### 4/5 — Good game

*2023-10-14, version 1.2.1*

its a good game, kinda pricey tho and im not getting the achievements even tho i found all the secrets

### 4/5 — Great and Satisfying Game.. However!!

*2023-05-19, version 1.2.1*

A great game I’ve replayed and redownloaded multiple times. I have no idea if the developers are still active with the last update almost being half a decade ago 😭😭but I do hope so! Unfortunately for new players the websites for when you complete everything are broken. I forget what was on it now. 

Beyond that, just finding new forms each object can take, it has unique music and hidden aspects to every item! It leaves you guessing if there’s more to it with every discovery. The extras that happen after you invest your time into the game are worth it! I will still replay it even without the websites.

### 4/5 — Good game but too laggy

*2022-07-06, version 1.2.1*

For some reason it has a hard time calculating all the physics objects and gets really laggy, especially the hourglass. It’s even a bit laggy when it’s just one object.

### 4/5 — Changed?

*2020-06-03, version 1.2.1*

I agree w some others here, it’s become more difficult and a lot less fun. Ive reloaded the game a few times to try the update and can’t get past first two sections. I have spent too much time gently maneuvering one item —that I was able to work before, but now — get nothing.  

Perhaps they should offer an easier version for those who would otherwise get stuck and give up.

### 5/5 — awesome but needs more levels

*2020-02-01, version 1.2.1*

add more levels and itll be 6 stars

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2020-01-16, version 1.2.1*

Just wish there was more!getting it! I've played games for much longer spans of time that I can barely even remember. But I know that I will remember vignettes for a long time to come because of how unique and well done it is. I hope the developer makes more games, but if they don't I'm happy to have this gem on my phone.

### 5/5 — Make Vignette 2

*2019-11-23, version 1.2.1*

I love the game with all the stuff to do make a vignette 2 that be cool please make another one

### 4/5 — 初めは戸惑い

*2019-08-16*

ゲームを始めたばかりの時は、遊び方もルールも何が何だかさっぱり分からず。
そこで諦めてしまうか、少し我慢して続けるかでその先の世界が変わります。
とにかく最初は、分からないままに揺すったり、回したり、タップして動かすのみです。
少しずつですが、薄ーく楽しい感じになります。
未だに謎の展開に惑わされていますが…

### 5/5 — むずかしいけど、

*2019-08-12*

おもしろい。
語り部がいてここはこう、みたいなチュートリアルとか解釈、解説はないけれど、ないからこそ、
バックのストーリーとか悲しげで不気味な雰囲気だとかを考えながら味わえる。
ちょっと操作が面倒なときもあるけれど、それもまたよし。
なんか初代PSのLSDっていうゲームみたい。
ゆめにっきとか好きな人とかよさそう。

### 5/5 — Beautiful, unique puzzle game

*2019-07-20, version 1.2.1*

This game is one of a kind. It’s a short for a puzzle game, but really well polished and fun to explore. The graphics look amazing and the music is really mellow and relaxing. It’s not especially challenging, but that’s perfectly ok - it’s more about the experience and interacting with every item than the puzzle itself.  It took me about 3 hours to fully complete the game, and I think it was worth every dollar spent. 

Real games are getting to be pretty hard to find these days on the App Store, with the pay-to-win and freemium games dominating the mobile industry. I was lucky enough to find this gem and I recommend it to anyone who wants to try something new. Big thanks to the devs, I had a lot of fun exploring your game! The effort you put into the game really shows :)

### 5/5 — Best game

*2019-06-21, version 1.2.1*

This game was so satisfying to play and complete! By the end I was very involved in the “story.” The little animations really make the game so fun. Thank you for making this!

### 5/5 — 각코스기루

*2019-06-03*

간지 빵빵 내 미소도 뿜뿜 광대가 아야아야

### 5/5 — 다 깼네요

*2019-05-19*

일단 컨텐츠는 다 깬거같은데, 도전과제가 남아있긴하네요.. 아무튼 재밌게 잘 즐겼습니다. 업데이트 기다리고 있을게요!

### 5/5 — 発想の具現化

*2019-03-29*

素晴らしい。
オブジェクトの共通性を考えて
どこかインテリジェンスに浸る
ステキな時間を過ごせた。
感謝。

### 5/5 — Un jeu poétique faisant réfléchir.

*2019-03-25*

Je suis tombé amoureux de ce jeu. Il est ludique et vraiment poétique. Bref magnifique. Je recommande comme l’a fait Seb. Donc merci à lui.

### 5/5 — Update

*2019-03-07, version 1.2.0*

I loved the update, keep them coming!

### 4/5 — How was the music made?

*2019-02-27, version 1.1.1*

The game is great. I really wish I knew more about the creation of it. There’s nothing else like it. And the music is super cewl. It’s been stuck in my head recently for some reason even though I played this around 7-8 months ago.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-02-25, version 1.1.1*

Very fun and creative.

