Amazing

Nate racer

Most beautiful game ever. If you like having a nice challenge, you have to play this game. The music is the best music I've ever heard, not to say the game is bad. It is totally worth the 2.99 charge.


Hard

Too difficult. Fun for the first few levels. No check points so prepare to restart levels constantly. Not worth the money at all.


Slip Away Mystify Suffers From Slipups

This game is an undersea challenge in which you control your jellyfish character through dangerous caverns to reach keys that unlock higher levels, while collecting gems along the way. The game has potential to be an enjoyable little title, but has several issues hindering its success. First, the intro to the game is a non-interactive animation. You're visually shown what to do in the game, where instead you should be prompted to try the controls, and get a feel for the gameplay. Once the animation is done, you're thrown into the first level with tap left/right instructions, and left to explore the level. Normally, this type of introduction could work, but the one-life/start-over gameplay leads to frustration. The level design suffers from what has been described in other reviews: the beginning stages are particularly difficult, taking numerous attempts to complete what should be simple, easy goals to build player confidence. After your character (repeatedly) braves spiky walls to reach the level goal, you're presented with a key contained in smooth-looking semicircular ring, which you might expect to be a haven after all the effort required to reach that point. But no, touch any part of the ring and it's start over (again). It could make sense to add this level of difficulty at higher levels and introduce an additional challenge, but including this behavior in the first levels is a recipe for game deletion for all but the most dedicated players. Enabling the character to take up three hits before having to start over would at least allow some planning to complete the level. In terms of style, the game sports well-designed visuals, and the cute jellyfish character responds with the appropriate physics behavior. The dubstep soundtrack isn't bad, but seems out of place given the undersea setting and the floating, undulating movement of your jellyfish. Speaking of the character, you will unlock different jellyfish as you progress, but it's not clear whether the characters have any significantly different abilities, or are just style upgrades. As it stands, Slip Away Mystify is fairly daunting out the gate and will likely appeal only to those seeking high difficulty challenges. Hopefully the developers can rethink the gameplay and level progression, but in its current state, it's difficult to recommend.


Frustrating

TheGeorgeDougherty

Beautiful but ridiculously frustrating and tedious. Touching any part of pretty much anything besides the level gate kills your character. Made it to level 2 and decided it wasn't worth the time.


One thing

This is a great game and a great challenge. I’m good with all the gameplay but I just have one problem. I would really like if you guys didn’t start the music over every time you restart a new level. EDIT Really not a fan of the green laser that kills you when you collect the key and go through the gate. Ruined my chances of getting above my high score.
