Very well done
JC1969
High quality game in every way. Glad I took the chance. Feels like Limbo without the harsh deaths. Should be hours of game play.
Different and interesting

This is a physics puzzler, but it seems different from the too many IOS physics puzzle games I have played and tired of. I am enjoying NightSky tremendously and I love the presentation.
Great!!

One of the best purchases I have made. These good reviews don't need to "calm down" because this is great puzzle/indie game, and if all you take from it is you just roll a ball around then you didn't play very much. Really great game from a great company. I hope to see more of Nicalis in the future.
Infectiously Pleasing

Totally Unique as Art combined with Challenging and Calming Entertainment ... Bravo ... Standing Ovation ... And Thank You
Lovely atmosphere & gameplay!

What a wonderful world! Enjoyable atmosphere and peaceful music/environment make the challenging game less stressful! ;-) It eases you on nicely with the tutorial levels, which aren't overbearing. Then it becomes sincerely challenging over time. My only nitpick is the double tap gesture to restart the level often excites by mistake when I am swiping really fast, and trying to interchange between two hands to increase the swiping speed.but this is just me doing it wrong. ;-) Thanks!
Plays great, looks even better

It's a physics puzzle game that plays like a platformer. Extremely high quality production values and NO IAP make this a 'must-have'. Anybody who finds a game like this 'boring' must be a pretty boring person to begin with.
Great game

Soothing and stressful all at once. Hard to stop playing once you start. Very original and simple.
Strange crash on startup
NoMoreCoffee
The first couple of times I tried starting this game on both my iPhone5 and iPad2, it crashed. I restarted my devices, and it still crashed. I kept trying to load it, and miraculously, it loaded. I think it might have to do with Gamecenter logging in because I only saw the Welcome Back notification when the game finally loaded. I can't wait to actually play the game now.
Amazingly Good !!

This is an original game that has amazing atmosphere and gameplay. I recommend this to anyone who appreciates games. It's pretty challenging near the end but it was fun. I liked it and I'll be keeping my eye out for number 2...there better be a number 2 ! :D
