### 2/5 — Ugh

*2022-11-06, version 1.0.5*

For one, it’s an incredibly beautiful game. But that’s about all it has going for it. The tutorial doesn’t tell you what you’re supposed to do. I flew around for a couple minutes before figuring it out. And there’s nothing to do. You fly your guy into something wait a minute then try to figure out what else you’re supposed to do. No thanks.

### 2/5 — Really bad, given their other work

*2022-09-25, version 1.0.5*

Unsure how you make this almost terrible game after Frost and Bleck, but they did. The whole game is boring. They made things take a long time to give the illusion of challenge, but the game is soulless and it seems like the least amount of thought possible went into it.

### 4/5 — Great if you're in the mindset

*2022-02-27, version 1.0.5*

Let's just say it's great for certain mindsets. This got me out of being too high and made sense at the time. Otherwise I don't know.

### 3/5 — Need option to skip levels

*2022-01-19, version 1.0.5*

This is usually a great way to unwind before bed, but level 6 was extremely visually overwhelming and I couldn’t wait to get out of it. Level 7’s music slows to a crawl like someone is playing a record at the wrong speed & I had to turn the sound off to get through it. Please consider building an escape hatch to the next level if the sounds and/or shapes are triggering anxiety or a meltdown.

### 4/5 — A chill game

*2021-11-21, version 1.0.5*

This game is for those who like to chill, what I mean is that it is not action-packed. The game has around an hour or two(give or take) of play time. This is a slow moving game so don’t expect fast movement.

### 4/5 — Relaxing Game

*2021-08-31, version 1.0.5*

Relaxing game with a simple goal to get from point A to B using the momentum of the floating objects. The visuals and soundtrack are mesmerizing, especially when using headphones. It took some patience at first but I really enjoyed it in the end. I only wish there was more than one chapter.

### 3/5 — Not a game

*2021-04-16, version 1.0.5*

This isn’t really a game but instead more of a relaxing app , I don’t think it deserves 3.1 stars

### 5/5 — Immaculately beautiful

*2021-02-10, version 1.0.1*

For those looking for a traditional game - this is not for you.  However, this game is lovely.  I mean, it is gorgeous.  I was lost in it for over an hour the first time I played.  I think that playing this for about 20 minutes a day will help with tension... simply lovely.

### 5/5 — Meditation, relaxation

*2021-01-30, version 1.0.1*

This game is great for those who enjoy a meditative experience throughout the day or right before bed, this is not a game but rather a beautiful experience if you are open to it. It’s a great stress relief, it helps me relax into a nights slumber and indulge in a beautiful, colorful experience. I wear my blue-light blocking glasses and start my relaxing adventure. Highly recommended for the calm hearted. 💙

### 5/5 — Truly mesmerizing graphics

*2020-12-28, version 1.0.1*

Playing this “game” is like meditation. Graphics are stunning. Sometimes I’m reminded of schools of fish or fireworks, or both of those in a kaleidoscope. I think this might be my favorite app from Apple Arcade. I need all the stress-relieving I can get 😜

### 2/5 — So relaxing

*2020-12-24, version 1.0.1*

I love this game. I usually play games when I am trying to wind down for the night. The colors and the music is so relaxing. It's almost like meditation. 
Love love love.

EDIT:  had to remove a few stars because it's been forever and there are no new "levels". Once there is a " chapter 2" it'll probably go back up to 5 stars...

Second edit: still waiting for the next update.. 9 months and no update? Probably just going to delete the app since I don't play it anymore.. Removed 2 more stars... Very disappointed...

### 2/5 — Cool tech demo... not really a “game”

*2020-12-20, version 1.0.1*

It’s a beautiful app. It does well fusing calming sound with particle effects. However, there’s little to no gamification to it. It’s a strange addition to Arcade; it feels like it should be a regular App Store app. It’s good for those who like more defined sound for meditation, but gamers will not find anything here for them.

