[REVIEWS]

“An interesting twist on your typical puzzle game which leads to a fun experience.”
3.5/5 – Geeky Hobbies

“They say video games can’t teach you anything. They say it’s not an art form and it can’t offer you a single drop of culture. Whoever said that really needs to give Mystic Pillars a shot. Not only did I feel smart tackling its math-based puzzles like a smug scholar, but also made me want to dive into Indian culture.”
7/10 – waytoomanygames

“Mystic Pillars is a great puzzle game that not only looks pretty but the art design and lore of the game is pretty unique. The gameplay is solid as well because the puzzles will keep you busy for a good time.”

### 5/5 — Anspruchsvolles Kunstwerk

*2023-04-29*

Wunderschöne Grafik, tolle Musik (in jedem Dorf eine andere) und gut gemachte Logikrätsel. Manche habe ich sofort heraus und an anderen hänge ich auch mal eine Weile fest.
On top noch eine wirklich interessante Story. Normalerweise nerven mich Stories in Spielen, weil sie meist aufgesetzt/ an den Haaren herbeigezogen und eigentlich unnötig sind. Aber hier ist auch die Story toll: ein schönes Märchen, das das Spiel erklärt und motiviert.
Rundum ein kleines Kunstwerk, das ich schon mehrfach gespielt habe!
Ich wüsste nichts, was man besser machen könnte.
Vielen Dank an die Entwickler!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5 star review! You made our day :)

### 5/5 — Serene puzzler

*2022-09-20*

Starts easy… but gets tough around 20s.

### 4/5 — Fantastisches Spiel

*2021-08-06*

Ein genial umgesetztes Spielkonzept und das sogar mit einer storyline! Die einzigen Kritikpunkte sind für mich Einzelheiten die Animationen betreffen, wie z.B. das Einblenden der Wegpfeile (das könnte smoother sein). Sonst ist es ein absolutes Meisterwerk!

### 1/5 — How do you play this game?

*2021-08-01*

It opens up with some pillars, shows you what to select and then the game starts. WTH? I just kept hitting pillars until they went down, but I have no idea WHAT I did right? 

Is there a tutorial somewhere?

**Developer response:** Hey Leefoo26 - If you go to the settings page, you can revisit the tutorial again. Hope you have a good time with Mystic Pillars.

### 1/5 — Does not load on iOS 10.3

*2021-07-31*

The game looks super interesting, but I can't get it to load on my iOS 10.3. It says iOS 9.0+ should be supported. Can you look into this ? The only thing I see if I wait long enough is a black screen, followed by a crash - the app closes by itself.

### 5/5 — Beautiful & Challenging

*2021-07-31*

I love this game, it’s fun and the graphics are awesome!

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2021-07-31*

If you like a challenge then this is the game for you, I love the story and solving the puzzles this game will keep me busy for a while love it.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-07-31*

Enjoyable cut scenes, great story and puzzle style.

### 5/5 — Nice puzzle game

*2020-12-21*

Nice game with a historical background and puzzles similar to Tower of Hanoi. Works great on iPad Pro 2018.

### 4/5 — Fun puzzler

*2020-08-30*

Nice little game with the right amount of challenge.
