Could have been a masterpiece
Probably one of the current best iOS games focusing on water physics play. Unfortunately this is also why I found it disappointing because: a) water disappears in lakes - the outflow is always lesser than the inflow even after giving enough time to reach equilibrium, and b) water sources stop spawning water when they are too far away from the current view - so my rivers would frequently suddenly run dry and if I scroll back to the water springs, a lot of water would suddenly spawn creating a sudden flood. Also unfortunate that the developer no longer seem to be actively working on this title so not hoping to see these issues rectified. Otherwise it could be a really solid water physics game.

Pretty game
Loads really fast, picks up where you left off, and has a surprising level of complexity or simplicity depending on how you’re feeling.
The controls are slightly too simple, as sometimes you need to create quite intricate flow paths but can’t quite do it because there’s something in the foreground. The ability to rotate the view somehow in these cases would be useful. But it doesn’t take away the enjoyment of the game; beautiful, relaxing, and thought provoking!

Why?
Basically worthless.
Frustrating at times
It’s a really beautiful game. The art and soundtrack are lovely. I think it needed to be a bit clearer though on what to do. The level after the kayakers in particular made no sense.
The kayakers were a bit excruciating in terms of how I often I had to reset, but then I got to the cars/highway level and there was no resetting even when numerous cars fell off (at one point I was unsure if the actual objective of the level was to be as chaotic as possible and deliberately knock cars off!). The resetting would’ve helped to indicate what the purpose of the level was (I think it was to water the trees? Even this was a bit obscure as it seemed impossible to water all of them).
At times the screen would jam and I had no idea why - I couldn’t seem to follow the bird or do anything. The leave with the sheep and campers was painful to scroll.
The bird itself wasn’t very useful as a guide. It started out useful in the first level, but as the game progressed the mechanics taught in the first level seemed to lose their meaning a bit.
Overall enjoyable, but the frustration at times took away from this. I think the game is seeking to be minimalistic, and to have players discover the rules/objectives as they go, but I think a BIT more direction would make the game more pleasant (even if there’s a “hint” button to make this optional).

Very cool game, worth your ~$5.
One of those ‘work it out your self’ sandbox games
Restart too painful/too slow.
Gameplay utterly unintuitive.
The tutorial leads you off the mountain and that’s it.
Restart is too painful to try more than once.

A gem for sure
This is a hidden gem. Really good fun. Optional challenges. Relaxing. Fun to just mess around with.
Highly recommended.

An Excellent Game
Such a peaceful and beautiful game! I’m lucky to have stumbled upon this gem.
From sculpting the land to watching the water break into tiny blue strands, this game has become one of my favorites.
Roia is easy to understand and all you need is two fingers.
This game gives you the chance to appreciate the land we stand on.
Great work!

Nice and peaceful game
Great music andsatisfying water flow! The game is a bit short but fun.
Was hoping I would be able to explore the entire stream after reaching the end or see an overview of what we accomplished. I think that would be a nice ending touch

10/10
i absolutely LOVED this game - if you have the patience to beat all the hard parts then i think this beautiful game is meant for you. i beat the entire game but there are parts where it gets difficult, finding out this was made by a solo dev blew my mind! its so cute and minimalistic though sometimes i got lost and i couldn’t find the bird haha but i downloaded and took a break last night and completed it this morning ! i need to find more games like this!!

Thoroughly enjoyed
Exactly what I wanted, something chilled but engaging. ‘Finished’ the game in a couple of hours but looking forward to playing again and completing more of the objectives.
Hidden gem
I rarely write reviews but this is truly a hidden gem, greatly done game and I truly enjoyed the gameplay!!
To quick to beat.
Gameplay is pretty good for the concept of game. Does only take about 30 mins to complete the game and that’s it. Sadly feels like a waste of money for what the game is. Could be a lot better if there were more chapters.
Nice. Aber warum kann ich nicht mehr weiterspielen?
Liebe App-Entwickler, ich hab das Spiel vor Monaten gekauft. Dann aber eine Weile pausiert. Jetzt hab ich wieder angefangen, kann aber nur Kapitel 1 spielen. Die weiteren sind gesperrt? Warum? 🤔
Beautiful chilled out game.
Great fun, relaxed play
Okay
There is good potential here. Interface needs quite a bit of work as does not always recognise finger moves. Hopefully developers don’t just grab the money and ignore the game as some updates could be good. I like the concept so fingers crossed.
Unable to proceed beyond level 8
Unable to proceed beyond 8- the bord keeps flying nowhere
Super Spiel, schnell durchgespielt.
Ein wirklich schönes, entspanntes Spiel. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen: total schnell durchgespielt. Weitere Level wären toll.
Ein bisschen zu wenig
Eigtl. habe ich was kleines für zwischendurch gesucht - aber das ist ein bisschen zu wenig. Ich finds leider langweilig.
Wunderschön
Total entspannend und liebevoll gemacht! Tolle Musik :)
