Great experience!

I love the music, graphics, and story of this, but it’s too short for 2 bucks. Would love to see a new update to this such as an alternative ending, online multiplayer, new levels, etc. The final level is pretty challenging which I find it fun to play. I like to replay this entire game multiple times even though I could finish it in 1 hour or so. Customising the color of the 2 stars would also be a nice addition to the game
Maybe some more updates for more chapters?

I’ve been wanting to try this game for a long time and I finally got it. I really liked the in game settings and the music that goes well with the plot. The last chapter of the game is what really got me. It’s kind of a sad game but also relax at the same time. The only thing that I wish for is for you guys to develop more chapters and make some new updates in the game so that we are not just stuck with the same contents, this could help others be interested too. Thank you.
Beautiful

Just wow. I can’t really put into words the message this game imparted on me. The interaction between the two “beings” says it all without a word being said. One cannot fly without the other, if one falls the other comes back, the interaction between the two was brilliant. Just absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. I cried. That’s all that really needs to be said.
Work of art

I bought this game because of Tate 66 Whoop’s review. And wow, I am glad I did. That review basically says it all. Each of us will have a different view on the journey this gem of an app brings us. Leading and being led, to closeness and synchronization. Relaxing and slow to frustrating to powerful and strength and determination. This was my journey. I hope I can take another journey with these wonderful developers.
Art

This game is art. All around, it's a work of art. The music, the visual aspects, the ability to tell a story without words. The amount of deep stuff it made me feel and think about... I don't know if half the messages were meant to be in the game or if I just came up with them because of it, and that just makes the game even better. And two player is incredible. Playing this with someone you care about (for me, my girlfriend), makes you feel really really close to them on a very deep level. It's a great way to relate to someone. I rarely come across a game I can call art. This definitely counts and I'm telling everyone I know about it.
Beautiful but short

Even with it taking quite some time to actually figure out the controls finished this game in less than 30 minutes. Needs to be a bit longer to be worth the price.
Stunningly Emotional

I was pulled into this game by the lovely graphics and interesting concept. But even from the very start of playing, I knew it would be something bigger than any normal game. I don't understand how you can become so emotionally attached to something within a game like you do with this one- even more impressive is the way it's done without words. It's not a long game, but I've replayed it three times now because I can't seem to let go of how incredible it is. I was mesmerized the entire time I played. I loved the subtle messages within each section of the game. Every time I played, I noticed smaller and smaller details- each of which added to the meaning and emotional connection. Paired with the captivating music and immersion visuals, this game has everything I could ever imagine looking for in a game. And that music- wow. Simply wow. It added another level of depth to the game and is used so masterfully. Never before has a game made me smile or cry the way this one did. When I reached the end, I was shocked by how emotional it was. It made me really think, not about the game itself, but about my own life and my own experiences. Overall, Gemini is a stunningly emotional experience, and has by far made it to the very top of my list of favorite games. It's message will stay with me, and I'll never forget that first time playing through.
Very, very Creative

I didn't get it at first but once I was guided by my "partner", it became real. While the story is somewhat short, it was enjoyable and a break from all of the other genres. I give it 5 stars for creativity along with beautiful graphics and an excellent soundtrack. Well worth the few dollars. Play it in the dark in bed with some good headphones.
