When The Corporation causes all the suns to go out, a small boy named Inco and his strange friend, Helios, go on a galaxy-spanning quest to light the skies once more.
As they explore the planets they discover Grapples, Jetpacks, Teleports, Gravity Beams and other strange machines.
With its atmospheric ambient soundtrack and striking visuals, Incoboto is a moody, challenging, adventure-puzzler in the spirit of Portal and Ico.

Wish I Could Give 100 Stars

This is a very well-designed app that is as artful as it is hard to put down. The puzzles are a perfect time killer for when I have a few minutes to kill, although I would think some of them are much too difficult for children. The ambient music, gloomy story, and witty remarks really pull you in. Admittedly, the touchscreen controls need improvement. Once I switched to the Onscreen controls (directional and jump buttons), the game became much more enjoyable. After collecting all 100 stars and 50 star charts, I can definitely say I'm a fan of Incoboto.
Amazing!

I only have about 40 star-pieces but I'll tell you what I think so far! Great puzzles and storyline! Graphics could be better (but their still great). Like said thousands of other times controls could be better, but I don't see all of the fuss on the jumping. It just adds some extra challenge to the game! This game is my favorite types of games in general, puzzle/adventure, so of course I love it!
Beautiful. Too hard.

I'd love to play this more but it's just too hard. I'm not spending more than 10 minutes on perfecting the timing of switches and jump on a touch screen interface. Beautiful though, with an interesting story so far.
Amazingly cute

Enjoyed playing this one. I hope when i get to the higher level, i wouldnt get overbored....
Infuriating Controls
CheruBen
Could be a lot better if the game was created with a better control interface. As mentioned by other critical reviews, it’s very hard to jump or grab objects on command while also trying to run quickly since often challenges are time-sensitive. Please give alternate controls for a game with this time-sensitivity. Should have tested these controls with users of various skills on an iPhone before releasing. Bet this would have been caught before release. Otherwise, the game is interesting and fun. Not the best I’ve played, but unique and well-above par otherwise. I just want to pull my hair out with these counter-intuitive/non-responsive controls.
A lot of potential but controls are inherently flawed

I really enjoyed the character design and premise of the game. However, the controls are hinky and non-responsive. The placement is very vague and there's no set spot that indicates jump. It's all relative to where you set your finger down. Also. Simply tapping causes you to jump. This causes problems in certain areas where you're trying to pick up something to throw. I enjoyed the puzzles, but the controls make several of them too difficult to accomplish because when I tapped to pick up a rock, inco would jump which would throw my timing off and boom. Puzzle blown. There are also one or two spots where you're so small and close to the bottom of the screen that it kept pulling up my phone menu which interfered with seeing what I was doing. Fun game. Fun concept. Terrible execution of controls. I'm ready to delete it from my phone.
Twitter access

Why are you requesting access to my twitter accounts? It's a game. Absolutely no reason. Talk about shady. Not a very welcoming thing to see when first launching.
Amazing Game!

Yes, the controls get annoying sometimes, but it adds to the difficulty! I beat it in a day, so it could be a little longer, but it's still super fun.
