### 3/5 — Okay but keep getting stuck on chapter 2

*2024-02-03, version 1.41*

This game is pretty good- love the graphics and the music- it’s very chilling and visually pleasing. It would also be one of my favourite games if I could get passed level 15 on chapter 2. It’s really annoying me because I have tried and failed over 20 times to get passed this level, and I never can. 🥺 I would like you to fix this please! 
And also, it is really fun to play, and when I’m not raging and stuck on a level, I usually breeze through it. I’ve had this game for 1 and a half years but have only played it a little. I gave up after not being able to pass level 15, and I recently tried again. I haven’t gotten any better at it, and I’m still very mad 😡 PLEASE FIX THISSSSS!!! 
thankyou for reading all this. Also, readers: you can download this game if you are rather smart and have good strategy solving skills and are an adult. Yeah, I think adults would enjoy this a lot better. Anyways this may be the game for you

### 4/5 — One of My Favorite

*2022-03-20*

This game is one my favorite puzzle games since 2013. I rebought it again in HD. However, the app doesn’t scale well on the latest iPhone 12 Pro. Large black borders are visible in the app. The clock is also always visible. Can you fix the app scaling?

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2020-02-04, version 1.41*

This is the best game on the Apple App Store

### 5/5 — Absolutely perfect game.

*2020-01-16, version 1.41*

This game is a real joy to play;  just challenging enough to keep it interesting, but not so much as to cause the “tried 20 times and am now bored” reaction.

Beautiful game to look at, and really fun to play.

Worth the money spent: a pint of overpriced lager has never provided me with the pleasure and satisfaction this game has.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2019-09-13, version 1.41*

I played this game years ago and recently began playing again, it’s just as fun as I remember.

### 5/5 — :)

*2019-01-05*

Абсолютно фантастическая игра с волшебной музыкой и ламповой атмосферой. Впервые поиграл в неё на Nokia n8. Обрадовался увидев её здесь и купил не задумываясь. Всем всячески рекомендую.

### 5/5 — Clever, intuitive, physics-based puzzler

*2018-12-27, version 1.41*

This game looks stunning with its nearly monochrome design. The learning curve is well-aimed, and even the most fiendish puzzles remain intuitive and incredibly satisfying once completed. Highly recommended for its clever design and gameplay.

### 5/5 — Contre Jour

*2018-12-27*

Super Spiel!
Gelungne Animation macht sehr viel Spaß.

### 5/5 — Love this game so much

*2018-10-01, version 1.41*

Please update this for iPhone Xs Max!!!! It would be so nice on the new screens

### 5/5 — Obra de arte

*2018-08-18*

Criadores estão de parabéns por este maravilhoso jogo em obra de arte! Eu amo demais!

### 5/5 — Magique !

*2018-05-31*

Un jeux tout simplement magnifique... Un univers tout en finesse et en poésie sur un fond sonore de circonstance.
Une seule règle : se laisser envoûter et partir en voyage...

### 5/5 — Favorite game

*2018-02-16, version 1.41*

This was my daughter's favorite game until I deleted it by accident 5 years ago I recently downloaded it again and me and Lilly can't stop playing 

Wonderful soundtrack, by the way.

### 5/5 — Ооочень классно

*2018-01-15*

Просто офигенная игра! Вообще не люблю игры на эл устройствах, не могла играть ни в какие сколько бы не начинала, а здесь абсолютно другое. Прям завораживает игра (в хорошем смысле).

### 5/5 — なごむ

*2017-12-18*

なごむ

### 5/5 — Maravilhoso

*2017-12-07*

E' lindo, inteligente, seria ainda melhor se houvesse dicas para os níveis mais complicados.

### 5/5 — Sollte man einfach haben!

*2017-11-22*

Dieses Spiel hat einfach alles was ein Top Game ausmacht. Durch die tolle musik, die perfekt mit dem Spiel harmoniert ist man sofort von der etwas melankolischen Atmosphäre gefesselt und man vergisst sofort alles um einen herum. Man taucht augenblicklich in diese mysteriöses Ambiente ein und man entspannt herrlich. Getragen werden diese grafisch sehr gelungenen Welten durch diese wirklich hervoragend komponierten Piano Songs die niemals langweilig oder gar störend werden. Wie ich finde ist dies eines der gelungensten Spiele fürs iPad überhaupt. 

