### 4/5 — Great, but please update your copyright

*2025-03-06, version 1.8*

This game came out in 2009, 16 years ago. Try doing the copyright you use for a little bit — copyright 2009-2023. Thank you!

### 2/5 — It makes no sense.

*2022-11-23, version 1.8*

I tried it and I have no ldea what it means. I don’t know what else To say.

### 3/5 — More levels

*2018-02-08, version 1.8*

Great app, simple unique. But its wayyy to short. We need more levels (after all I did have to pay for this app)

### 4/5 — AWSOME

*2017-04-20, version 1.6*

Love the game, a good improvement would be Levels xx

### 4/5 — Good game

*2016-12-30, version 1.6*

It is a well made and fun game but if you get stuck it gets boring it would be nice to have some hints !

### 3/5 — It okay...

*2016-12-22, version 1.6*

It's good just well it is boring. After you play for a while it's like really boring. Also it's really frustrating.

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2015-12-24*

I could not figure out how to equal the weights even after the balance shows it equal. The birds and octopus keep jumping and shuffling. There is no help or tutorial that guides the user. My 8 year kid felt bored after a while and so did I. Expected this to be as good as metamorphabet.

### 3/5 — Get rid of the birds

*2015-02-20, version 1.6*

I like the game, it's really cool, but I wish the birds from the birdhouse wouldn't come out. It sometimes feels like they're only there to mess us up. The game is hard enough on its own. Maybe there could be an option to turn on details like that.

### 4/5 — Beautiful!

*2012-08-08, version 1.5*

Very whimsical and cute but it definitely needs a reset button!!

### 4/5 — Okay

*2012-04-29, version 1.5*

It is okay kinda weird at first:)

### 3/5 — Could do with a restart button

*2012-03-19, version 1.4*

A couple of instructions and start again option might be helpful. I found all the items in the water at once rather difficult to find/pick up.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2012-01-28, version 1.4*

It needs a RESET BUTTON please❕it's 👌just that I want that stupid snowman gone thanx very much!!! Peace!

### 3/5 — Ok

*2012-01-22, version 1.4*

Ok but needs a menu page and help bar

### 4/5 — McilDoc

*2012-01-11, version 1.4*

I really like the challenge.  Nice idea.

### 2/5 — Everyone's a critic

*2012-01-11, version 1.4*

I honestly do not like this game as it lacks information and help
It needs a tutorial level at least
I liked the game at the start then it got too confusing and I needed
Some help but there was none
I would enjoy this game if it had some of these
I am rating the game 2 stars only because of this

### 3/5 — Good but not perfect

*2012-01-02, version 1.4*

Listen I really like the game it's very challenging and very an interesting game I could have gave it 5 stars  but the only thing that. Made me give up one star are the birds they are the reason you keep loosing this game and that's really frustrating me I  get really mad that in the last seconds the birds decide to move from one place to the other place. Thats how it is and it's now  so not worth 0.99$   When I got this it was free but when I decided to instal it again iT was with 0.99 then I had to go though all my purchesd apps to get it free please fix the bird bug I know it's the thing. That makes it challenging but at least stop it from moving at least if we were about to win envy ways good game.and please make it more interesting after playing a while you'll get bord  of playing the same thing over and over again that's another reason I took another star please fix this bug

### 2/5 — NEEDS A RESET BUTTON

*2011-12-30, version 1.4*

It needs a reset button. Why didn't the developers put one in???

### 2/5 — No

*2011-12-25, version 1.4*

This game stinks.  It is impossible and it is not fun.

### 2/5 — Very disappointed

*2011-12-22, version 1.4*

I don't know if I am missing something but I can't find any instructions and this game is not intuitive. I'm very disappointed with it.

### 1/5 — Don't buy it. Period.

*2012-10-03, version 1.5*

Read Title...implies more than one lever...one stupid puzzle?  REALLY??!!??

### 1/5 — No.

*2012-05-06, version 1.5*

There's ONE level. You solve it and you're done. And it's not even fun. Genius... You failed me.

### 1/5 — Waste

*2011-12-22, version 1.4*

To hard and not that fun

### 1/5 — Don't know

*2011-06-25, version 1.4*

I don't know what to do u can get to where the octopus is ana then I get mad it's hard to do

### 1/5 — What

*2011-06-08, version 1.4*

What

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2011-01-01, version 1.3*

This app looked like it might fit into grade 4 science, simple machines.  Do not purchase like me!  After you balance 3 main objects, there is nothing else to do.

### 1/5 — That's it?

*2010-12-18, version 0*

This whole game takes about 3 tries to finish, free would be too much to pay. there is 7or 8 different things to balance, and then it asked me to play again???

### 1/5 — Needs save option!!!

*2010-11-17, version 0*

Decent game, but useless without a save option. If you need to take a call, or do anything you have to completely start the game over everytime.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2010-09-27, version 0*

Boring game, confusing and less than 5 minutes play time. No menu screen, chucks you straight into the game without explaining anything. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2010-05-11, version 0*

Don't bother, even if it's free

### 5/5 — I don’t really care to see

*2023-02-04, version 1.8*

Adelyn is the only thing that didn’t really love it and she was so saddened

### 5/5 — A simple, meditative game!

*2020-06-24, version 1.8*

Levers is a really relaxing- but also mildly challenging- app for people of all ages. It’s a good mind exercise and the sound effects and design are really nice. All in all a classic- you should get levers if you need some chill gameplay.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2018-11-24, version 1.8*

I just say it’s the best game

### 5/5 — Brilliant Visual Masterpiece

*2017-03-03, version 1.6*

It's amazing how the majority of people who have reviewed this Vectorpark installment are completely oblivious to the fact that the intended dynamic of this is 90% 
✨💠☀️ART💫🌀✨
and 10% simple-logical gameplay that crosses all languages and cultures, due to be it's instantly understandable objective that requires no directions...even for a 5 year old.
Everyone's bellyaching that "there are no hints", or "directions or a help file".  
   They're completely missing the magic of this "Forget About Everything" work of interactive art.

### 5/5 — Levers is great!

*2015-02-24, version 1.6*

Levers is a fun game where you balance various odd things (snowman, bowling ball) and it's a great, fun, game! I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Joyous

*2015-01-17, version 1.6*

I've not even opened this yet and here I am giving 5 stars. Vectorpark's work has been stunning, mesmerising, beautiful, strange, humorous and anonymous for years. It's the only way I have been able to thank her or him for their work through the years.

### 5/5 — I like this game

*2013-08-08, version 1.6*

I like this game

### 5/5 — Levers

*2012-04-01, version 1.5*

A wonderfully pure game/experience, as challenging as it is charming and meditative. I recommend all Vectorpark's efforts so far, this is a confident developer, unafraid to forge worlds and mechanics that are inviting as well as intriguing.

### 5/5 — Reset option please

*2012-02-01, version 1.4*

Such a cool game to play, but then you need to delete and reinstall it in order to show your friends.

### 5/5 — It rocks!

*2011-11-26, version 1.4*

Great app.I love it!
