### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — 😩

*2022-05-14, version 1.5.1*

I don't like the new [pick a color] position with cramped up [home] [restart] buttons. I got a iPhone max buy i am playing like i got a mini because its taking too much space when the other buttons under are still cramped. Why not rising the playground up closer to the notch and make the buttons for colors and other larger under?... use the display more don't cramp everything into a square guys. And it will be better the playground to be separated by the color boxes where you pick a color. It was deceiving then but now its even harder. Many times i thought its a part of the maze.

### 2/5 — Pay more to have fun

*2022-03-05, version 1.5.1*

Hints if you stuck? Pay more. More levels? Pay more.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2020-09-25, version 1.5.1*

Not a lot of games make you think hard like this!!!!  When you finish a puzzle you really feel like you accomplished something!

### 4/5 — Nice game. Wish it had a colour blind mode

*2020-09-19, version 1.5.1*

You reach a point at which the game is impossible because as a colour blind person you just can’t see the differences in the pieces.

### 5/5 — Muito bom!

*2020-08-02, version 1.5.1*

É lindo e muito bom!

### 5/5 — Schönes Puzzle

*2020-06-21, version 1.5.1*

Bereitet Freude, weil es zwar knifflig ist, man aber schnell Strategien lernt und der Spaß dann erst richtig beginnt.

### 5/5 — What a wonderful thing

*2020-04-16, version 1.5.1*

How can same developers be so intelligent? What a great thing to do while listening to an audiobook or music.

### 5/5 — Interesting and pleasing!

*2020-04-09, version 1.5.1*

The puzzles are thinkers, and the sounds and visuals are soothing! Love it!

### 5/5 — Just Awesome!

*2020-03-28, version 1.5.1*

My 9 y.o daughter and I are thrilled with this game!

### 5/5 — Completely charming!

*2020-03-13, version 1.5.1*

I love games that promote thinking and avoid violence. Plus it’s so much fun to solve the puzzle, have it fold up neatly and be sealed with a Perfect.

### 4/5 — 다시 결제를 하래요ㅠㅠ

*2020-03-13, version 1.5.1*

게임은 정말 재밌고 그래픽도 너무너무 맘에 들어요
근데 게임 내 별도구매를 하는 3개의 를 모두 구매하였는데 계속 렉이걸려 지웠다 다시 깔았더니 더시 구매를 하라고 하네요 아직 한 판도 안했는데 원래 다시 구매를 해야하나요??

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-02-20, version 1.5.1*

Game

### 3/5 — Zu wenige Level

*2020-01-07, version 1.5.1*

Leider viel zu wenige Level.

### 3/5 — Needs updating

*2020-01-06, version 1.5.1*

It’s small on an iPhone 6s Plus. It needs to be updated to take up the entire screen.

### 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!

### 1/5 — So frustrating

*2021-05-02, version 1.5.1*

I had 4 hints to use. I just wanted to get past this puzzle and move on. I tried using the hints but each time it gave me the same exact hint over and over again and still charged me for each time even though it was only one exact same hint given each of the 4 times and not a different hint each time. Why is this? It doesn’t make sense. Who wants to pay for the exact same hint each time? How can you ever get the next hint or a new hint - at least a different hint! A waste of time.

### 1/5 — Nutzt nicht das Format vom iPhone 11 Pro

*2020-01-18, version 1.5.1*

Schade

### 1/5 — i have to buy additional levels?

*2019-03-01, version 1.5.1*

There are only 45 levels in this game. 9 of them are tutorials and are extremely easy. So much potential but little to no content.

### 1/5 — not for 2018 ipad pro 12.9”

*2018-12-29, version 1.5.1*

game rotates immediately to portrait mode then blacks out the bottom 1/4 of the screen, so you can’t see/reach whatever is on the bottom of the screen. if you enter the info screen you can’t get back to the home screen because of this — have to force-quit the game and restart. but without the bottom of the screen you can’t finish past puzzle 4 anyway…. KAMI 2 works beautifully, what is wrong with KAM !?!? Please fix!!

### 1/5 — Viel zu teuer ingame

*2018-11-12, version 1.5.1*

Will für 5 Hinweise(hints) 1,09€ ingame oder unlimited 4,49€. Finde ich schon reichlich übertrieben.
Hints sollten von Anfang an Nichts kosten. Das Spiel ist teuer genug. Gebe die App zurück, so ein Modell werde ich niemals unterstützen. Never ever.

### 1/5 — Leider schlecht angepasst

*2018-10-10, version 1.5.1*

Leider funktioniert Kami nach mehrmaligen Laden wiederum nicht - es passt sich nicht dem Bilschirm an und ist daamit nicht spielbar. Schade.

### 1/5 — Not as good

*2018-06-28, version 1.5.1*

It’s not as good as KAMI 2, yet it’s not free...
Don’t get it. Kami 2 should be paid, this one is not interesting at all. The animation is bad, the puzzle is bad..

### 1/5 — Broken

*2018-03-27, version 1.5.1*

Game won’t let me progress to the next puzzle.  Stuck on the very first puzzle.  Even though I aced it, it won’t let me select the next.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Half the screen is black. Wasted $$$ buying this in the developer pack. Please fix

*2018-03-07, version 1.5.1*

Half the screen is black

### 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!🔥

### 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.

### 5/5 — Ein entspannendes Vergnügen

*2022-03-20, version 1.5.1*

Einfach ein bisschen puzzeln und die Seele baumeln lassen.

### 5/5 — I like this a lotttt

*2021-11-15, version 1.5.1*

This game is a masterpiece. I love playing this kind of simple puzzle games, but Kami is different in the aspect of it's handcrafted puzzle game. That means each level is well-designed and I love how the game designer tried to trick the players by giving us similar two levels and you need to solve them with different approaches.

P.S. I've also been a fan of Kami 2 but just got to play this game recently. Anyways, I look forward to more games like this (some simple, not-so-complex mechanics, handcrafted games) from your studio!

### 5/5 — Beautiful to look at and challenging too

*2021-02-04, version 1.5.1*

A fun and challenging game - I can feel my brain having to think in a different way to solve the puzzles. The design is beautiful, I love the origami feel to it.

### 5/5 — Incredible Graphics!

*2020-11-24, version 1.5.1*

Great game and awesome graphics! As a person who works in graphic design aspect, I extremely love their graphics and sound effects!!!
