### 3/5 — Nice try

*2025-12-27*

A very advanced version compared to the first game, but the 3D trick just won’t do
A nice idea tho

### 2/5 — Great idea, awful controls

*2016-05-24*

you have to place points in 3D space intersecting straight lines. You will spend hours placing your points from one perspective, then awkwardly rotating the entire scene to try and place it yet again in the z dimension. The controls are awful and frustrating, completely eclipsing the puzzle aspect. In essence, the puzzle is in working the controls. Boo.

### 4/5 — Excellent, challenging

*2016-01-02*

Really enjoying the 3D aspect of this game, adds a lot more complexity (and time investment) in each level. If you play many iPad games it's not too hard to figure out the two fingers/one finger/pinch controls, even without instructions. Just don't be stupid and not save your game at the beginning like I did. :-P

### 2/5 — Great fun until 3D mode keep kicks in

*2016-01-01*

About 30 minutes into this game, it switches to 3D mode, which requires you to manipulate the mechanics in a z-plane. Problem is, the in game instructions suggests you to pause the game and consult the further instructions. Sadly, after pausing, no further instructions are given. So after frustratingly trying to figure out the 3D mode, I eventually gave up. It's a shame because up until that point I really enjoyed the game. Now it's unplayable...

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2015-12-20*

I have been playing this on my iPhone and iPad for years. It's very intriguing and fun. I wish there was an editor for the iPhone.

### 5/5 — It's like where's my water on steroids

*2015-11-16*

This is probably the hardest puzzle game I've ever played and it's amazing

### 5/5 — Kudos

*2015-10-21*

WOW!!! Thank you to the people who made this game (1 and 2). You are very very gifted at what you do. I check the app store every day to find a app as good as enigmo 1. I have spent hundreds of dollars on apps that did not    come close to your game! 2, so far seems better that one! I thought that was impossible. THANKS!

For the people who think this game is way to hard. You are not giving this game a chance, it's not meant to be beat in a few min. I plan on going through all 50 levels, many many times!

If I could I would give this app 10 stars!!!
BE AWARE !!! The Enigmo explore game is NOT made by the same people they are trying to capitalize on the name and awesomeness of Enigmo1 and 2, don't be fooled it's a piece ofgarbage, unplayable!!!!

### 4/5 — 前作以上に

*2015-09-18*

面白いです。でもやはり操作性が。。

### 5/5 — Great classic updated

*2015-08-03*

The iPad needs more games like this.

### 5/5 — Fun game so far

*2015-02-27*

I just started playing so it is a bit early but I love the graphics and the sounds, and not to mention a game that makes you put your brain to work. I love it and hope it stays that way.

### 5/5 — Énigmo 2

*2014-09-04*

Les avis n'ont pas mentis un réel plaisir de faire pivoter ce casse tête en 3D. A vous de le tester vous n'aurez pas à le regretter. 👏 👏

### 2/5 — 意味がわからない

*2014-05-30*

英語だしチュートリアルもないしなにをしていいか全くわからん、金返せ

### 5/5 — A Puzzler

*2014-04-17, version 3.2.1*

Challenging, intriguing, unique, and enjoyable.  Great physics.

### 5/5 — Tres bon casse tete

*2014-04-14*

Idéal pour passer le temps...

### 1/5 — Frustrating game

*2023-06-18*

Freezes and you can’t go to the next level unless you finish the present level you’re trying to vigile out. Example, in Enigmo 2, level 3, you can’t figure which is the container into where you should deposit the laser energy. You can’t get any info either about this.
I want my money back.

### 1/5 — 3D Mode is horrible

*2021-06-17*

Game is fun until you get to 3D mode. Then the game goes downhill the controls are terrible. It tells you to pause and click instructions (hint, they don’t exist.) Shame could have been a fun game otherwise.

### 1/5 — no way to mute sound effects

*2016-06-08, version 3.3.1*

a game with annoying sound effects and no way to mute them in game would be okay if, say, mobile game players didn't listen to podcasts while they played games or have audio shows from youtube. sadly it is 2016 and not 2009. one star because even if the game is great, it forces its audio fx on you for no reason. two dollars isn't worth it to me for forced audio. terrible design.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2015-03-03, version 3.3.1*

The 3d in the game is good however if you have several pots to put things into when you change one view is mucks around with the placement of everything else. Furthermore when you change the setting back or restart the level the placement of objects is completely out and you have to spend more time altering the placement options so you can play more than you get to play the game.

### 1/5 — 3D問題の操作性最悪

*2014-12-31*

3D問題の操作性が全然ダメで遊べません。
がっかり、お金返して下さい！

### 1/5 — 3D garbage

*2014-10-14, version 3.3.1*

The 3D gave me a head ache don't buy it's so dumb read the reviews...

