### 3/5 — Amazing start, lacking finish

*2025-12-04*

I’ve always loved your puzzle games, the likes of klocki and push are some of the most enjoyable puzzle games ever, and I can say the same for most of this game. 

But… the last bunch of levels feel like tacked on extras, as opposed to the rest of the game which actively introduces new mechanics and reinforces how they work, (all but one) of these later levels just feel like busywork instead of a puzzle to solve. 

Still a cute and fun game, I think its rather distant from some of your other titles.

### 4/5 — Adorei

*2024-06-04*

Vamos fazer mais por favor

### 4/5 — Fun, but got hard!

*2022-04-02, version 1.36*

Need to show what level I am on!

### 4/5 — تقييم

*2022-03-17, version 1.35*

لعبة رائعة ومسلية لكنها تحتاج المزيد من التعديلات

### 3/5 — Schöner Stromfresser

*2021-09-08*

Mir hat das Spiel sehr gut gefallen. Ein einfaches Spielprinzip aus dem heraus sich viel interessante Level ergeben, die nie langweilig wurden.

Für der Stromverbrauch zwei Punkte Abzug: Für eine recht schlichte Grafik einen derartig irrsinnigen Akku-Killer zu bauen leichtet mir nicht ein.

### 5/5 — Tolles Puzzle-Spiel

*2021-08-08*

Sehr entspannendes Spiel mit richtig viel Spaß

### 5/5 — Cool!

*2021-07-30*

Very well done. Thanks Dev!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game / Too Short

*2021-07-14*

It's one of the few puzzlers that kept me coming back again and again… until it was suddenly over
Unique intuitive gameplay. Keeps your mind spinning. The game also continues to introduce new mechanics as it goes along, and does a great job of easing you into them. 
Sadly, it's just so short. According to iPhone screentime, I got exactly 95 minutes play time out of it. (For those wondering, there are exactly 48 levels.)
I really hope the developer adds on some levels or releases a sequel.

### 4/5 — So fun!

*2021-07-13, version 1.05*

Not the typical puzzle game. Very fun!

### 4/5 — Enjoyable

*2021-07-13*

Really enjoyed this game while it lasted. Would love to see some more levels. More levels would equal a 5 star rating

### 4/5 — Good but short

*2021-07-11*

I enjoyed the puzzles more than I expected from the first few levels; there were a lot of nice mechanics. However it provided less than an hour of gameplay, which I found disappointing.

### 4/5 — 絵あわせ要素はいらない

*2021-07-10*

途中から絵あわせパズルになって、これは違うと思ってやめる人が多そうですが、我慢して絵あわせをやっていればそのうちまた違う形式に変わります。
パズル自体は面白いのですが、今やってる面が何面なのかわからないしメニューやステージセレクトが無いのが不便です。

### 5/5 — Thus puzzle game is great

*2021-07-09*

For me, challenging yet relaxing. 
Need more levels (only 48 that are not numbered)

### 5/5 — Very entertaining!

*2021-07-09*

Needs more levels, though. Even better would be a level designer, and a facility for sharing them.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2021-07-08, version 1.05*

Okay, now how do I exit the game without force quoting?

### 5/5 — Relaxing fun that makes you think a little

*2021-07-08*

Easy to figure out. Simple and relaxing to play yet makes you think.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2021-07-08, version 1.05*

This puzzle solving game is really brilliant, I’ll follow your other games. Good work!

### 5/5 — More levels plz

*2021-04-23, version 1.05*

This game was incredible but needs more levels!

### 5/5 — Outstanding game

*2021-02-03*

Yes, I want more levels.  This is a game for people who think.  No instruction.  No flashing lights. No little, meaningless badges.
You can play this to your heart’s content.  Soothing music.  
Wonderfully relaxing and it engages your brain.

### 1/5 — ルールが明確でない要素

*2020-10-05*

回転させたり黒ブロックが消せないところまでは説明無しで分かりましたが、丸と線を繋ぐ要素が結局何が正解か分からずに途中で止めました。
ブロックを移動させるゲームをしていたはずなのに突然ルール変更された気分です。

### 1/5 — Hard to close and get out of app

*2019-12-06, version 1.05*

Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Easy and Short

*2019-11-26, version 1.05*

The game’s price is too high considering that there are only a limited amount of puzzles. The puzzles are also very simple and easy to complete. I finished the game in around 20 minutes.

### 1/5 — Just a block sliding puzzle?

*2019-11-17*

The art style is great, but the puzzles range from bad to mediocre and the gameplay is clunky.

