Such as multiple solutions for a puzzle. in two levels so far i have come up with a correct solution for a puzzle, only to have it not register because it wasn’t set up a specific way. it was insanely frustrating to come up with 4 other solutions that also wouldn’t work! aside from that though, it’s a brilliant game ### 4/5 — I love this game *2021-04-18, version 1.1* I love this puzzle game. I was having so much fun until the gear level. It seems like a bunch of people get stuck there. I’ve followed other people’s exact moves to try and move past but it doesn’t work on my end. I’m considering deleting the app because I’ve been stuck so long and there is no help to be found. 🥺 ### 4/5 — Fun, but challenging *2020-07-28, version 1.0.5* This game is beautiful and fun to play. If you’re looking for a challenge and enjoying sliding tile puzzles, this is the game for you. However, starting at around level 15, the puzzles get extremely difficult. Had to look up a solution online and even then it was tough. It would be nice to have a hint button. Not sure how that would work exactly but it would be appreciated. ### 4/5 — Good but not interesting enough for me to finish! *2020-06-14, version 1.0.5* This game is the one I wanted! As soon as I downloaded it yesterday, It turned out not as I thought. The levels are very challenging to complete. I wish there were something more easy levels to get through the gameplay. ### 3/5 — Neat game but... *2020-05-21, version 1.0.5* This game has potential to keep you entertained solving puzzles. After about 40 minutes of play I encountered a bug that prevented me from continuing the game. When you solve a path the game blinks and locks all the tiles to the solution. If the path includes a hole then the game treats the configuration as a solution even if the hole does not have a spiderweb. If the hole without a spiderweb is in the path between you and the exit the game thinks the path is solved and you can no longer move any tiles. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for playing and for your kind feedback and explaining the bug. We will try to fix it as soon as possible. ### 4/5 — Intriguing *2020-05-21, version 1.0.5* I am really enjoying this game. I find the puzzles challenging and the story intriguing because the silent characters make you wonder what they are about. I do wish there was a bit more help to try and solve each level. I am stuck on 12. I just can’t seem to find the right pattern. ### 4/5 — Great concept, execution; too hard *2020-04-06, version 1.0.1* This is a very well conceived and executed game. Nice graphics as well. Personally I find the levels too difficult starting at around 14. I wish the game had a hint system so I wasn’t forced to google walkthroughs. I’ll keep at it though. ### 3/5 — Frustrating and far from relaxing *2020-04-02, version 1.0.1* I don’t understand why there are no instructions and above all no way to save your progress within a level. Perhaps consider adding this feature?? ### 4/5 — Only one problem *2020-03-25, version 1.0.1* It’s super hard it’s fun and I quiet enjoy it but it’s definitely not like a beginners game. I have played many of these like puzzle type games and this one is super challenging. Still it’s got great story and it keeps me entertained. It’s just not GROUND breaking. They make these games to be so cool and new but they are pretty basic. Still fun though I’m gonna keep playing. ### 4/5 — Right amount of challenge *2020-02-25, version 1.0.1* I really like this game. Graphics are beautiful, puzzles are enjoyable, and it’s the right amount of challenge to get you frustrated, but want to keep playing. I will say that the swipe motion to move the tiles can be a little sticky, but not a big deal. ### 3/5 — Support/ Developers know about the glitch in higher level... *2020-02-14, version 1.0.1* Ive had hundreds of apps over the years on my various iPhones but this is the only app I’ve ever had that has a known glitch that prevents people from progressing beyond a certain level and yet they do nothing to fix it or offer support so people can get past the problem and continue on in the game. I’ve tried contacting support more then once but they don’t respond. Why can’t you just fix the game or take it out of the App Store? **Developer response:** We are very sorry to hear this and thx for the feedback! Can you please tell us what level you had the problem? All the glithes should be fixed but maybe something slipped through. ### 3/5 — Beautiful and challenging but missing the mark on a few things. *2019-11-30, version 1.0.1* There is no real explanation on what each feature under settings is for like “Rabbits On” I have no idea what it does or means and switching it on and off seems pointless as I can’t see a difference in anything. I wish there was a save feature inside the levels, for example I’m stuck on a gear level and end up having to walk away and it would be nice to come back and not have to start said level over. Also a hint feature or a skip level feature would