Completely Unique

This might be more of a work of art than a game, but the experience is definitely worth checking out. Bizarre, relaxing, beautiful, and completely unlike anything else on the App Store.
Terrific little wonderland!

Truly fascinating and entrancing game. It's fairly short, but the creativity and graphics are captivating. It brought back fond memories of a Myst-like experience. Bravo!
What a waste of time

A light glows and pulses. Tap it. Turn the screen. Repeat. I want a refund. Cool graphics and sounds. But there is no point nor strategy. Mind numbing. About as exciting as the movie Gerry.
Lovely

Because it is too short and there is zero challenge it gets 3 stars. Beautiful artwork but some sounds are really grating. 5 stars if it were twice as long and there was some sort of challenge.
Art, but no game.

Yes it’s beautiful, but just because it’s beautiful doesn’t make it good. No matter the “high concept” that people keep repeating, this “game” is DULL. Very short, and VERY SLOOOW. If you want to look at (only 11) pretty pictures that’s look like the screenshots, by all means, spend $3 on it. Tap the glowing lights and stuff moves. If you consider that a game, again, go for it. Otherwise I suggest saving your money. Has potential if they move away from the incessant “Tap Here!” method and actually add some puzzle/game elements to it.
I feel duped

I feel like I wasted $2.99 on something that was not actually a game. It is an interesting meditation or artistic comment on everyday spaces and items, but it is certainly not a game. The only thing a user does is tap on the flashing light and then watch the next action unfold. There is no game play. I am also colorblind. I wish this app developer would consider what an app looks like to colorblind people, because they should understand that a monochromatic green screen looks dull gray to me. Without any contrast or something interesting to look at, the scenes they painstakingly created just come across as flat to me.
What?

This is amazing but also weird. I mean, palm trees going up an escalator? Crazy! I have never seen any games better than this on the App Store. The graphics are stunning and the sound is, too. Please create more games like this! (Just one more time saying, best game on App Store!)
Confused

I wish that I had not paid for this. Is it art? Does it have a purpose? Was I supposed to be entertained? I deleted it without finishing. Not recommended.
THIS IS NOT A GAME

yes, it’s pretty. It’s not fun though. You just tap on some blinking things.
Not a Game
Konokopia
This is not a game but a somewhat surreal animation project. It is atmospheric and mysterious and sometimes pretty but it gets dull quickly. You press the screen and animation things happen, and while they happen, you can rotate 360 degrees to view them from different angles. Not very exciting and somewhat pretentious, but, again, sometimes pretty. It would be more intriguing, maybe, if touching different things would make different things happen. But as it is, this is an series of short animations that proceded only when you tap on some particular object.
