Help - can’t install it
Epoi
Was working fine. Upgraded to iPhone X. Now the app doesn’t appear on the phone, or in my list of installable apps in iTunes. Apparently I can download it in iTunes, but I can’t install it on iPhone X. I also can’t install it directly onto the iPhone X. The cloud link is faded, and unclickable. The description says it’s compatible with this iPhone. Help!
Desperately needs an update

This needs an update for retina graphics & iPad resolution. This would be such a blast to play on thew newer devices with higher resolution or more space for fingers. Unfortunately, vector art with pixel doubling is so very ugly.
Awesome for a little while

This game is incredible in concept, design and gameplay.... Some of the earlier levels were very challenging although It took me all of 2 days to get to sector 15. Then I was stuck on sector 15 for a week. I felt like I was making progress but would lose the level really really fast every time. Great game I just wish the levels were a little more well balanced.
Stands up well to any classic video game

No other iPhone game has held my attention for so long. It is a simple game, but challenging and fun. It is like a living piece of art- as if Warhol and Kandinski collaborated on a game.
Happy customer

2 years of playing and I finally won! I feel like I solved the sphinx riddle. I love this game. It's the best feeling of accomplishment to finish a level. I also love that you can set it between you and a friend and work collaboratively. I am so psyched for Faraway!!!
Great game, but way too hard :(

Let me say that I do love the concept of this game, and its visual and audio styles are very well executed. But the learning curve is way too steep. Too much happens too fast and I couldn't figure out how to beat the early levels without a considerable bit of frustration. Maybe in the next update you could include an Easy mode? Please? I really want to love this game but my poor brain and fingers need to be eased into it. As it stands I gotta put this aside for a while. :(
Creative and simply stunning

... But the lack of retina graphics completely destroys the game. Please update!
