Eats battery, heats up phone, and not too challenging

I expected way more for purchasing this game, especially since it won Editor’s Choice. It looks and sounds fancy, but anyone can beat the game. I’m not even that good at puzzles and I beat it. I was expecting to get stuck and play a level over and over then finally beat it by chance after a day or so but that didn’t happen. An earlier review mentioned it, but I’ll say it too: the game is easily beatable because all you have to do is fail at an attempt to capture a key part, then the board resets with your current progress of collecting keys. For me, this isn’t an app I’d open over and over again. And I agree with the other reviews, your battery will drain fast with this game and your phone will heat up. Bottom line: If you’re looking for puzzles with good graphics and interesting music, purchase this app. 3 stars for awesome graphics. ??

Time: 3 days (1 to 2 hours per day) Price: $1.99 (sale) When I finished this game, the first question which came to mind was: why isn’t it more popular? The second question: why are people complaining about the best parts? The game is a match three where you have to match the color of the key tile with two tiles of the same color. With each level, a new mechanic is added, keeping things always refreshing. I never thought the game was getting bland. I bought this as something to reduce stress and it nailed that perfectly. If you cannot play this game with music on (preferably with headphones), I’m more hesitant to recommend it. You have to listen to the music to be immersed. The soundtrack is a huge part of the game. There weren’t many levels, but each level had a substantial amount of gameplay. Now for things to improve upon: The story was vague. I did not understand what was going on. One bug where the circle piece froze in mid animation so there was a circle in the middle of my screen and it already moved on to the next section. It only occurred once. Another bug is that the skip animation is glitchy. Music won’t play sometimes. I don’t think it’s quite worth $3.99. However, I DO think it’s worth purchasing because the developers seem very dedicated to their game. There’s an update planned with more levels. Support these kinds of developers, who continue to expand their games after the initial release. They go beyond small bug fixes. Please don’t make chapter 2 an in app purchase.
Cool atmosphere

I am in love with the graphics of this game. The atmosphere, the music & the story, they all rhyme with one another.
Beautiful, engaging
Bit Crumb Trail
The visuals between levels are quite lovely. The game isn't as challenging as Monument Valley but it is fun. Well worth the $2 on sale. The app is a battery hog, and I hope future versions will improve on that.
Okay

It is a super swell 3s game but it would’ve been better if they’d left out the fancy cut scenes, went for a wee bit more minimal approach and made it free...but then there would be ads - total drag - but free is THE magic word, doesn’t matter who you are. The super rich are some of the scroogiest (to use a seasonal metaphor) most cheapass tight mf’s you’ll encounter...funny enough. That’s mainly why they’re such terrible terrible people. When money means more than life, explicitly human life, then one should make arrangements to have all of their assets to go to worthwhile sources and donate their remains to organ transplantation and universities anytime before they find it irresistible to end their life. ?
Highly entertaining, great music

I absolutely agree that if you want to enjoy the zen of this game you ought to wear some nice quality headphones. Great music and great graphics. Highly entertaining.
Dull puzzles with pretty cutscenes
Ferenge
It’s a poor take on a match 3 game with pretty scenes in between the puzzles. I expected the gameplay itself to be beautiful - as in Monument Valley and FROST. The gameplay is just drab.
Just perfect

Not too difficult but not too easy either. A sweet puzzle world- I’m on level five and loving every minute!
Great puzzle game with a (sort of) hidden mechanic
DaggerGhost
I thought this game was just fine for a while. Then I realized new tiles came in based on where I was sliding. Then it suddenly became an amazing puzzle game of strategy with just a little bit of luck.