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2023-03-18, version 1.0.5*

If you are looking for a game like their “Frost”, you would be extremely disappointed.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2022-07-08, version 1.0.5*

Kind of a boring game. Disappointing considering FROST is such a great game. I’m not even sure what the gameplay was supposed to be besides poking my screen like a toddler

### 1/5 — jeez

*2021-06-28, version 1.0.5*

I had to watch a you tube video just to figure out how to start playing this.  Don't bother looking for support for instructions, they don't exist. I'm using an iPad. You move the small light on the screen by moving your finger along the bottom of the screen. You get to orbs. The small light lights them up. Then one becomes another shape and you have to figure out where to go, so you go along lighting up orbs. That's it. That's the "game.". Really a nothing experience.  Skip it. What a waste!

### 1/5 — It’s waste

*2021-06-23, version 1.0.5*

It glitched on level 4 and it’s not even fun it’s just taking a yellow circle across space

### 1/5 — No purpose what-so-ever.

*2021-06-04, version 1.0.5*

Controls are all messed up and pretty much unresponsive. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Not worth your time

*2021-04-12, version 1.0.5*

This game has no story, nothing happens. 

Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Title screen so annoying I deleted it without playing.

*2020-12-28, version 1.0.1*

It is not a privilege to watch your introduction.

### 1/5 — Won’t even load

*2020-12-26, version 1.0.1*

Game might be good if it would even load. Bad example of quality games from Apple Arcade!

### 1/5 — Would love to try

*2020-11-12, version 1.0.1*

But black screen of death...what gives?

### 1/5 — Wait, What?

*2020-11-09, version 1.0.1*

This game it showed a black screen and sometimes it took me back to the Home Screen.

### 5/5 — Extremely immersive

*2022-12-01, version 1.0.5*

This is nothing like playing Mario on NES back in the day. Heck’s it’s not even like playing anything else on the App Store really. If I could play this game in AR with a few upgrades (like from the future think star trek  tng holodeck level) holy guacamole i couldn’t imagine the possibilities. It just feels so nice to have a sense of limitlessnes yet still have an objective to make it a game. Sometimes yes I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be doing but a minute later I get it and I’m on the right path. The music in sync with my movements and various game interactions it’s just beautiful. It reminds me of Endel which if you know you know. I couldn’t recommend that app enough if I tried.

### 5/5 — Relaxing

*2022-05-10, version 1.0.5*

I love this game for what it is- a relaxing and beautiful chill game. I love playing after I’ve ;-) if you know what i mean.

### 5/5 — ??

*2022-03-28, version 1.0.5*

I love this app. Not sure what the heck I’m doing but it seems to be working! Got to level 13 anyway. Plus it’s so beautiful. nice just listening and seeing what happens next.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Wonderful

*2021-08-15, version 1.0.5*

I Loved everything about this game/puzzle and want MORE!, Please!  When will there be more Chapters? Soon, I hope. Thank You!

### 5/5 — Dude, unreal.

*2021-07-31, version 1.0.5*

This is the most visually pleasing “game” on arcade. Genuinely beautiful. Great job on this.

### 5/5 — Stunning.

*2021-07-05, version 1.0.5*

I
Love
This 
Game.
Too much to say I’m ‘in-love?’ An utter delight. Joy incarnate. So beautiful.. a work of art representing the collective unconscious. Bravo.

### 5/5 — There is some wisdom to this game.

*2021-04-19, version 1.0.5*

It is an active meditative experience which allows you to learn skills seemingly counterintuitive to most games. I won’t give too much away, but be prepared to chill.

### 5/5 — Psychedelic and relaxing

*2021-04-14, version 1.0.5*

This is the coolest app I've played. So relaxing. The graphics are gorgeous. It's  a great way to relax. Not really sure I want to complete levels because it's so cool to play with the flocks of beautiful colors reminiscent of fishes, birds and psychedelic phenomena.

### 5/5 — Beautiful game

*2021-04-01, version 1.0.5*

No words can describe this app other then STUNNING

### 5/5 — Relaxing!

*2021-02-25, version 1.0.5*

This game is beautiful! You just have to let yourself go and play it without expections. It truly relaxes you.
