you see in memories. I had a tear or two at the end.
One thing about gameplay that I found was that I didn’t get immersed for hours when playing. I would complete an island and then I’d typically stop and play another day. I think this was because the goal each time was sort of similar (get a lighted lantern to the top). But it was quite an interesting diversion and that is basically the biggest thing you want from a game app. Well done! I look forward to what you create later on.Show lessSueinmon
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!Show lessErica Kristie
