Not 868-Hack, but good
Uncoolcentral
My least favorite of the three MBrough games I've played. 868 > zaga > this one So this is an endorsement, but not overly enthusiastic. … Still better than 80% of iOS games out there. Yo Mike - update Zaga for 64bit ios11, please!

This game has gorgeous, melancholy sound and a tightly woven net of unforeseen, self-inflicted disaster waiting for you. Impossible, clever, messy, brutish, and heartbreaking. RIYL committing terrible crimes.
Mind-blowing

This isn't the prettiest game, and the first couple of minutes might make you think you're playing a regular Soko-ban style game. But bear with it, it takes a turn that makes it one of the most amazing games of the year.
Game is fun when it doesn't crash on loading screen.

This game has some deliciously clever puzzles, and decent soundtrack. Unfortunately, it also crashes 90% of the time in the loading screen. This is on an iPhone 4. Hopefully this will get fixed in future updates.
Buyer beware

Keeps crashing on load screen... Couldn't say whether there is a good game behind it. ITouch 4G
A Little Masterpiece
Frank Lantz, New York City
Corrypt is a brilliant game. It is small scale, you can finish it in a day, but it is densely packed with ideas and challenges and mind-altering epiphanies. Corrypt starts out as a simple puzzle game, a set of Sokoban logic mazes wrapped in a light Zelda-esque adventure theme. But as this game unfolds, it playfully twists this structure in a way that must be played to be understood. Suffice to say, you can place Corrypt alongside Portal and Braid as a game which achieves great effects by experimenting with the fundamentals of its structure. Corrypt is difficult in both senses of the word. It's difficult like a Rubik's Cube and it's difficult like noise music, avant garde cinema, or modernist literature. It is unconventional and uncompromising, but it is also personal and warm, the carefully crafted work of a single individual, and I found it strangely haunting. Buy it. Play it. When you get stuck, put it away. Let it sit in your pocket, and in your head. Come back to it later and play some more. Eventually it will reveal its secrets to you, I promise. This small game, with its rough edges and its cryptic, self-consuming topography, is beautiful and important, and will repay the attention you give it a thousandfold.

This is my third favorite Michael Brough game so far, after Glitch Tank and vesper.5. Corrypt is a surreal world to explore, it heats the imagination and that part of you that traces geometric figures in sand, water, on tables, etc.
Challenging, but solvable

You don't have to be a genius to solve this game, but you do have to learn some techniques you've never used before. It's really great to play something that has a unique twist that no one has done before.
Terrific!

One of the best, and weirdest, puzzle games ever. It's a hard game, but well worth the effort. Once I got to the topsy turvy part I was mesmerized for an hour or two and just could not put it down until I completed it.

I saw a review of Michael Brough's games on tumblr and I had to check them out. I'm a huge fan of Sokoban style games and "Adventures of Lolo" in specific. "Corrypt" takes the Sokoban template and twists it to strange and almost disturbing degrees. Great game at any price, but $1.99 is nice too. :)
