  • Impossible to get past one level on my iPhone :(

    I would definitely give this game a 4 or even a 5 star but some of the things are impossible to do due to my phone blocking some things like changing my phones date to automatic from manual so it is impossible to pass that level so I feel like I wasted the money on this game and I am incapable of doing anything to change this because of the block. Other than only being able to get past the first ten levels or so it’s a great game and if your phone doesn’t block this (CHECK BEFORE BUYING!!!) then you should definitely get this game if there is still a way to get past the level that would be great or I may just have to email apple and ask for a refund! Good luck with passing all these tricky levels though :)

  • A great “Meta” puzzler

    Haven’t even finished the game yet but this type of game fits into one of my favorite but scarce genre of puzzle games. I love puzzlers that require thinking in terms beyond just what you see on the screen or the app itself. Much more creative than your standard Room Escapes or puzzle boxes. You can probably finish this game in a couple hours but the experience is worth it for the small price. Well done!

  • Simple Privacy Solutions

    **Update - Enter ‘ap1992’ as your name to get past the camera/gps access request. Beware this does change the intended experience. They’ve updated the game description to include mention that camera and gps are required but the website still has no privacy policy page.

    This kid is gonna be rich, he developed a heck of a game, I’d have given it 4-5 stars if not for the privacy policy missing entirely.

    _____________________________

    The privacy policy is bunk, their website doesn’t list one. I should have read the reviews first and now I’m out $2. If you don’t want to give access to your camera and location you aren’t allowed to play. (Btw I don’t have twitter and your website won’t let me contact you without enabling cookies and JavaScript)

    After reading the responses to others who complained about this it’s all for gameplay purposes but this should have easily been resolved.

    1. You do not need gps to track movement, something people running in place noticed when they couldn’t progress. I have location services disabled entirely and my phone can still record my steps... I’m holding a pedometer!

    2. Camera is tricky because it’s for more than simple photos but they have a way to bypass it already so why not let the player opt out at the start with a warning?

    The camera is for AR so no way to experience the AR without granting camera access. And the location services registers the speed of your device which uses the GPS to do that calculation. You can email ggogis@gogisdesign.com and they will take care of you. Sorry for the inconvenience. Adding privacy policy to game page on website!
  • iPad troubles

    I’m having trouble with lvl 13. I can’t seem to press blue. The hint and level buttons are right on top of it. Please fix

    Developer Response

    Working on that bug! Will fix that soon. Until then, you should be able to tap right above the circle menu button to tap the blue....sorry for the inconvenience!
  • Clever but ultimately invasive

    There are some seriously interesting uses of the iPhone’s technology at work here that I haven’t seen done elsewhere. However, there’s a reason for that: such usage is incredibly invasive. For example, the game will suddenly start flashing your phone’s camera light or require you to change the date/time settings on your iPhone or maximize the volume, etc. I was luckily playing at home but if something like the camera light flashing happened in public it would have been a problem, and having to change the settings of my phone is a bit uncomfortable.

    Ultimately, I decided to call it quits when the game asked me to “run.” I live in an apartment in a city, and while I tried running back and forth a bit (as well as trying to trick the phone by shaking it, etc), nothing worked. There’s really nowhere for me to go “run” and frankly I have no interest in trying to make it happen. I think it’s an unfair ask of the player, a situation where the game’s cleverness gets the better of it.

    So, kudos for the concept, there’s some serious outside-the-box thinking here. I don’t think this really works in execution, though.

    Thank you for your feedback. As you state, the nature of the game does bring some interesting ways that your phone must be used. For the run level, you could pass it as a passenger in a car or train as you only need to hit 3.5 meter/sec. If you’d like I can give you a code to pass all levels and allow you to proceed without running. Contact me on Twitter or through my website contact form.
  • Brilliant game!

    Absolutely amazing game!

    Very original and different to anything else I’ve played before! Loved how it utilised the iPhone features and made you really think- some of the puzzles took me ages!
    A bit short, but can’t wait to see what else SAIL brings to the story and gameplay!

    A bit hard to complete some of the puzzles, like Sunset if your not at home, or Run if you’re in a public place, but still liked the physical aspect of gameplay. The replay value is kind of lost once you know how the complete the puzzle, but it doesn’t stop me from playing it again! It would be great to have some more types of interesting puzzles, and I hope AR is used more.

    Well done- you made a great game that’s worthy of the money, and I am anxious for more brain teaser puzzles! Keep up the good work!

    Thank you for your review I’m glad you liked it. The next two chapters will bring all new puzzles including more AR!
  • Meh

    Wanted to let people know that this game isn’t really that great. It really seems like there may be a lot of fake reviews. The puzzles are either frustratingly hard or to easy. The story is cool and the way it feels, but I found myself really thinking it was going to get better so I kept going, but it just kinda got worse at the end. I gave up when there was another lame color click match puzzle.

  • I NEED HELP!!!

    I REALLY love this game but I’m stuck on the run level! ( I think it’s level 21) I’ve tried everything I can think of. I’ve ran down the block, I’ve ran down my backyard. I’ve ran with my location on and with it off. I’ve even tried it when I drive but the meter still won’t go up!! I have an iPhone 6s (yes pretty old by now) so maybe that is part of the problem? Developers please respond, because I really want to move on!! I’ve had my eye on this game ever since it was on pre-order and I’m so sad I can’t move on. Am I doing something wrong??

    The 6s does work with location services on. If you close the game and reopen and go to that level the progress bar below the word should show some blue as you move. If you contact me on Twitter or email through my site I can assist further.
  • Best puzzle game ever

    This game really made me think long and hard, and everything about it is just AMAZING. Mad respect for the Dev who made this, and every part of this game is just great. Your use of the AR camera is just crazy interesting, and I love how it took me so long to even think of that. I absolutely cannot wait for season 2.

  • Amazing if a bit annoying

    Wonderful game, interesting puzzles/concepts , but honestly puzzles like Lies 22 (run) are kinda annoying because they're much harder to do in several settings, may it be in public or too late to go on a jog. Tried to fix it by taping my phone to my ceiling fan, didn't work :/
