### 3/5 — What’s going on?

*2025-07-07*

I played the first two levels of this game, and I still have no idea what is happening.  Is there a story?  Who are these people?  What is going on?
I just tap randomly in the places the game wants me to, but I’ve no idea why the tap did something or how it moves the story forward.
Did I just solve a puzzle?  Really?  What was it?
From what I can tell, there’s neither game nor story to be found.  Pity, as it looks like a lot of work has gone into this.
I guess I’ll find something else to play.

### 5/5 — Touching story with a lovely aesthetic

*2024-07-13, version 1.3.1*

This was a very beautifully designed game following the bittersweet journey of two friends. With straightforward mechanics and a few smart puzzles, I would highly recommend playing this to anyone looking to relax in the evenings.

### 3/5 — HONEST REVIEW

*2024-07-12, version 1.3.1*

The game boasts stunning visuals and captivating sound design, offering a pleasant playing experience. However, the puzzle element falls short in complexity, with straightforward solutions that may not challenge seasoned players. If you seek a laid-back gaming session, this title is ideal. Yet, for those craving intricate puzzles to engage the mind, this game will not meet expectations.

### 5/5 — 5/5⭐️

*2024-07-06, version 1.3.1*

This game is a really good game really entertaining and is overall good if I could I would rate it 10/5⭐️

### 5/5 — ✨

*2024-06-17, version 1.3.1*

It’s so good! This game is a very calming game, but it still causes you to have to think to solve the levels. Great for a break or smthn. Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2024-06-10, version 1.3.1*

I’m not into puzzle type games but this is 1 I recommend playing. It’s soothing for the mind and makes you think. Shoutout to the devs for this masterpiece.

### 5/5 — What a great game!

*2024-05-25, version 1.3.1*

Such a wonderful game! I loved the puzzles, not too hard but still made me think and wonder the whole time. Amazing art style that was so captivating. Very, very fun and I wish I had so many more levels to go through! Great work, game creators!

### 5/5 — 精致的游戏

*2024-04-06, version 1.3.1*

各方面都很精致的游戏。画面精致，音效精致，最主要的玩法也很精致。时间回溯搭配场景互动衍生出很多不同的玩法，值得一玩。

### 5/5 — Time-mangling puzzler with rich storyline, visuals & sound

*2024-03-27, version 1.3.1*

I love this game, from the splash screen to the finale. It is a time-mangling puzzle game with a rich and evocative storyline and gorgeous stylised visuals. The music, sound textures and time-ripple visual FX all add to the experience. I found it reminiscent of the Monument Valley games in its feel, although of course the mechanics are very different. It is well-balanced in making each level a challenge.

### 4/5 — Major glitch

*2024-02-01, version 1.3.1*

### 5/5 — Breathtaking

*2023-10-18, version 1.3*

One of my favorite games I’ve ever played. The opportunity to move time is genius and is tricky at times to figure things out.  Loved the storyline. I didn’t want it to end…

### 4/5 — Great game but please fix the controller compatibility

*2023-09-29*

Amazing game but every time i run it up while my controller is connected it ends up crashing, and mind I remind that it says this app os controller compatible but yet crashes every time.

### 1/5 — Your game

*2025-02-28*

Your game is so challenging. If this is for a four year old or three years old, you guys are like weirdos and challenging people to get smarter but they have school and preschool so they can do it by their selves and their teachers and I am an 8 1/2 year-old in third grade and I am old in third grade so I can’t even solve this so I think you guys need to delete this game because it is way too challenging and that’s why I gave it a one star rating if I could, I would rate it a zero star 0.0 like. 1 million times of zero because your game is so challenging I can’t even do it. I don’t even wanna play anymore so thanks for making me feel so challenge for the rest of the week.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2023-02-16, version 1.3*

I downloaded cause it looked like an interactive game and the graphics look amazing but you just sit there and walk up hills over and over again while collecting little balls of light. I suggest to find a better game worth your time, cause this is not it.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Boring

*2023-01-19, version 1.3*

### 1/5 — Game crashes all the time

*2023-01-12, version 1.3*

This game has been crashing over and over after the first scene. I have downloaded and un downloaded it so many times it has no update in the App Store and I even tried using different saving slots and it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-12-30, version 1.3*

*2024-11-27*

A soothing atmosphere and imaginative artwork with just the right amount of challenge make this a compelling game to play.  However, I'm trying to go back and get some missing achievements and at least the ones in the main chapter animations don't seem to unlock.

### 5/5 — Think hard

*2024-10-19, version 1.3.1*

It’s helps work your brain muscles