The main gameplay issue is having to spin the level to see the different sides of the blocks. It would have been nice to be able to make a block partially transparent (or something) to avoid having to spin the level over and over. But this doesn’t really matter, because all of the puzzles are trivial and require no thought. Every move is completely obvious, so you just mindlessly poke at the blocks until you get to the next easy puzzle. Don’t bother.

### 2/5 — Too short for a paid game

*2022-06-26, version 2.6.2*

This is a lovely game with great promise but I completed it in probably less than an hour of actual gameplay. This felt more like the introduction to a game than a complete package. I’m happy to pay for ad-free games to ensure the developer is fairly compensated but this feels like it gives very little in return.

### 2/5 — 私にはこの会社のゲームは全て合わなかった

*2020-04-30*

途中までは面白かったが、途中からよく分からない絵柄を作らされる要素が全てのゲームで出てくる。
これがわたしには全く面白く感じれずただただ苦痛でやめてしまった。
説明は難しいのだが、しっかりとしたパズルが好きな人はその要素に腹が立つ人がいるかも知れない

### 2/5 — Durée de vie bien trop courte

*2020-04-11*

Voila ...

### 2/5 — Nice, but very few levels

*2020-03-23*

Really nicely made, but needs a lot more levels. I played them all in less than a day.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2019-11-19, version 1.05*

Not up to this dev’s usual stellar standard. Push, Hook, and klocki are classic examples of this type of puzzle. Naboki, though, is tedious by comparison. It just involves hunting and pecking - keep rotating and searching for the next thing you can click. It is dull and more of a slog than a fun challenge. Get the other three if you haven’t yet. They shine. This one, not so much.

### 2/5 — Nice design, way too easy

*2019-11-17, version 1.05*

No real challenge to these. Looks nice though.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great puzzle games, no ads

*2026-04-21*

It’s rare this days to find a great and honest game. All of NABOKI’s are challenging, creative and peaceful. I love the games and appreciate the developers for doing a great job and keep it honest. I’ll recommend these games to everyone.

### 5/5 — 様々な要素の組み合わせが面白い

*2025-01-02*

構築された立体をレバーでほぐして矢印で飛ばしたり線を繋いでブロックを消滅させる。PUSHと違って入り組んだ立体は視点を自由に変えて思考できて軽快。凝り固まった塊をほぐして消すってスッキリ綺麗に片付く感じで気分が良い。

### 5/5 — Unique Fun Gameplay

*2022-05-22*

This developer has an impressive knack of making unique and fun gameplay in the form of puzzles that progress from wordless tutorial levels to engaging and complex challenges.  Hook and Klocki number among my favorite puzzle games, and Naboki lives up to the expectations those games set.  :-)

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2022-03-19, version 1.35*

Over too soon, but fun game.

### 5/5 — Very Entertaining

*2022-03-15*

This is difficult enough to be fun and encourage trial and error but not so difficult that it is overwhelming. I enjoy that it is not a timed game so that I can experiment. No penalty for mistakes. Great!

### 5/5 — New Levels!

*2022-03-12*

I have enjoyed this game and was much suprised and excited! to see a new level added after 2 years. Thank you puzzle master.

### 5/5 — Intelligente Knobelei für zwischendurch

*2022-03-10*

Ich liebe die Spiele dieses Entwicklers: Kein Menü, kein Tutorial - weil es nicht nötig ist! Erst denkt man: wie einfach... aber das sind nur die „Lern-Runden“ und die Schwierigkeit steigert sich schnell. Die Kritik an der Kürze kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Sorry Leute: das Spiel kostet weniger als 1 Kugel Eis - und die ist viel schneller weg als das Spiel durchgespielt ist! ich zahle sehr viel lieber 1-2 Euro als mit nerviger Werbung zugeballert zu werden oder dann ohne teure in-app-Käufe doch nicht weiter zu kommen. Der Entwickler bringt eine Leistung und die finde ich sehr fair honoriert. Vielen Dank und bitte mehr so tolle Spiele!

März 2022
Vielen Dank für den tollen neuen Level - echt knifflig!

### 5/5 — Excellent toy puzzles from an excellent puzzlemaster

*2022-03-08, version 1.05*

AAA

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2021-12-02*

Short but interesting. It’s turning into a game I’m replaying every few months. A minor classic!

### 5/5 — Chill and challenging

*2021-09-26, version 1.05*

Really fun and simple game.
It did get quite complicated in the end but I enjoyed the challenge! A unique puzzle game that is chill and fun.
