### 2/5 — Slow

*2023-04-11, version 1.3*

Movement animation makes gameplay sluggish. Completely linear but weird difficulty curve: early puzzles are too unconstrained and then suddenly they get kinda tricky but you have no real strategy aside from trial and error. Would keep trying if the UI was snappier.

### 5/5 — Mi reseña

*2022-07-30, version 1.3*

Es un poco difícil pero me gusta mucho

### 5/5 — Please add more puzzles

*2022-05-16, version 1.3*

This is the best puzzle game I’ve ever played. It’s beautifully and thoughtfully designed and the puzzles can be challenging but aren’t impossible to solve. The full version has no ads or interruptions and is worth more than 99 cents. My only complaint is that I solved them all in a couple of days and I really want more puzzles!

### 5/5 — Unable to purchase full version

*2022-05-13, version 1.3*

I really enjoy this game and would like to be able to purchase the full version but I get an error message any time I click on the in-app link. I hope this gets resolved.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2022-04-09, version 1.3*

This is perfect. There is plenty of game for free and if you then want more puzzles you have a good idea of what you will be paying for and it is only a buck.

If you don’t like it no need to spend any money to find out. 

As to the game itself I found the puzzles simple but fun, where I have to reason a bit to figure it out. I haven’t finished it yet so maybe there will be real challenges later. If so, great, if not it is a pleasant diversion.

I thank the developer for the approach: well done

### 5/5 — More please

*2022-04-01, version 1.3*

I have completed all three seasons and need more. This is probably my favorite game currently, I love how you have to think outside the box.

### 5/5 — Beautiful and stunning

*2022-03-07, version 1.3*

I love how these come together. I eagerly went through all the free mazes in about two days, loving the challenges and stunning mosaics. When the $0.99 came up for more, it was paid instantly and I continued. 
Abrupt halt 3 levels in to Axolotl’s Path. I have been working on it now longer than all other paths combined. I have taken screenshots and practiced.  I want so badly to continue, gems or no gems, but I can’t figure it out! Is there anywhere that has hints or help?  Please and thanks!!

### 4/5 — Great

*2022-03-04, version 1.3*

I love this game and I’m only 9 and the pics you make are amazing but the only thing is it’s just a little hard but great game

### 4/5 — Via: A Most Relaxing Play

*2022-02-06, version 1.3*

I’m not a big app/game buyer but this little puzzle is GREAT! One of the few I plan to buy. Try the free games, you won’t be sorry. Thank you to the developer for making a challenging yet calm play! I really enjoy Via!  Updated Review: Still the best in my small opinion

### 5/5 — Fantastic Puzzle Game

*2022-01-03, version 1.3*

Fun to play. Not too difficult. Nice design.  Just wish there were more levels.

### 5/5 — Aaa

### 5/5 — Habe Dich lieb meine Eule

*2021-10-06, version 1.3*

Mein Geist wandert in einem Spiel .

### 5/5 — Arte

*2021-09-29, version 1.3*

Godd la interfaz es muy suave y cuidada a detalle, los puzzles te hacen pensar pero se disfruta, vale la pena lo que pagas por el si obtienes la versión completa, buen juego

### 5/5 — Catgril

### 5/5 — Enjoyable puzzle game

*2021-08-14, version 1.3*

Relaxing without buzzes and speed timers. I played all the free games and will seriously consider purchasing the game (I’m tight with money or I’d purchase in a snap!)

### 5/5 — <3

*2021-07-31, version 1.3*

Super fun non stressful and very causal yet challenging

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-07-03, version 1.3*

It is a great strategy game with easy rules, but sometimes hard puzzles. Someone complained about not being able to retry, but you can tap the place where you started and start from there. The music, the puzzles and the design are just relaxing. I couldn‘t find any negative points.

### 4/5 — Great Game...but

*2021-03-17, version 1.2.3*

Great Game, very challenging, but too short.
Please add more season.
Thanks

### 5/5 — ☺️👍 отлично

*2021-02-15, version 1.2.3*

Первое знакомство очень приятное. Визуальная составляющая на высоте, все качественно продумано и отрисовано в едином стиле, хорошо гармонирующим с игровым процессом. Эстетически игра очень приятна, мягкие тона, четкие линии. С ней просто отдыхаешь. Игровой процесс ненапряжный, но мягко так затягивает. Это игра для вечера, под бокальчик сухого, когда устал от динамики, стрельбы, гонок, квестов... Итог — прошёл несколько уровней и не раздумывая купил полную версию. Ценник ниже плинтуса. Такая жемчужинка определенно может стоить больше. Успехов разрабам!

### 5/5 — A puzzling game with a meditative effect

*2020-12-17, version 1.2.3*

### 1/5 — Fácil e chato

*2020-08-11, version 1.2.3*

Chato demais. Não tem nenhum desafio.

