### 2/5 — This game is awesome except…

*2026-03-07, version 1.20*

I really like this game but on the Vision Pro the rotate application icon doesn’t appear. Please update it so it can be enjoyed on the AVP. That or make an AVP immersion version and be the extraordinary gaming company I know you can be.

### 5/5 — I have come back 10 years to write this

*2024-11-21, version 1.20*

During my childhood I downloaded this game. I found it difficult since I was young but it the only game that I can look back on with such good memories even 10 years later. Truly a masterpiece of a mobile game. You don’t find games like this any more on mobile hopefully you guys release something similar in my life time. Thank you so much truly.

### 3/5 — I really want to play this again, but…

*2023-08-19, version 1.18*

It doesn’t work on iPhone.  Or it does, but in order to have the graphics look right you have to turn your phone vertical and then lay it flat on a table or something, otherwise the graphics are too large and stretched out.

### 2/5 — Overrated

*2023-06-18, version 1.18*

I enjoyed the humor and the music was great, but that was it. I’ve stuck it out for a lot of slow paced games, including a few point and click games, but this was just so boring. 

I played past session two against the Trigon. The thought of facing two more of them would have driven me insane. A full minute just to power up. Combat was different, but ultimately just timing. Puzzles were mostly guess and check until you can figure out what can and cannot be manipulated

### 4/5 — I **REALLY** want to play this again but…

*2023-02-02, version 1.18*

It doesn’t work right on my phone past the opening title screen 😿 iPhone 14 pro plus. Please, please 🙏🏻 give an update? ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone 11 Pro Max iOS 16

*2022-10-15, version 1.18*

Please fix

### 3/5 — Mon jeux est en japonais?

*2021-04-27*

Ca fait plusieurs quelque mois que je ne peux plus jouer a ce jeux en anglais, je ne sais pas comment remettre la langue, car il se trouve actuellement en japonais

### 5/5 — Пиксель Арт ОБАЛДЕННЫЙ

*2021-03-25*

Это самый лучший пиксельная игра которую я видел!)

### 5/5 — Probably best game ever on iOS

*2021-02-22, version 1.16*

I loved this game. From the strange cigar smoking man, crazy geometric magic, the awesome soundtrack and the aesthetics and the mood. This game remains years after playing it, one of my all-time favorites.
Wish there’d come a sequel or something of a similar vein from the same guys behind this title
Great work!!

### 5/5 — One of thee best games iv played

*2021-02-12, version 1.16*

The artistic style fun retro pixle style and fun little interactive elements that help you puzzle your way through this game is unique and leaves a lasting impression. 
Cannot wait for many more games from these developers! 
And you know its good when you panic when the bad guy runs after you! 
The story and atmosphere are just transporting!
