## What is Blackbox for Vision?

What if a game was nothing more than a peaceful place where curiosity was rewarded?

Blackbox, the evolution of the Apple Design Award winning puzzle game for iOS, leaps beyond your fingertips, through the confines of glass, and into your home and being. Poke bubbles, ponder puzzles, and let the rest gently unfold around you. Become enveloped in reactive visuals, perplexing sounds, and perhaps find something profound. 

Blackbox is an open-ended experience under active development. We’re hard at work on new curiosities and will continue to expand the game throughout the year. Supporting our small team’s work today gives you early-access to everything we’ve currently built and will eventually include in the base game. 

We’re just getting started and endlessly thankful for your support.
We can’t wait to show you what we’ve built and what we have in store,
— Shapes & Stories

### 2/5 — No notable updates besides breaking the app

*2026-04-25, version 1.5.3*

Been waiting for new puzzles for what feels like years after paying a very high amount for an app that doesn’t do too much. The only update I have noticed is one that broke moving bubbles around.

### 5/5 — The best experience of MR

*2026-02-11, version 1.5.1*

This is worth the cost! I love it so much! The details are so good!!!! Recommend for everyone to try!!!

### 4/5 — Great game, but stuck on Sky puzzle

*2025-12-09*

I really enjoyed the immersive gameplay, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to solve the sky puzzle. I have tried a lot of different things but the answer still allude me. Unfortunately, the puzzle crashes after a minute or two.

### 2/5 — Prerelease

*2025-12-06, version 1.5*

BlackBox

### 5/5 — Where are the updates :(

*2025-10-19, version 1.5*

I absolutely love Blackbox, but I have been looking at the mysterious orb in the rip zone for what feels like years at this point.

### 5/5 — The best game ever but……

*2025-09-28*

This game is very good. I mean a lot better than most of the games for Apple Vision Pro! I didn’t have this much of fun or last time when I opened a game. But the biggest cross here is the price! If you’d make it free, the game will feel and look better for those who doesn’t have moneyI appreciate your game and I will be happy if you will answer me! I have this game on my phone and I kept saying only that it’s one of the best games I ever seen! Thank you for this indulgent experience.❤️

### 4/5 — Crash during the game

*2025-07-26, version 1.4*

So, I right this review because I try to complete the yellow puzzle but it doesn’t work. It’s very frustrating.
I asked to the AI and he said that there was a problem with the game. 
Now I don’t know what to do because I can not continue the game ( I’m stuck)
I hope that the developer will answer me soon because I don’t know what to do.
Also, sometimes when I have to look up ( in the yellow puzzle) the Vision Pro reset and I return to the menu.
Please 🙏 help !!!!!!

### 2/5 — App经常会崩溃

*2025-06-10, version 1.4*