be good. I’ve been on this one particular level for days and find it rather annoying that I can do anything but keep messing around and hope I get it figured out. ### 4/5 — Fun and tough *2019-11-22, version 1.0.1* I really like this game. Makes you think and work through the puzzles making an effort. I like the challenge. Unfortunately I have come to a plateau where I have not been able to advance. I’ve lost track of how many attempts I’ve tried and have pretty much gave up hope of advancing farther. I can see what needs to be done but can’t wrap my mind around how to do it. Great game but be prepared to do a lot of thinking and put some time in! **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for giving the game a go! We are really glad that you liked it. The levels get quite difficult but maybe after a break of a few days you can try to tackle the puzzles with fresh ideas. It usually works for us! Anyway thanks for playing! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Got frustrating VERY fast *2019-12-08, version 1.0.1* This has got to be one of the most infuriating games I’ve ever played. I fell in love with it quickly but that faded just as fast. The levels with the gears (levels 13-17) need to be simplified or something. You think you have the path correct but it doesn’t light up because you have to also match up all the gears at the same time which makes it da near impossible to solve. I’ve been stuck on level 15 literally all day trying to solve it. How this game is in the BEGINNER section of Arcade is completely asinine. Give us hints, simplify the levels, do SOMETHING! But do not call this a “relaxing game” in your description. It’s almost like you are trolling everyone. Clearly there are lots of complaints in the reviews here on how purely frustrating levels are which means it’s poor design. So stop with the excuses of come back to it , etc etc. Design the levels better or give hints. ### 1/5 — Are the other reviewers playing the same game I am? *2019-09-25, version 1.0* I read the other reviews of this game and can’t help but wondering if they’re playing the same game I am. The graphics and camera angles really ruin any potential good there might be in this game. After about the third or fourth level, the screen gets so dark and the camera angle over the way you need to go is so obtuse, you can’t really see what you need to do, so you might as well try playing it blindfolded. Add in less-than-intuitive controls and this game becomes one worth deleting. ### 2/5 — Impossible to play *2021-07-12, version 1.1* This game is impossible to play on Apple TV there seems to be some sort of glitch within the actual game play as my swipes do not register to move a block up but register for left, right, & down. ### 2/5 — Beautiful but bug *2021-06-17, version 1.1* It’s such a beautifully rendered artistic game that’s both challenging and soothing. I find myself in a meditative state as I’m solving the puzzle levels. HOWEVER, I cannot complete level 5 due to a freeze bug. The game totally freezes when I get to the last tile before landing on the bank/end of puzzle. I’ve forced restart multiple times and keep getting frozen out at the same spot each time. I hope this is fixed soon. I will amend my review if/when that happens. ### 2/5 — I tried *2019-10-24, version 1.0.1* I really tried to like this game. I like the motif.. it puts you into a relaxing world. But I could use some instruction. If you tap the trees they bounce around and sprout flowers. Is this a goal? Does this somehow advance the objective? Is there points for doing that? Or is that feature just pointless? What are the rabbits for? You can turn rabbits off or on in the settings. But what’s the point? In level one you can make it rain on flowers and they grow. Is that what I’m supposed to be doing? Is that the goal? Or is that a pointless feature? Is there some sort of story line here? Is there a back story or mission to achieve? Or is this just one puzzle after the other? If that’s the case then fine but what’s all the other stuff. Some games are satisfying to play because you get the idea clearly and you feel accomplished. With this game it’s the opposite. I feel confused and irritated which is unfortunate because I love being in the peaceful environment. ### 2/5 — Beautiful like Monument Valley *2019-09-23, version 1.0* UPDATE: I accidentally reset all my game progress because I thought the button in settings was to reset the current map only. DO NOT press the reset button! But sadly, the mechanics are not up to par and become frustrating to work with. I enjoy spending time on puzzles but not the way this is with the mechanics in place. Perhaps just keep it classic slider next time ### 3/5 — No auto-save?? *2023-01-01, version 2.0* I would really enjoy this game more if it would save my progress DURING a level. It’s so frustrating to have a puzzle nearly solved and then switch to Messages to read a text or set the phone down to do something else and then go back into the app (from open apps, not