### 4/5 — Game is excellent but….

*2026-03-17, version 1.1.2*

I genuinely enjoyed the gameplay, but the biggest issue is how little content this game offers. It only has five levels, and then it’s over. Charging five dollars for such a short experience is hard to justify and feels overpriced. Unless more levels or meaningful content are added, it’s difficult to recommend this game, as it doesn’t deliver enough value for the price.

### 3/5 — Not working anymore?

*2025-12-03, version 1.1.2*

Gorogoa is a great 5 star title, but recently just freezes on opening screen and I can't play it anymore on my Ipad.  Are there any plans for fixes or updates? I would love to revisit this title.

### 2/5 — Saving issue !

*2025-07-17, version 1.1.2*

i purchased this app and loved it.started playing until  lvl 5. next day when started the app, All Saved was gone and game started from beginning !! i tried to play again but it seem same issue.im using mac pro M4.latest updates…

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2025-07-03, version 1.1.2*

Absolute perfection start to finish. Clever, just tricky enough, story is wonderfully inventive and interesting. I’ve never seen anything like this before. If you like Monument Valley, you’ll love this game. I thought MV was my favorite but this is now my #1. I can’t wait to play it again!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-05-16, version 1.1.2*

This was such a beautiful piece of art to play. The story, the clever use of dimension and the layers to both were sublime. Timeless.

### 5/5 — Absolutely stunning

*2025-03-23, version 1.1.2*

I’ve just finished playing but will immediately play again. The images are stunning but the game is a meditation that needs time to appreciate. You can whip through the bare bones of the action and puzzles pretty quickly but if you do, you’ll miss a lot. I absolutely loved this. Although they don’t look anything alike, this game reminds me of Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke. Beautiful to look at and very thought provoking.

### 5/5 — めちゃ良かった

*2025-03-13, version 1.1.2*

800円という値段を払って後悔しないか不安になりつつ、YouTubeやレビューを見て購入しました。

結果として、後悔なく何度もやり込むタイプなので同じことを何度もして楽しんでます。この場合、間違えたらどうなるんだろうなどそういう場合もきちんと作られてて個人的には楽しめます。(温度計時計)

子どもがやる場合は、大きな画面のPadでやった方がやり易いかな、、大体初プレイの時間が1時間ほどで慣れてヒントなしで頑張っても30分ほどです。

クリア後、2012年のデモ版がプレイできて本当に10年以上前とは思えない画質の良さとクオリティに驚きました

最後にこのゲームのデメリットも書かせてください
めちゃくちゃいいゲームだとは思うんですけど、データ保存がないので1プレイ終わった後もう一度すると前のデータはリセット。2012年版のデモを選択しても前のプレイ状況は残りません。
1回1回再スタートのゲーム
(特に問題はあるように感じない)

もう一つ、ムービースキップがありません。何度もやってるうちに早く早くと次の操作したいんですが数秒ほどのミニムービー待たなきゃです📽️ゲーム上必要な動作であるんですが、設定でスキップや早送りとしてオンオフできるようには今後して欲しいかもです

### 5/5 — Great game, fun experience

*2025-03-01, version 1.1.2*

Really worth the money spent, looking forward to more.

### 5/5 — Really cool

*2025-02-12, version 1.1.2*

This was such an interesting game! Absolutely loved it and only wish it was longer and could continue playing

### 4/5 — More levels

*2025-02-09, version 1.1.2*

We loved this game. I am 6. I played this game a lot with my mom. It was fun. We wished it was longer. Can you add more levels?

### 3/5 — Okay..

*2025-02-06, version 1.1.2*

The game was good, I won’t lie. I did enjoyed what I played. However, if I’m paying for a game, it better take me days or weeks to complete it. I finished this game within an hour. For that reason alone, I’d say you’re better off with any other similar free version.

### 2/5 — Stumped

*2025-01-30, version 1.1.2*

This is a beautifully illustrated games and fun figuring out the puzzle. It would have been a full 5 stars but I got stumped and when I broke down and looked to google with how to solve the clock puzzle it showed a photo like the one I saw on my game yet it was sunset and there was a star in the sky that was the key. So why in my game is it blue sky and no star? Does it also have to be night where I am? I’m confused.

### 4/5 — Fun but way too short

*2025-01-26, version 1.1.2*

Very enjoyable game but the cost of the game is not proportional to only a few hours of use.

### 4/5 — Original mais un peu court

*2025-01-12*

Mécanisme innovant et surprenant, logique vite acquises. Je recommande d’y jouer sur un écran un peu plus gros qu’un smartphone pour apprécier les illustrations. 
L’OST est top aussi.
Seulement 4 étoiles car un peu simple et finis en 1h20… le prix est un peu haut pour la durée de vie je trouve. 
Je recommande quand même ;)

### 5/5 — 世界観とアイデアすごい

*2025-01-08, version 1.1.2*

何とも言えない独特の体験をさせてくれる。
パズルゲームとしても、ちゃんと状況を理解すると気持ちよく解けるようになっています。
オススメできるが、強いて言うならボリュームが少ないので、同じゲームを長い時間かけてじっくりやりたい人にはオススメできない。

### 2/5 — Done in 30 minutes

*2025-01-04, version 1.1.2*

Unique game but $5 for 30 minutes of gameplay when you can purchase full blown games on Console or PC is totally overpriced, unless! The creators plan to add more chapters..but personally if I had know it was this short I would have spent by money on a different game/book.