### 1/5 — liked- but problems drove me away

*2014-02-23, version 3.2.1*

Bottom line is this: when you find solution but can't complete the puzzle because of CONTROL issues pertaining to OBJECT PLACEMENT -
FUN's Over.
  And that's a real shame, cause the game is frigging awesome.It pains me to say that because you'll never find an app w/ more potential to be great than this game.

### 1/5 — Enigmo 2

*2013-08-08*

Le doigt gêne le placement précis des objets, aussi lors du déplacement. Maj pour augmenter l'attraction des outils svp!

### 1/5 — Liked this before the advert

*2012-10-03, version 3.1.1*

Still got the Full screen advert when launched. I hate it.
And it mutes my music, even though game music is off!

PS the game is really great... 

### 1/5 — Crash Crash Crash!

*2012-09-26, version 3.1*

This game crashes after the first level! Repeatedly, no matter what you do. How can you leave this game in the store with such a fatal crashing bug? D you even read your reviews or use your app? What are your developers on vacation? Get this fixed now before I submit a complaint to Apple.

### 5/5 — Love this Game

*2022-08-20*

I first played this game back when it was a computer game.  I had a Dell PDA in 03-04 and that’s what I first played it on.  Then I got it when I got an iPhone.  
When is Enigmo 3 coming????  Would love to see that or a new set of levels that I could get in Enigmo 2.

### 5/5 — 面白い!

*2017-08-28*

子供と競ってます。ハマってます。

### 5/5 — Great puzzle game

*2017-02-09*

This game is a lot of fun. It might take a bit of effort and practice to get some of the pieces lined up properly, but I think that this game was very well done.

### 5/5 — Ageless

*2017-01-10*

I remember playing this back when the iPhone 3GS was still the latest iPhone. I loved it. But I never beat it and after upgrades I wanted it back. So years later I have now bought it's HD version for my ipad with retina display. For how old this game is, it blows me away. It has gorgeous graphics and it's physics engine is fantastic. It was made years ago and to this day it still looks like it's new because of how well done the game is. I'm so glad I have this on my ipad now. I sorely missed playing it. It's a great relaxing game and is my favorite game on the App Store. I think this game is ageless and will always be an amazing and great game to play. My only complaint is that the laser sound effects take away from the beautiful relaxing soundtrack music. This is also the ONLY game from the App Store that I have ever played that doesn't have glitches. Simply put, AMAZING!

Update: The controls work fine and are easy to use. I don't see how many people have problems with the 3D interface. It's really not that complicated. It takes some getting used to but that's it. People just have no patience it seems. I have beaten all the levels and played through the entire game many times at this point and I still absolutely love it. My favorite phone game ever and probably the only phone game I will ever feel nostalgic about.

### 5/5 — Old-Timer Review

*2017-01-01*

I've played Enigmo 2 for years on the computer. I recently found it was available for IOS. I purchased the game for $2 and tried it out. It does the original computer version justice! I look forward to getting as much out of this version as the computer version. Excellent game!

### 5/5 — Most underrated game ever-my Favorite game!

*2016-09-13*

...PLEASE release more levels!!! I finished this glorious game in days and am dying to play new levels!

Because of this, I have to concur with the earlier comment of experiencing much more immersive gameplay with the original game. (Even though I have the same level-pack complaint with the original ("kids-levels?!?!!!,") the other custom levels gave me many more hours of enjoyment than the small number of levels in this game.)

That said, this is bar-none the best game I have played and most likely will ever play on the iPhone. It is ingenious, challenging, rewarding, immersive, beautiful (right down to the planets and magestic score)...I cannot give it enough superlatives

Be wary though - this game is for problem-solving lovers. I even think it can be considered a form of an IQ test. I am a software engineer. It has not comeup yet, but I would certainly ask a prospective employee if they played this game and beat it.
 
Yes the 3D controls have a learning curve, but once mastered they ingeniously solve the logistical placement issues as best as can be imagined... thus once learned, 95% of the time is then spent on solving the puzzles themselves.

Final Note-they picked the *worst* level as the "first true 3D level." I went about it all wrong and was about to throw the iPhone against the wall twisting sliders into barrels! ....Use the accelerator panels at the far back (which have never been introduced prior to this level!) and do NOT cross paths on the two parallel droplet paths! After finding this out, I never had any similar problems all the way to end.

### 5/5 — Longtime Enigma Owner

*2016-08-07*

I have owned both versions of Enigma. Enigma has very interesting and challenging levels; and a much improved sense of spatiality.  Both versions of the game will have you stretching your horizons and spatial problem solving skills. If you have version 1, version 2 won't disappoint.

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2016-05-17*

Creative and challenging. Enigma 1 was the first game I ever had and so glad they came out with #2. And upped their game!

### 5/5 — Une petite merveille 👌

*2016-02-09*

J'avais adoré le premier, le 2 est encore mieux !
Ce jeu me rappelle déflektor sur amiga, c'est vraiment un très très bon jeu qui vaux amplement ses 2€ 😜

### 5/5 — Fantastic Puzzles

*2015-12-30*

One of the best games I have played
