### 5/5 — I kept Apple Arcade for this game alone

*2023-03-12, version 1.0.17336*

I come back and play every couple of years. The few glitches are long gone. Very immersive. Fun to just fly off the buildings and play around. Thanks for one of my all time favorite games and for fixing the major glitch a long time ago. How about another game like this one?

### 5/5 — Please make a part two!!

*2023-02-18, version 1.0.17336*

I love this game so much, one of my all time faves. I will say that the iPhone format is a little difficult with all the swiping, as it pulls down the notifications screen a lot. Other than that, I would really love to see some kind of sequel; I’ve beaten all the puzzles and want to see more. Fantastic work from this team!!

### 2/5 — Great game, but unstable on iPad

*2022-10-04, version 1.0.17336*

I really want to like this game, and I do for the most part. The puzzles are fun and the visuals are wonderful. But the game is really unstable on iPad. Frequent slow down and lag, and numerous crashes. The game will always crash at least once when I place the color cube at the end of each level. Now, at the end of the purple level, it crashes every time. I reload and it just crashes again. Currently, I cannot advance past this point. I’m going to keep trying, since I really want to see the end of this game, but its possible that I will be unable to finish it. I’m not sure if the devs are still looking at this game, but I would really appreciate this being looked at.

### 5/5 — Very rewarding/Must play

*2022-03-04, version 1.0.16214*

The puzzles are clever and fun. It’s hard, but not painfully frustrating. The graphics are great (runs phenomenally on both iPhone Pro 13 and Apple TV 4K) and the sound even better. Not many games give me such an emotional pleasure when the credits finally roll like this one did. Such an amazing journey.

### 5/5 — yes yes yes again. Exactly what I needed

*2022-01-07, version 1.0.15998*

This game. Ugh this GAME. it literally is everything I’ve ever wanted in a game. The mind ending ness just increases as the game goes on. At first it kinda directs you through the “levels” and then once you’ve established that it’s like Kay here’s the “map” now go and figure out how to do what you need to do. And what you need to do changes so frequently it’s constant entertainment. And then the whole jumping off the map and arriving back on the map thing… I love it. The way the game is challenging but not stressful is what makes it a to die for game. Sure some things are a little bit difficult to figure out at first but once you’ve figured it out oh the satisfaction. The only complaint I have is my game would glitch out and then not save my data but it’s ok, because yeah it’s ok.

### 5/5 — Trippy and challenging

*2021-11-25, version 1.0.15998*

I have no real complaints. It’s like being transported into a blocky version of an mc escher painting. I’m thankful this game is available on mobile. I emphatically support all efforts to make well-designed games like these accessible to anyone who doesn’t have the means to invest in gaming computers or consoles. I can just tell that a lot of love was put into making this. You get a real sense that whoever created it had a lot of fun.

### 1/5 — Very annoying glitch 👎👎👎

*2021-10-30, version 1.0.15892*

Don’t get me wrong, the developers really thought it out while making this game and I love that part. But this major glitch is really annoying and made me lose my progress.
I’ve overall played this game for about a week and towards the beginning everything was fine and dandy, I was progressing well. But on day 2-3ish I’d sign in and I’d go back 1-2 puzzles. It wasn’t too bad because it was simple then but just yesterday I accomplished the purple section(and was half way through the next level) and SAVED the progress I had in my log. 
So today I decided to play a little and I got back tracked a whole 2 levels in a really random location. So I checked my log and all my progress moments were gone again! (And I am the only one to use my device/account so no one else can access it).
 Very annoying and completely ruined the fun of this game, do not recommend unless you love losing progress

### 5/5 — One of the best puzzle games I’ve ever experienced. Not played, I ~experienced~.

*2021-09-14, version 1.0.15892*

I have really only finished the first major level so far, and have a long way to go, but I have never been as impressed and stunned as I have been playing this for the first time. The game is headache inducing, with the hard to wrap your head around and floor flipping mechanics, but it is an absolute joy to play. 

A couple of things to note. It’s very graphics intensive. I love the art style and it played perfectly on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, but not everybody has an iPhone 12. There are a ridiculous amount of things to render and the level of detail on light and shadows are incredible. Not to mention the sound effects, from the eerie to grand music and the pings and pongs of boxes on various materials.

The controls aren’t as bad as other people say, in fact, I felt it played quite smoothly, although I am an experienced iOS gamer. Very minimal controls, tap to do an action, camera movement with the right side of the screen and a small dpad for character movement.

Overall, I am really satisfied with this game. I was actually about to unsubscribe from Apple Arcade but this game blew me away and will keep me playing for awhile longer. Nothing cooler than going through a small door to see an incredible view just beyond.

### 3/5 — Great game… until I got stuck.

*2021-08-08, version 1.0.15683*

I have been really enjoying this game. I unlocked all 6 colors and was working on whatever comes next when I dropped into a small space in a tree with gravity upside down from the tree’s point of view. The space is too small in all 4 directions so I can’t switch gravity. I have no other saves because whenever I save it overwrites the previous one. When I load the game it takes me right back to the spot I am stuck… :(

### 5/5 — I fixed the cubies

*2021-06-30, version 1.0.15683*

This was a lot of fun to play. It was a challenging puzzle game that added new little changes and options at each level to give it new perspective. Some steps to a while to complete either because of my mistakes or slow movement. I would have liked having a map sometimes of discovered areas. I almost got stuck once because I hadn’t completed an earlier piece I skipped. This was good to play and come back later and encourages new thinking. The birds and trees are a nice touch, but something more personable would have made it feel less lonely. I think that was intended, but I still would have liked a traveling companion or something to make it feel like I was interacting with a character. The infinite multiverse gets lonely sometimes. 

This was a great challenge for a puzzle addict, and I really like the ending.
