### 4/5 — Cool game, wasted $3.99 on unlimited hints

*2026-07-04, version 1.5.1*

Tried out Kami, love how it was made using PAPER ✨📄 Don’t wanna waste my 5 hint credits so I bought unlimited hints and wasted $3.99 on them.

### 2/5 — Too expensive for the product

*2026-02-10, version 1.5.1*

The game is fun but there are so few levels available for the cost. Disappointing.

### 5/5 — Fun unique and challenging

*2025-09-08, version 1.5.1*

It doesn’t seem like it would be tough at first, but it makes you think for sure once you started into it

### 5/5 — AndyPandy153

*2025-07-31, version 1.5.1*

I bought this game because AndyPand153 recommended it 6 years ago. And their user name made me laugh 😂. And they were right it a really good puzzle game.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-12-29, version 1.5.1*

Good game that is very aesthetically pleasing and makes my brain hurt!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-07-25, version 1.5.1*

It’s amazing game!🔥

### 1/5 — A bug for achievements

*2023-05-18, version 1.5.1*

There is a bug for obtaining the achievements!
If you complete all puzzles perfectly, then you cannot obtain another achievement!

### 4/5 — Challenging game

*2022-12-05, version 1.5.1*

Nice to play, the two issues I found was progress sync between devices and achievement system broken after playing on 2 devices.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game👍

*2022-07-12, version 1.5.1*

I love this game and I have ever since it came out and I see other reviews saying that it’s too cramped up or the game is laggy or there’s not enough puzzles on it, but there are 45 puzzles, it’s great, you just have bad internet, you have fat fingers, there’s a literal KAMI number 2. So don’t give a bad review you’re just simply not smart enough to realize how all of those problems can be fixed on your own…    Well the fat fingers, you probably can’t fix, but my point still stands. 
It’s a great game🙂

### 5/5 — Love it. Beautiful and original

*2022-05-15, version 1.5.1*

No annoying ads. Beautiful game. I know it’s old, but it is still fun after leaving it off my phone for a couple years.
