I just don't get it.

Maybe I'm not smart enough. It's it a game? Is it a movie where you constantly peck at the screen to make stuff happen? You basically watch things sloooowwwwwlllyy change. Not worth the price in my option.

A beautiful journey

Amazing sights and sounds that remind me of life in Southern California. I could spend hours in this virtual world. I hope we see more!!

I don't get it

So it seems that all you have to do to progress in this game is to press anything that glows. Not real hard to find. No puzzles, just keep tapping until something moves. Additionally, there are no saved games, so you either have to finish the whole thing in one sitting, or give up. I have done the latter. Not sure why this game is so highly rated…

Pointless

Absolutely nothing happens. No instructions, no advice, no way to get beyond the first screen.

Fantastic game

Really wonderful game. Lots of beautiful imagery and sounds. It's both calming and eerily looming. Would love to see a sequel.

Fantastic and mesmerizing.

The art direction is heavenly here, the mechanics perfectly simple. Every sound, every color, every movement are choreographed with sublime precision. Highly recommend this Toy, not Game. The only aspect of game here is to touch something that pulses. I would love to see this expanded into a full exploration puzzle. This is Not a complaint, it is a hope!

Gfrrrr

Stunning

Absolutely gorgeous game. Anyone in need of inspiration or an escape, this ones for you. It was a bit short (45ish minutes of gameplay) but very, very well done and enchanting.

Not a game, but a surreal experience

Immie Fan

It is short...but beautiful. It's not really a "game," but like being inside one of Carl Burton's films (check him out on Vimeo). It is exploring a series of surreal environments, where everything is familiar, but nothing is as it appears. Objects (and that's not the right word) don't "behave" the way they "should." Touch everything to see and hear differently. Islands will change your perspective of the real.

Hauntingly beautiful, but TOO SHORT!

I certainly would have given this 5 stars, but the game ended way too quickly! Whizzed thru the entire thing in less than an hour and was disappointed that there only 10 "puzzles." Then done! The so-called puzzles aren't difficult in the least, another reason I whizzed thru. I almost think this game was made with the main purpose of showing off the incredible surreal "landscapes." Monochrome foggy gray and black... sounds dull but it really is a uniquely beautiful concept. Each level keeps your interest as you wonder how it will develop. The puzzles are easy enough as to not be frustrating... in fact, the game is quite relaxing in its mesmerizing slowness (yes, fans of action / shooters might well find this slow pace annoying). Would I recommend? Yes! It is visually brilliant. Main flaw, too short --- developers, please update with more levels!