### 4/5 — Loved the game but felt it lasted too little

*2025-01-02, version 1.1.2*

Absolutely pretty and immersive game but I wished there was more to it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No tutorial??

*2026-07-31, version 1.1.2*

This game is way too frustrating too to keep the incentive to keep going. And with zero guidance, whatever aesthetic appeal/potential it is disappears due to the frustration. Waste of five bucks.

### 1/5 — Too small for phone

*2025-07-10, version 1.1.2*

I love this game, it’s one of the best out there, I was excited to play again on my phone, but it is way too small to play on a phone. I immediately requested a refund because I can’t play it but was told it does not qualify for a refund. It’s misleading and frustrating that this was advertised to work on a phone and then no refund is possible.

### 1/5 — Game progress isn’t saved

*2025-05-18, version 1.1.2*

Twice now I’ve completed multiple chapters and when I return to the game I’m forced to start from scratch. I’ve heard great things about this game but this kind of bug is unacceptable after being out for this long.

### 1/5 — It’s a nope for me

*2024-08-19, version 1.1.2*

Bought this out of desperation for a new game. There’s no rhyme or reason to even remotely enjoy this game. Just click and hope something happens. I’ve played many, MANY logic, adventure, puzzle games, unfortunately I regret paying for this game.  I would not recommend this game at all.

### 1/5 — I want a Refund..

*2023-10-10, version 1.1.2*

The game was too easy and i beat it..

### 1/5 — Frustration inducing waste of time and money

*2022-12-23, version 1.1.2*

I honestly cannot comprehend the positive reviews for this game. Stay far away from this “game”

### 1/5 — Far too small on iPhone

*2022-09-23, version 1.1.2*

Totally disappointed after all the recommendations I bought this and can’t see anything on the iPhone it’s minuscule. Ridiculous this is sold for iPhone :(

### 1/5 — Help it won’t save!

*2022-08-13, version 1.1.2*

I don’t want to start from the beginning every single time I don’t know what’s wrong with it but mine won’t save

### 1/5 — Overrated

*2022-05-15, version 1.1.2*

Neat idea but ultimately a frustrating finger tapper type game

### 1/5 — No sound on iPad

*2022-02-08, version 1.1.2*

There is no sound on iPad. Is it possible to fix somehow?

### 5/5 — A Masterpiece I Never Wanted to End 🥰🌾

*2026-06-11, version 1.1.2*

Gorogoa is one of the most unique and beautiful puzzle games I have ever played. From the very first moment, I was captivated by its hand-drawn artwork, creative mechanics, and the way every puzzle felt like a work of art. The game doesn't just challenge your mind—it tells a story through imagination, exploration, and discovery.
What I loved most was how every solution felt rewarding. The puzzles were clever without being repetitive, and each new scene introduced a fresh way of thinking. The visual design is absolutely stunning, and the seamless transitions between panels made me feel like I was stepping into a living painting.
My only disappointment is that the game eventually ended. I found myself wishing there were many more levels—perhaps even an infinite mode—because I never wanted the experience to stop. Gorogoa is one of those rare games that leaves you wanting more, not because it is incomplete, but because it is so enjoyable and memorable.
Thank you to the developers for creating such a masterpiece. Gorogoa is a game I will remember for a long time, and I would gladly play hundreds more levels if they ever existed.

### 5/5 — Incredible puzzle game

*2026-06-10, version 1.1.2*

This game is extremely fun and unique. I highly recommend you take the time to play it because it might be my new all time favorite puzzle game!

### 5/5 — 5🏅

*2026-02-19, version 1.1.2*

Thank you!

### 5/5 — This game deserves more love

*2026-01-11, version 1.1.2*

Challanging, great graphics

### 5/5 — Beautiful Puzzle Magic 💫✨

*2025-12-15, version 1.1.2*

Oh my gosh babe 😍 Gorogoa isn’t just a game - it’s like holding a beautiful dream in your hands. Every scene feels hand-drawn with heart, every puzzle is clever in a way that feels smart but not stressful and the way pieces connect just hits sooo right 💅🏻✨. It’s artistic, calming, mysterious and makes you go “wait… that’s actually genius 😭💖” every few minutes. If you love games that feel like stories, art AND brain candy, this one is chef’s kiss 😘🔥✨

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2025-11-17, version 1.1.2*

Really beautiful and totally different game. Wish it was longer!

### 5/5 — Dicht und Atmosphärisch

*2025-10-18*

Es gehört zu meinen drei beliebtesten Spielen. Ich brauche wesentlich länger alls 2 Stunden für einen Durchgang. Ich habe es über einen längeren Zeitraum schon mindestens dreimal gespielt. Ich liebe es, in die mystische Atmosphäre der Geschichte hinein gezogen zu werden. Es ist zurecht, ein preisgekröntes Rätsel Spiel.

### 5/5 — Truly beautiful in every way

*2025-10-13, version 1.1.2*

Multiple times throughout this puzzle game I found myself gasping at the exquisite artwork, the expressive music, and the poignant themes explored through simple little scenes and tableaux throughout. It blew me away

### 5/5 — 7 years later & this is still the best I’ve played.

*2025-08-17, version 1.1.2*

I keep hoping for another game like this one, but none come close. This and Room are the only games I enjoyed so much that I dreamt about them.

### 5/5 — Unique and brilliant game

*2025-07-25, version 1.1.2*

The graphics and story are beautiful. The story is very abstract, but somehow you feel a connection. The mechanics are unique. It can be hard to figure out what you need to do, but it always makes sense once you do.
