2024-07-11	St*****	Bought this game as a recommendation to follow tricky Castle. It is in fact a puzzle solving game but it's not exactly the kind of puzzle solving game I was looking for. I like when puzzles build up to difficulty and don't just throw you in without instructions to figure it out. I get it and I understand this is the premise of the game but it's just not for me. I do wish I didn't spend the $2 on it I would have rather had this as a game with ads and have the option to pay to turn the ads off.

2022-09-24	Me*****	Really enjoyed playing this game! Awesome! I like the puzzle design and though it's not terribly hard, it still is quite difficult with the higher levels. You can get the jist of the game immediately but to master it takes some time. I love games like this! Fun to play for 5 minutes or to get lost in for an hour. Even my 9 year old enjoyed playing and watching me play! Now that's a game that I can get behind. Cheers! 😊

This means that for me about a third of the game is unplayable. A proper hint system (with the logic of a device explained not just obvious mechanics of pushing a button, turning wheel etc.) or skip option is a necessity for complete playability and 5 stars. Reply: there are no buttons in level 32; just a gauge, 2 small gears and a wheel with handle.

2021-09-21	Sh*****	A little gem! Polished, imaginative and brilliant. The closest thing I've experienced to it is a beautiful old PC game called The Neverhood. If you remember and loved that, you'll love this! The ultimate aim is to 'turn it on', but you're given no guidance, and left to play and discover how things work, in a delightfully rendered, intuitive and tactile interface. There is little progression, - each level stands by itself, not dependant on knowledge or skills gained in others. Beautifully coded!

Several puzzles are base on either "Simon Says" styles puzzles where lights flash in a pattern and you have to remember the pattern or a "reset" style puzzle where you have to flip switches in a sequence or the whole puzzle resets. It's not "bad" per say, but it doesn't bring anything new either. Because of the "reset" mechanic or the timed "memory" mechanic the puzzles can get frustrating. I'd like to see a more diagnostic approach.

2020-02-11	A *****	Game is fun, with very involved and challenging puzzles. Graphics may have been advertised better than they are, but not by enough to be an issue. Seems like early renders used before being tested for most devices. Some puzzles are a little more out of the way than one would expect, but that's common with many puzzle games. Unfortunately, level 39 is nearly impossible for me with my device. Poor performance causes horrific tracking, making only a perfect run viable. No need to refund though :D

This game is full of great puzzles that are challenging without being overly frustrating, and don't hold your hand the whole way through. Also, thank you Dev for not having your game bogged down with apps ever 5 seconds ⭐👏

2019-05-08	A *****	I only have good things to say about this game. For starters, the music is wonderful. It was the first thing I noticed. And the game itself. It's simple but effective. Nothing more than a puzzle game, and it needn't be anything more. Its puzzles are logic based. It doesn't do explaining, it lets you learn for yourself, guiding you discretely but not to demean you, as if to assume you're a bit of a moron, like I've found that some games do. The levels make you think, but are not insanely difficult or nonsensical. I believe there were only one or two puzzle I solved, where I was unsure exactly what the pattern was to what I did was that resulted in my solving it. I never got stressed, I never felt mocked. It doesn't feel like a game that's trying to outsmart you, it feels like a game that wants to give you a moment to think, and a moment to relax. There were a few that I spent a considerable amount of time on, but I was determined to not look at hints, and to figure each puzzle out without growing desperate or taking an irrational approach, and that is what I did. I felt refreshed when I finished the game. I appreciate it very much, and recommend indeed.

But some of them are difficult to get three stars since it requires timing and i'm really bad at timing haha. But overall the puzzles are really creative. Nice work on the designs too! It really got a good theme!

2019-03-17	A *****	Disclosure - I got this game for free from the developer +The average puzzle feels great to solve and work through +The music, artstyle and atmosphere are perfect for the game +Many unique puzzle archetypes +Fair amount and quality of puzzles for its price. +It seems there are plans for more puzzles. -There are two or three puzzles which are too opaque or finnnicky, and the hint system only states the obvious. -Unnecessary and bad scoring system (minor point; ignore it like I did)
