### 5/5 — Fun and easy to learn

*2024-08-10*

first levels help you learn quickly

### 5/5 — Great puzzle game

*2023-09-11*

Lots of attention de details, nice and smooth experience. And great puzzling

### 5/5 — Fun and Interesting

*2023-07-25*

I like the design and it’s semi-challenging.  I’d play it again.

### 5/5 — Love puzzles??  This one is a classic

*2021-04-26*

Clean. Elegant. Confounding. Addictive. Play it!

### 3/5 — So so

*2020-03-22*

This game is not a bad puzzler, but it could do with some further evolution of the mechanic. If anything it gets easier as you progress. Also, far too few levels, only 50.

### 1/5 — 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

*2019-09-15*

I don’t appreciate Ads in a paid game. Shame on you!

**Developer response:** There no ads in game. I don't get this disrespect by less than handful people about a game clearly appreciated by all others.
I get the critiques, but here I see none.
Just remember that behind a teensy 1.99$ game there're months and months of work.

### 3/5 — Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

*2019-08-08*

Das Spiel ist als Smartphone-App zu teuer für die geringe Anzahl an Leveln. Gutes Spiel, da geht aber noch viel mehr. Ideen gibt es da mehr als genug, um das Spiel zu erweitern.

**Developer response:** Froh, dass es dir gefallen hat. Ich arbeite weiter an RUNA, das Spiel wird ständig weiterentwickelt. Ein Update fügt neue Level hinzu. Ein Spiel zu machen ist harte Arbeit und erfordert Fortschritte. Es kann nicht alles zur gleichen Zeit gemacht werden. Ich hoffe du verstehst. Und trotzdem, danke fürs Spielen, ich hoffe du hattest Spaß damit.

### 4/5 — I like it!

*2019-07-01*

Enjoyable and sufficiently challenging :)

### 3/5 — Good while it lasts, but it doesn’t.

*2019-06-21*

Solid game with a solid premise and some great puzzles, but it feels like it ends way too quickly.  For $1.99 I expected a game at least one-and-a-half, maybe two, times as long.

**Developer response:** Hi, the game will get updates with new levels. You can subscribe to the beta to try them first. Making a game is somehow a iterative process, stuff gets added in steps. Hope you understand, and will came back to play the new content.
Thanks for your support.

### 1/5 — Too many nags

*2019-03-07*

This game effectively requires me to rate it. So I did.

**Developer response:** Hi, I wonder how this review can help to make the game better. Because, as you can imagine, I actively work and talk to players to improve it. When a game is out, is not set in stone, it can be (and will be) reworded a lot.
With your vote, you just shattered the game with no appeal and, above all, without talking about the game itself. You had fun? You found the right challenge? The difficulty is balanced? It make you think is different ways?
Something about that had helped me and other players to have a more truthful opinion about the game. In this way, I can do nothing.
If you do believe that communication can sort all things out, just reconsider your vote, because it deeply impacted the chance to put more work on it. 
You can contact me games@nonostante.io, and I will address any feedback.