### 1/5 — Top game but please add retry button

*2020-07-24, version 1.2.3*

Great game with quite good puzzle element. But if you want to redo a puzzle you need to exit and then click through 2 sub menus. Please add a retry button! #plsfix

### 1/5 — Great game. But!

*2020-06-26, version 1.2.3*

I play on two devices and they don’t sync the progress. Therefore 1 star for 1990 mentality in coding architecture

### 1/5 — Tiny Font

*2020-06-18, version 1.2.3*

Could be a great game but I’ll never know because I CAN’T READ THE TEXT. 
Why cram 2 pages of tutorials info on a single screen? Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — No restaura compras

*2020-04-17, version 1.2.1*

Instalé el juego, lo probé, me gustó y lo compré. Apple me lo ha cobrado pero no se desbloquean los niveles. Le he dado a restaurar compras y me dice que no he realizado ninguna

### 1/5 — Directions

*2020-04-16, version 1.2.1*

I love the game but sometimes it can get complicated and they don’t have any help options so it can get frustrating to find the path

### 1/5 — Can’t click!

*2020-04-15, version 1.2.1*

I finish the puzzle and can’t click the end cuz I keep erasing the track instead. I dropped the game cuz I couldn’t progress.

### 1/5 — Compra

*2020-04-13, version 1.2*

He pagado los 0’99€ que pedian y no me permite avanzar, pero si me han cobrado?

### 1/5 — Tutorial / help

*2020-04-10, version 1.2*

Why I can’t access the tutorial or help at any time!!!

### 5/5 — Think outside the box

*2026-01-25, version 1.3*

What I really like about this game is that you have to think as many roots as possible. But at the same time, don’t overthink it. That’s the challenging part, at least for me. The game is enjoyable and it’s not too hard that you can’t figure it out. It’s just gonna take time and trying the different ways that are possible, which I think is excellent for problem-solving.
Only once that I really get stuck. And then I had to cheat by looking at the walk-through on YouTube.
I think you’ll find this game enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2025-08-01, version 1.3*

It is such a beautiful game. Very interesting and I can’t believe I am almost finished with it with no more paths to go. 😢

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2024-03-23, version 1.3*

This game is sooooooooooooo fun that I could play it all day long. I love the animals you create by solving the puzzle but the puzzles are really challenging. There are no ads and doesn’t require Wi-Fi! Play now!

### 5/5 — Favorite Game!

*2023-07-20*

When I found this game I was so excited to find something that is both challenging and beautifully made! I was so sad to reach the end of this game. Hoping the developer adds on more levels in the future!

### 5/5 — I Love Games Like This

*2023-03-03, version 1.3*

My favorite- Logic puzzles that you can solve at your own pace. There are no “lifes”. No in game currency.  Super reasonable price for full game. No ads. I wish there were more games like this!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent - Just great

*2023-01-28, version 1.3*

Beautiful….  Gradually increasing levels of difficulty, without ever getting too hard.  No obnoxious music; peaceful and relaxing.  I only wish the puzzles could go on and on.  Still, I got my $0.99 worth, many times over.  Highly, highly recommended.

### 5/5 — More Levels Please.

*2023-01-25, version 1.3*

Stress free puzzle pleasure. No timers, no losing lives, no building villages, no coins, no talking animals, no bombs, and no ads, with stylish graphics.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2022-12-23, version 1.3*

Fun and challenging. Some easy and some need analyzing. More easy for me because of playing Flow Free that uses path finding. Solving thousands of Flow Free paths helped prepare for this game. But VIA introduces some unique path alterations that make the game more interesting and challenging. Completed all 3 seasons. Thanks for the  game!  Any more coming?

### 5/5 — Please make more

*2022-10-10, version 1.3*

This game is a real brain twisting puzzle game. I’ve 100% the entire game a year ago and is still the greatest puzzle game for phones right now. The best way to play this is to beat one or two levels leave it alone for a day or two then play again. Gets harder when you don’t touch the game for a few days, once you get in the zone, you make perfect moves without even realizing it.

### 5/5 — Mind Boggling! So Clever ! I want more 💙

*2022-08-19, version 1.3*

I give this puzzle a solid 5 star. Probably one of the best puzzle games i ever played! This really makes you think and also quite entertaining!  You squeeze through these paths, ..and for a moment you think you beat it, you have to start right back at the beginning.. i lovee the challenge!!! 
I just beat the game for a full 💯..all gems!  and its the first time i ever completed anything a full set. And feel so proud of myself!! Wow!! To me, some of these were honestly too easy and i passed many in one single playthrough.. however…not all are exactly easy by anymeans.. i had to indure tons of fustration, sweat and one point i had to take a long break.. what an eyesore! but came back …you just have play it smart and think outside the box.. so so so sad i made it to the end because honestly im hungry for more!
