### 5/5 — Still alive and kicking 😎

*2017-07-04, version 1.207*

If you like relaxing yet engaging gameplay with a delightfully trippy atmosphere, then this one comes highly recommended.

To Colin the developer - thank you for the update and not letting this quality title die on iOS.

### 1/5 — Burned by the developer!

*2017-04-11, version 1.206*

This game is 32-bit and will no longer run very soon, after a coming system update. Had I known, I would not have purchased it. I would be happy if the developer were to correct me and tell me a 64-bit update is coming soon, here in this review section. I would then revise my rating.  Otherwise, I cannot recommend that others buy this game, even though it looks lovely.

### 5/5 — Insanely unique

*2016-08-06, version 1.206*

It's hard. Like real hard to get all the possible points

It's beautiful. Like insanely detailed single pixel wide detailed

The music is phenomenal

### 5/5 — Great Game. I want more!

*2014-11-03, version 1.206*

Wonderful game. Great visuals, fantastic controls. I've played thru the entire game twice. Would love to see the dev add more levels and/or create a sequel.

### 1/5 — Cant play

*2014-10-05*

Bought the game atleast a month ago and still not able to play. Im on a iPod 4th gen. Maybe others are having the same problems as me so I might have to contact the App Store and get my money back but id rather the game be fixed!

### 3/5 — Plays sounds even when phone is on silent mode

*2014-10-01, version 1.10*

Plays sounds even when phone is in silent mode. This needs to be fixed.

### 5/5 — Tripareeno

*2014-09-29*

This is hands down the trippiest game I've ever played.  Like a psychedelic angry birds.  Great graphics and sound.

### 2/5 — Good game; issues on iPhone 4S

*2014-09-16, version 1.10*

Probably steer clear of this title if you have an iPhone 4S.

My first experience with the game was to have it crash within 5 minutes. Only force quitting the app would let me relaunch it successfully.

When it wasn't crashing, it was very slow. Stuttering FPS made it difficult to play. After dialing back all graphics options and force quitting the app, it was reasonably playable. Still, it would often wedge itself somehow and start stuttering, requiring a force quit. It may have been coincidence, but I seemed to have the most success with my phone fully charged and plugged in to the charge while playing.

Even when it was working and fast enough to be playable, it still crashed frequently.

Finally, after completing the last level of the 3rd world (I think) it crashed and now it crashes on launch every time, even after a force quit.

Obviously the game is fun if I played it 3/4's to completion, but I can't recommend a title that performs so badly.

### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS APP

*2014-09-16, version 1.10*

This is one of the most fun apps I've found!  The controls work well, it's a gorgeous interface. The game play is easy enough to be relaxing and enjoyable, but it keeps your interest. 

I would like to see a tutorial because it takes a few minutes to figure out what the goal is and the game changes a bit over the course of the chapters   Between chapters I'm a bit lost because the transition doesn't seem to be automatic. None of this is a deal breaker because the is so awesome, but there is room for improvement when it comes to instructions. I've also noticed that some levels allow you to control the game from anywhere on the screen which I like, while other levels go to Pause if you hit anywhere other than the control button. Lastly, a back button or main menu button needs to be added. Again I love this game but the interface needs some work because a user can get lost too easily

### 5/5 — Truly excellent game!

*2014-09-12, version 1.10*

I don't know why it doesn't work for several people who wrote negative reviews, it has always worked for me. Gorgeous graphics, difficult but not impossible, enough levels for my money (though of course I would love more) and once you get all the stars and get it into Hard Mode you have twice as many levels and those look awesome as well.  I rarely write reviews of games but I feel very strongly that that this is an original game well worth the money. I hesitantly bought this game thinking it would look neat and not have much actual gameplay and was very pleasantly surprised. Recommended!