Absolut Top!

### 5/5 — Precious gift

*2017-07-10, version 1.41*

For children and adults alike, are captured by a kinder, gentler way to pass time than with explosions, murder and looting. Much gratitude goes out to the creators.

### 5/5 — Real game

*2017-06-30, version 1.41*

Worth it to spend $3

### 4/5 — Is this a 64bit title?

*2017-05-30, version 1.41*

Want to make sure it gets updated for the newest 64bit only versions of iOS

### 1/5 — Scum

*2021-09-07*

I bought it few years ago fullprice, all levels was available. 
Now I can only have em as additional purchase.

### 1/5 — Bet ya don't show this one!

*2016-09-29, version 1.41*

This game WAS fun......till level 10!!! Then it all comes to an end!!!! Whenever they WARN you about skipping the level, you know it's over!
People, don't believe all the positive reviews like I did, don't waste your money on this one.

### 1/5 — Audio issue

*2015-03-14, version 1.31*

The audio is no working.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2014-08-28, version 1.31*

I paid for this. Why the ads?

### 1/5 — PAID VERSION HAS ANNOYING ADS

*2014-02-15, version 1.31*

I bought this game when it first came out. It was great. Then I Updated it only to see that it is now filled with very annoying ads that disrupt gameplay. Ads in a paid app? Disgusting.

### 1/5 — outrageous embedded advertising in paid-for game .. Avoid

*2013-12-24, version 1.31*

It was once a beautiful game which I paid for and my child loved? It stopped working on iOS7 and now returns with extremely intrusive ads which annoy in the extreme and ruin the game.

### 1/5 — Awesome game ruined by adds

*2013-12-09, version 1.31*

For a paid game, I do not expect adds. I particularly don't expect giant floaty adds over half the game screen. Uninstalling ASAP!

### 1/5 — Ads in paid for game ?

*2013-11-28, version 1.31*

Duck you chillingo.

I will avoid your games from now on.

### 1/5 — Now has too many adverts - NOW DELETED

*2013-11-27, version 1.31*

What were they thinking with all the intrusive advertising in this version? Custom now taken elsewhere!

### 1/5 — Ruined in iOS 7 by adverts

*2013-11-26, version 1.31*

A wonderful game, sorely missed on iOS 7, returns with horribly obtrusive adverts which 'float' over your screen in bubbles, until you 'pop' to dismiss them. Pop the wrong bit, and you're diverted to the App Store and more Chillingo games are shoved in your face. 

Like others, I paid for this game as a premium product, and am not impressed. Instantly deleted.

### 5/5 — Very cerebral- calming experience

*2024-11-30, version 1.41*

I love this game and first discovered it years ago when it was new.  It is visually beautiful with wonderful music and amusing gameplay. There are multiple chances to solve each puzzle. I appreciate unlimited opportunities.

### 5/5 — Inspirational classic

*2024-10-05, version 1.41*

It may be old and not well supported, but this game will make your mind work in a beautiful way.

### 5/5 — Ностальгия 😢

*2024-02-15*

Очень душевная и занимательная игра. Помню играл в нее еще на нокии, лет 12 назад в школе. Про музыку вообще молчу. Отдал бы за нее 1000₽ не жалея.

### 5/5 — Nostalgia and resilience

*2021-12-25, version 1.41*

This game, like many, was a part of my childhood and I am glad to see it still running. Thank you for updating it consistently

Игра огонь, даже столько лет после релиза. Редизайна под новые устройства не ждать? Это прям печально.

### 5/5 — Peaceful distraction

*2020-04-04, version 1.41*

Love this. Had it for years. It’s so calming although I do feel for the little chaps when I can’t save them. Get it, you won’t be sorry.
