Wish I could still play it

I loved playing this game. I wish I could do it again but it won’t open on the newer iPhones. :-(

Crashes every time

I would love to love this app, but it crashes every time I open it.

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work on iPhone SE iOS 15.5, and iPad mini 4 iOS 15.4 and there is no app support. Can’t give 0 stars

Doesn’t work :(

I want to try this game so badly!! Please update it so it works with current IPhones!!

Doesn’t load

Game flashes to next screen and quits. Have tried to reinstall twice. iPhone X.

Does not work

Downloaded this app through the App Store twice on my ipad. It does not e en open. Please refund my money. Bel

Clever and Innovative

gem that combines classic puzzling mechanics with an evocative text adventure. Beautifully designed and highly recommended.

Severe battery drain

This game seems to drain the battery very rapidly. This may be because the game also seems to be sending vast amounts of data through the internet. I also do not understand why the game is using up battery while the iPad is in standby mode.

Summary was correct

Yes, I am now confused. Haven't played very far but the game doesn't seem very compelling or cohesive...

Interesting & engaging game

A new, unique way to imagine a game in a genre that has produced so many dry and monotonous Candy Crush clones. The story is good, albeit difficult to follow at times. The full story unlock is placed at a good time so as to make the player have enough background of the game to want to continue. As for the gameplay, the variety of puzzles keeps the player engaged, but at certain points the player can get stuck to the point that the game becomes boring. A hint system or somewhat of an online walkthrough would be helpful to assist players in getting through the more tedious areas, especially Chapter 10. Finally, the sound effects are nicely done, but a bit of ambient music would be appreciated, as it gets a little dry at times listening to the same clicks and chimes. Overall, great game, but needs some work.

You had me until the games started being timed

Having no discernible eye-hand coordination, I don't get much joy from timed mini games. We should have the ability to disable the timer. Seemed fun up until that point, though.

Haunting

Fun game, wish it would go somewhere sometimes

Story and puzzle intertwine

The best comparison I can make to this game is Quell, with its melancholy setting. But MSM incorporates the story into the look and feel and pace of the puzzles, to enchanting effect.

One of a kind!

Addictive

Addictive and challenging, a neat little puzzle game with plenty of playability:)

Match-4 with heart

An intriguing story, fascinating meta-mechanics. The gameplay is simple, but manages to evoke the movement of the story from moment to moment. Great to pick up for a moment on the bus or an hour at your desk.

Intriguing

This game is addictive and fun, but I have to take a star off because of eye strain and no epilepsy warning.

At this point, it’s incredibly memorable

a really nice break from explosions and tanks. I haven't checked out A Dark Room yet, but it looks like I might have to. I'm also trying to get the young ones into it, and so far I'm surprised at the reaction.

Edit: I'm on the fence, playing both games right now.

Finished a dark room, heading to finish this one now, but both so interesting.

Unique, meaningful, and fun

I'm so glad I downloaded this game. It blends relaxing, aesthetically lovely puzzles with a tragic/exciting story to make for a really unique and artistic experience.

I'm really impressed with the writing, and the gameplay is fun. It's fairly well varied; there are six or seven different but similar types of puzzles depending on the level/story/urgency, which makes for decent variety.

Some of the gameplay is a bit tedious, which is why I took a star off, but I've always come back and completed the levels I've lost patience for. There was one level/puzzle I played over and over and over without passing, and I think the game registered this and gave me an alternate puzzle to complete. I might be wrong though! Maybe I did beat it and didn't realize. But anyway, if the game *did* recognize my inability to complete a level and adjusted accordingly, I am enormously impressed!

Great Idea

Refreshingly original combination of genres. Flawless aesthetics. My only complaint is that the story lacks a hook-- I'm about an hour in and there's no tension, only descriptions of locations. I expect to like it better as I find out more.

One of a kind, both story and game

Sometimes it feels like a story, where I pass the time playing the games, though there are shiny parts where the games and the story come together in tense or emotional ways that leave me wondering if the game could really keep that level up the entire time.

The touch interactions are majestic, the best I’ve played in a matching game, and it feels like you’re connected to it. I think it could be harder. But this new version mentions that might happen, so maybe I’ll play again. Anyways, really need, unique, not anything else like it out there.
