Tell more in the description about gameplay and more people should buy. This game features a difficulty that ramps up very steadily. There is a bleak procedural beauty to it all that manifests in more crowded rooms and exotic objects. When you take a step back and look at a tremendously convoluted screen, and think how deep in you are, it gives momentary chills. Definitely my favorite abstract game, and so happy this is still compatible 5 years later. ### 5/5 — Clever movement puzzles *2018-06-11, version 0.4* If you’re familiar with the movement mechanics of NetHack or another turn-based roguelike, this takes those movement mechanics and pairs them with clever movement-constraining enemies who do things like push you or rotate before they make a move. Highly recommended. ### 4/5 — Fine. *2016-02-04, version 0.4* Game is good but it is _not_ a roguelike. This is a puzzle game, make sure you know that before buying it. No gear, no leveling up, no permadeath. Puzzles. ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2016-01-19, version 0.4* Lots of fun! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2015-10-23, version 0.4* Perfect, pick-up-anytime roguelike. Challenging. Minimalist, restrained. More levels (or more games from developer) please. ### 4/5 — Very interesting game *2015-09-29, version 0.4* It took me a little while to totally figure out what was going on, but once I did I had so much fun ### 5/5 — Chess-like roguelike *2015-07-31, version 0.3* Awesome strategy game. Abstract minimalist roguelike that feels a bit like chess. It has built in levels that teach you the rules as well as a procedurally generated gameplay type. I love the aesthetic and design. ### 5/5 — Last update shrunk iPad air screen *2015-07-31, version 0.3* I open the app and only the top left quadrant of the screen is filled. Please fix. I'm looking forward to the new levels. IPad Air ### 1/5 — Finally just fed up.... *2015-04-29, version 0.2.6* The one-screen puzzles are very entertaining, but there's some sort of extravaganza at the end where you ramble on from room to room with no purpose whatsoever. The computer throws incredible force at you so you die endlessly, but apparently you're in a continuum that goes nowhere anyway so dying is pretty much as good as living. Stupid. A waste of time. Aside from that, great game. ### 3/5 — Fun but needs some interface work *2015-04-21, version 0.2.6* The game itself is very fun. My biggest complaint is that I have no idea what the menu buttons do as they aren't labeled at all nor are the symbols intuitive. This was very frustrating to deal with. Secondly, I see no apparent marking of levels you have beat or not so that if you lose your place you are forced to have to navigate even more confusing menus. Gah! If you're trying to be artsy, just stop and make a better interface ## Frequently asked questions about Ending ### What kind of game is Ending? Ending is a single-player, turn-based puzzle game.
