### 4/5 — Fun puzzle game, not too challenging

*2023-11-20*

Nothing much to it so far, you just pull the pieces together. But it’s nice and relaxing so far. A good way to keep the hands busy

### 5/5 — Great puzzle game!

*2022-07-23, version 1.2*

A great 3D building sculptures and vases game!

### 5/5 — A real gem in the store

*2022-02-15*

Amazing game

### 4/5 — snap shot doesn’t work

*2022-01-07*

Snap shot is totally black while pressing the button, my device is 12 pro max. BTW, the original icon lis better I think.

### 4/5 — Schön, aber zu einfach

*2021-12-25, version 1.1*

Ein sehr schön gestaltetes Puzzle, nur leider zu einfach. Daher verliert es recht schnell den Reiz.

### 1/5 — so langweilig

*2021-11-27, version 1.1*

Sieht erstmal hübsch aus, aber jedes Puzzle hat die gleiche Schwierigkeitsstufe, es ist immer das gleiche nur mit anderen Töpfen. Boring…

### 3/5 — Too easy

*2021-11-14, version 1.1*

Just too easy. Not really any puzzle dynamics to it

### 4/5 — Faszinierender Zeitvertreib

*2021-11-12, version 1.0*

Es wäre schön wen im laufe der Zeit weitere 3D-Puzzles dazu gekauft werden könnten. Evtl. auch mit steigenden Schwierigkeitsgrad damit der Reiz am Spiel erhalten bleibt.

### 4/5 — Well-polished game.

*2021-11-12, version 1.0*

Enjoying it so far, but it seems like the falcon statue can't be completed.

### 5/5 — Bravo!

*2021-11-11, version 1.0*

Excellent design.
