Great fun until 3D mode keep kicks in

Nactishe

About 30 minutes into this game, it switches to 3D mode, which requires you to manipulate the mechanics in a z-plane. Problem is, the in game instructions suggests you to pause the game and consult the further instructions. Sadly, after pausing, no further instructions are given. So after frustratingly trying to figure out the 3D mode, I eventually gave up. It's a shame because up until that point I really enjoyed the game. Now it's unplayable...

Excellent, challenging

Sir appalot

Really enjoying the 3D aspect of this game, adds a lot more complexity (and time investment) in each level. If you play many iPad games it's not too hard to figure out the two fingers/one finger/pinch controls, even without instructions. Just don't be stupid and not save your game at the beginning like I did. :-P

Simply the best

Creative and challenging. Enigma 1 was the first game I ever had and so glad they came out with #2. And upped their game!

Great idea, awful controls

you have to place points in 3D space intersecting straight lines. You will spend hours placing your points from one perspective, then awkwardly rotating the entire scene to try and place it yet again in the z dimension. The controls are awful and frustrating, completely eclipsing the puzzle aspect. In essence, the puzzle is in working the controls. Boo.

no way to mute sound effects

a game with annoying sound effects and no way to mute them in game would be okay if, say, mobile game players didn't listen to podcasts while they played games or have audio shows from youtube. sadly it is 2016 and not 2009. one star because even if the game is great, it forces its audio fx on you for no reason. two dollars isn't worth it to me for forced audio. terrible design.

I have owned both versions of Enigma. Enigma has very interesting and challenging levels; and a much improved sense of spatiality. Both versions of the game will have you stretching your horizons and spatial problem solving skills. If you have version 1, version 2 won't disappoint.

Most underrated game ever-my Favorite game!

...PLEASE release more levels!!! I finished this glorious game in days and am dying to play new levels! Because of this, I have to concur with the earlier comment of experiencing much more immersive gameplay with the original game. (Even though I have the same level-pack complaint with the original ("kids-levels?!?!!!,") the other custom levels gave me many more hours of enjoyment than the small number of levels in this game.) That said, this is bar-none the best game I have played and most likely will ever play on the iPhone. It is ingenious, challenging, rewarding, immersive, beautiful (right down to the planets and magestic score)...I cannot give it enough superlatives Be wary though - this game is for problem-solving lovers. I even think it can be considered a form of an IQ test. I am a software engineer. It has not comeup yet, but I would certainly ask a prospective employee if they played this game and beat it. Yes the 3D controls have a learning curve, but once mastered they ingeniously solve the logistical placement issues as best as can be imagined... thus once learned, 95% of the time is then spent on solving the puzzles themselves. Final Note-they picked the *worst* level as the "first true 3D level." I went about it all wrong and was about to throw the iPhone against the wall twisting sliders into barrels! ....Use the accelerator panels at the far back (which have never been introduced prior to this level!) and do NOT cross paths on the two parallel droplet paths! After finding this out, I never had any similar problems all the way to end.

Old-Timer Review

I've played Enigmo 2 for years on the computer. I recently found it was available for IOS. I purchased the game for $2 and tried it out. It does the original computer version justice! I look forward to getting as much out of this version as the computer version. Excellent game!

Ageless

Not worth -6.99

I remember playing this back when the iPhone 3GS was still the latest iPhone. I loved it. But I never beat it and after upgrades I wanted it back. So years later I have now bought it's HD version for my ipad with retina display. For how old this game is, it blows me away. It has gorgeous graphics and it's physics engine is fantastic. It was made years ago and to this day it still looks like it's new because of how well done the game is. I'm so glad I have this on my ipad now. I sorely missed playing it. It's a great relaxing game and is my favorite game on the App Store. I think this game is ageless and will always be an amazing and great game to play. My only complaint is that the laser sound effects take away from the beautiful relaxing soundtrack music. This is also the ONLY game from the App Store that I have ever played that doesn't have glitches. Simply put, AMAZING! Update: The controls work fine and are easy to use. I don't see how many people have problems with the 3D interface. It's really not that complicated. It takes some getting used to but that's it. People just have no patience it seems. I have beaten all the levels and played through the entire game many times at this point and I still absolutely love it. My favorite phone game ever and probably the only phone game I will ever feel nostalgic about.

Great puzzle game

This game is a lot of fun. It might take a bit of effort and practice to get some of the pieces lined up properly, but I think that this game was very well done.