even home screens) and have it go back to the title screen and have to start the level from scratch. UGHHHH. Please fix it! ### 3/5 — Beautiful graphics, but game too hard after halfway point *2022-05-02, version 1.1* The visuals are so beautiful that they make me feel I am in another world. The gameplay is fun for the first 11 to 12 levels, but after that, the puzzles become so confusing that most mid to endgame levels take forever to complete without a walkthrough. The last two levels even have so much randomness that prevents you from being able to use a walkthrough. I wasted 3 hours trying to complete two frustratingly difficult levels (13 and 24) on my own and am yet to complete level 24 as of this writing. ### 3/5 — Beautiful graphics but buggy *2021-08-18, version 1.1* I really find this game stunning, but it keeps freezing in the middle of a puzzle. Plus I had completed several puzzles on a level and had to stop. When I came back it had not saved and I had to go through the previous puzzles again. Very frustrating. And disappointing. ### 3/5 — Maddeningly difficult *2020-08-09, version 1.0.5* Was thoroughly enjoying this game until the levels with the gears. It goes to a place where it just isn’t fun anymore. With the amount of hours I’ve sank into these levels alone, getting nowhere, I could have been doing something else. If they could’ve made this game 10% less difficult I think it would still be challenging but not impossible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Aesthetically pleasing puzzle *2022-12-07, version 2.0* I love games where I can enjoy someones effort to make it look lovely. Puzzles are sometimes hard and it’s very challenging while at the same time looking effortlessly beutiful. ### 5/5 — Really fun! *2022-04-09, version 1.1* I usually don't like sliding puzzles very much but this one is more approachable than most! Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Best puzzle game yet! *2020-12-14, version 1.0.5* I love a good puzzle game, but am usually disappointed as many puzzle games are far too simple and easy to solve. This game was absolutely FANTASTIC. It starts off very simple but really amps it up as you go! This game pushed my brain to the limits! Not many games can do that for me. I am proud to say that I was able to beat this game all on my own, but I’d be lying if I said that some of those levels weren’t doozies. (Looking at you, tricolored lazer level) If you’re looking for something to really put your brain to work, this game delivers! ### 5/5 — Beautiful puzzle game *2020-10-09, version 1.0.5* Love the graphics and the feeling of enchantment. I love puzzle games. Would love some variation in the puzzles. I like that there’s no hint button lol but also wish there was one... but better not to have one. Love the game! Hope there are lots of levels! ### 5/5 — No game controller compatibility on Apple TV! *2020-09-27, version 1.0.5* I really like the game, but no game controller support on Apple TV. I don’t get this logic. I have Steelseries Nimbus+ (which is not working at all) Game recommends apple tv remote as controller, but that is very poor in controlling. Such a great game became a real pain on Apple TV. ### 5/5 — Great game but I’m stuck! *2020-09-25, version 1.0.5* I love this game, it’s so fun and challenging...a little too challenging haha. I’m stuck!! I’d love some help, please! I’m the level where the mechanics have to match the path. The second challenge on that level, I believe. Tried to find level titles but to no avail. ### 5/5 — Simply 5 - Thank you *2020-04-26, version 1.0.1* Provides a sense of adventure and problem solving in a very cute and beautiful package. This game has zero sense of urgency and is relaxing. 6 Stars for being able to tap random things like trees and mushrooms and make them sparkle with life which has no purpose other than to make you happy. ### 5/5 — I’m stuck on level 12 *2020-02-22, version 1.0.1* This game is so nice and beautiful! It’s really nice to play, but I am stuck on level 12, and I can’t seem to figure it out. Can someone help me? ### 5/5 — Wish I could pass level 15 *2019-12-06, version 1.0.1* Beautiful game and sounds, but I’m stuck at level 15 it’s frustrating I’m beginning think of deleting app itself ### 5/5 — Path Does Not Light *2019-11-26, version 1.0.1* I am at the puzzle with the lever that flips the gears over to reveal the lighted path. The tiles are arranged so that the path is connected (can be done two ways) but the path does not light and the robot does not walk. Am I missing another step. I swipe my finger every which way to see what is there. * Thank you. I did eventually figure that out. Challenging. **Developer response:** Thx for playing this far! Basically you have to solve the path and the gears (both sides of the puzzle) in a way that the big gear at the end is working this will light up the path if it is solved correctly and the robot will move along. I hope this explanation helps. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
