### 5/5 — Where’s SS2?!

*2023-10-12, version 1.3.5*

Tbh best game I’ve played in a loooong time. I want more!!

### 4/5 — Can’t unlock all levels

*2023-08-26, version 1.3.5*

The buy button to unlock all levels is too low on my phone, can’t click it.  Is it also a puzzle?

### 5/5 — Finished!

*2023-08-23, version 1.3.5*

Love this game. The 2 final games are harder than I imagine, it took sometimes to figured it out. For anyone who hasn’t finished the last one, go back to the first riddle and think outside of the box. Hope you will get the hint

Thank you the developers for those amazing riddles!

### 3/5 — Should’ve just made the game 2 dollars

*2023-07-19, version 1.3.5*

Way too little free content to be listed as a free game. Kinda disappointing but still good

### 5/5 — Lovely puzzles! I hope for more!

*2023-07-01, version 1.3.5*

Beautiful and challenging puzzles. Hints are helpful and don’t give it away. No ads. I paid $2 for the full set and they were worth it. Only disappointment is there aren’t more. I hope the developer continues.

### 5/5 — Great puzzles and a little different

*2023-05-02, version 1.3.5*

Really enjoy these puzzles. They are quite unique and I like the exploratory aspect of them.

### 3/5 — Game ends so fast :(

*2023-03-27, version 1.3.5*

i loved this game and tbh i really didn’t mind paying to unlock the rest of the levels. that was until it only gave me around 20 more levels:( i thought maybe it was a new game and more would be coming out but disappointed to see it’s a few years old and nothing new. what a shame

### 1/5 — Finished quickly

*2023-02-10, version 1.3.5*

I didn’t mind paying for the additional puzzles, but I thought there would be more than a handful. I finished every level but one in less than an hour. What a waste! How does this game only have 24 levels?! And why did I have to pay $2 to access so few?! I guess I should have read the fine print on this one, but it’s definitely a disappointment.

### 5/5 — Educational

*2023-02-04, version 1.3.5*

I loved reading about the inspirations at the end of each level. The creator of this game is a deeply thoughtful person. It was fascinating to see small parts of the world in a different way and then learn about what I was seeing.

### 5/5 — worth a heck of a lot more

*2023-02-03, version 1.3.5*

wait. this is BRILLIANT. extremely satisfying to solve puzzles and have the concrete enjoyment of relating them back to real-world phenomena!! feels like I’m not just playing against my phone but rather against something almost…alive. will be recommending to everyone I know. thank you!!