### 1/5 — Incomprehensible

*2021-05-03, version 1.2.1*

Don’t understand any of it. Just spent my time randomly tapping, waiting for something to happen. The figures would randomly spin around, sometimes leading to other, blocked figures. No instructions, no guides. Sometimes a hand would appear, indicating a tap or a swipe. Ok, I did that, now what? Nothin’. Dull.

### 1/5 — MY MOTHER DIED OF CANCER MORE QUICKLY THAN THID

*2020-01-18, version 1.2.1*

Such a pointless app.

### 1/5 — 환불

*2019-02-19*

제스타일이아니라서 ..부탁드려용

### 1/5 — Most boring game ever

*2018-09-30, version 1.1.1*

This game is so boring ! Do not buy this game and waste money. It does nothing.it does not have instructions.it is so hard.I say get rid of this game right now!

### 1/5 — Pointless, boring

*2018-07-26, version 1.1.1*

Don’t waste your money. The main challenge is working out the game system, since the designers were too lazy to explain it properly. The game itself involves turning objects in exactly the same way every single time. So it’s not actually a puzzle. Just a badly designed menu with cute images. How dare they charge $4.49 for this!

### 1/5 — Grrrrr

*2018-04-02, version 1.1.1*

Payé pour rien ca bug tout le temps

### 1/5 — Total Waste of Money (Rip Off)

*2018-01-17, version 1.1.1*

This games was a Total Disappointment!!! I can’t believe I even spent money on it now. No free test mode, no instruction menu on what to do, and no rewards for completing levels are just a few of the problems with this game. I bought it because of a high rating. I’m not sure why anyone would give it positive reviews, it only positively sucked. I’d ask for my money back if I could so I’ll settle for this 1star rating. I would have put 0 stars but it wasn’t an option 💩

### 1/5 — Refund please!

*2017-12-30, version 1.1.1*

Extremely pointless and mind numbingly boring game. I would really appreciate having my money refunded please and thank you!

### 1/5 — Bad design

*2017-12-30, version 1.1.1*

You think because it looks snazzy you can get away with this much mystery meat navigation? Get over yourselves and explain the game to new players or suffer the dreaded one star.

### 1/5 — nul,nul,nul

*2017-05-16*

apres avoir eu du mal a obtenir une version qui fonctionne sur mon ipad je viens de l'essayer. 
Pas de menu, aucune explication sur le but du jeu, une veritable deception. 
A oublier tres vite.
Note personnelle : 0/10. 
Une perte de 2,99 €
Surtout ne pas acheter !!!

### 5/5 — I love this app so much

*2025-11-25, version 1.2.1*

This is a game that is indescribable. It’s different than any game I’ve ever played. I have solved the entire game several times. I start all over and it never disappoints.

### 5/5 — Fun and Complex

*2025-10-25, version 1.2.1*

Simplistic fun, challenging and lots of secrets to discover!

### 5/5 — Worth the few dollars for so much fun

*2022-11-01, version 1.2.1*

I got this game when it came out a few years ago, but at the time I wasn’t really into these types of games so I didn’t play it and forgot about it. I just downloaded it again and I am playing it now. They did add some additional content from the original game I believe, I haven’t finished it yet, there’s still one or two areas I haven’t unlocked yet. It’s more a puzzle toy than a game per se, but it’s very fun and I love the optical element of it. I love these types of games now. I would recommend GNOG and Winding Worlds (on Apple Arcade)

### 5/5 — bug

*2022-01-03, version 1.2.1*

The snake with the trumpet dosent work for some reason. It’s not registering the correct code. This game was last updated 2 years ago pls update and fix this bug. Other than that this is a great game 5/5 stars.

### 5/5 — めちゃくちゃおもしろい！

*2021-12-23*

最初やり方がわからず戸惑いましたが、アプリ紹介動画を見返し、電話を動かしてみたら変化が…！なるほどなるほどと、コツが分かったら次はどこで変化が起きるのか？とわくわくさせられて、次々楽しんでいます。
なかなか分からないものもあり、頭の中を柔軟にしなければ…おもしろいです！
最後までできるよう楽しんで続けていきます！！

### 5/5 — The voodo doll glitch

*2021-03-30, version 1.2.1*

The voodoo doll won’t turn back into the mortar and pestle at all ever. My phone vibrates as if it is going to change back but it doesn’t change

### 5/5 — Delightful

*2020-09-28, version 1.2.1*

A rare game that feels truly different and original.

### 5/5 — GREAT GAME

### 5/5 — Wow

*2020-03-25, version 1.2.1*

Otherworldly. Among the most inventive and unique experiences on iOS!

### 5/5 — AMAZING! Please add more

*2020-03-21, version 1.2.1*
