### 1/5 — Wasted my money

*2017-08-06, version 1.0*

I really wanted to like this, but the game makes no sense. The instructions came up at the start but then disappeared forever and despite numerous attempts to figure it out, I still don't understand what I have to do.

### 1/5 — Waste of £1

*2017-08-04, version 1.0*

Just paid £1 for this game and it won't load, what a waste of money!!! 
I'm not in the slightest bit happy and I want to be refunded

### 2/5 — What's the secret?

*2017-08-30*

I wallow through until I stumble upon the solution, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to where the 'nodes' move to, and there are NO INSTRUCTIONS!!!  Please include some sort of guide. Thank you.

### 3/5 — うーむ

*2021-03-17*

途中まで楽しかったんですが、変容の26ステージ目がどうしても詰みます。押せるボタンが一つしかなく、戻そうとしても、範囲外になり戻せなくなります。

### 3/5 — One level is not possible to solve

*2018-09-21*

The level perambulation 11 is not possible as far as I can tell. I can line up the shape correctly, but the space it is supposed to fit in is just a few pixels off and it doesn't register as solved. As far as I can tell, there is no way to maneuver the shape so it ends up exactly on that guide.

### 5/5 — Great game but too easy for hardcore puzzle gamers

*2017-10-07*

The ‘official optimal’ solutions usually use too many moves.

### 5/5 — Good

*2017-08-16*

👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — TouchArcade thought it was too hard...

*2017-08-11*

So I bought it. It was the right decision. 

Extremely simple mechanics lead to complex puzzles. Not quite English Country Tune hard but tougher than it looks. The game rewards logical thinking and experimentation I found myself solving the same puzzles multiple times to get the minimum number of moves. The more I did that, the more intuitive the puzzles became. 

Also, it lets you know if you beat their score, which is great. No bugs to speak of. 

So far my favorite puzzle game of the year after Card Thief.

### 5/5 — Amazingly beautiful

*2017-08-10, version 1.1*

This has me hooked. The music is inviting and the game is elegantly made I am finding I am loosing about an hour a time to this and thoroughly enjoying every minute of it! 

The puzzles get harder however when you discover the pattern it doesn't seem that hard and I often find myself laughing at me! This is a great puzzler and if there are level updates that we can download it will keep me coming back every time for more.

Well done for this game, and at this price it's a must.

### 5/5 — Crash issue has been fixed.

*2017-08-08*

Took a chance because it looks nice, but it just crashes upon opening. If you have an iPad mini, which is what I have, you should wait until you see that it's been fixed.

Update 8/7/2017: Crash issue has been fixed in the latest version.  Very responsive developer fixed almost immediately! Enjoying it so far!  
Nicely designed!

### 5/5 — It's good

*2017-08-07, version 1.0*

👍🏻👍🏻

### 4/5 — Pleasing little puzzler!

*2017-08-08, version 1.1*

Can feel a bit like the only way to beat levels is guessing, but lovely little app overall!
