Come and get lost in a storybook where the lush landscape moves just enough to let you progress from puzzle to puzzle, traversing meadows, mountains, a bay, even the sky. This game is beautiful in its own right, but the beauty for me and my children right now was the peace of the gameplay. The music, the images, the story, the game play that is manageable for my 5-year-old, intriguing for my 9-year-old, and challenging enough that I had to slow down and think and try different approaches here and there. Most of all - no buttons, no prompts, no counters of achievements in the corners, no reminders to come back or the old man would suffer, just hills and waves and the occasional sheep. And how many games can you play on your iPad that almost bring you to tears? I’m sure my boys don’t understand the emotional weight of the story, but they are enjoying every step of the journey anyway.
Disappointed

I like the pace of game play. I don’t mind it being slow...However, the fact that the game is over after just a few hours of play is a Rip-Off (!) at $5....
Boring
not the only one bored
This is literally the most boring thing I ever did with a phone and I’m asking for my money back.
Wow

This game is beautiful. The story told a lot without saying much. The game invoked a lot of emotions throughout the game through the music and images. The puzzles were nice and made the game worth playing. Definitely worth playing.
Beautiful, but very short

This app is beautifully produced, but it took me very little time to understand how it works and to finish the story. I would have liked more interactive elements, more variety in puzzle solutions, and/or a longer story. Feeling a little duped for paying the full $4.99 price.
Great game :)

I really enjoyed this. I found it so soothing. It was like taking a beautiful trip and getting stumbled up just a little bit now and again. The artwork is beautiful and uncluttered throughout, and the music was really enjoyable. I’m looking forward to checking out more from this studio.
A stinker: promoting cigarettes in the app
No Need 12
I was surprised, not in a good way, to see a scene showing the main character smoking cigarettes in a cool romantic setting and this is for an App that is promoted for +4 years. If you don't support cigarettes advertisements to underage kids and don't buy this app.
