WOW!! This is awesome!!

First of all, the little guy who builds the snowman is adorable! I just completed the fifth and final level. I didn’t even realize there were more “achievements” besides building all of the snowmen when I played this last year. I enjoyed the problem-solving brainwork involved with the initial level. Then to start again to build without leaving the “room”… Uff, I could almost hear the gears grinding. But then… to build the snowmen for the “dreamt” achievement… now THAT was a huge challenge. This has been a great five days of fun.

An exceptional Sokoban-style puzzler

This game is charming and tightly executed. [SPOILER]What really sets it apart are the meta-puzzles after completing the main game. Such a clever idea, I’ve rarely played puzzle games that feel like they have so many layers to them. It also manages to feel open-ended without being so open as to seem impossible (e.g. Corrypt).[/SPOILER] The perfect phone puzzler. One of thing I’ve noticed is that I have no sound or music. I would have muted it anyway, so no big deal for me, but it may be some kind of bug.

The Best Game In a While

The game involves every feature you can think of. The design is beautiful!! Also this is a great game to sit down and relax during the night. If you don't like very big puzzle games I would not recommend this gamers you, but if you love puzzles that are simple yet complex than this is perfect for you. I'm surprised this is actually this cheap being the game has numbers and numbers of puzzles! Now that I have completed the game I would so recommend this to anyone!!

Fantastic!

Thank you so much for dropping the price, I've been waiting years for it to drop (I use Appticker)! This would make a great Apple TV app (with cloud save)! I just gifted it to my bro as well. Ever thought of incorporating a level builder? It would be easy to implement, and would initiate organic sharing between your customers. Maybe then even add in a daily user created puzzle, to keep people coming back?

Beautiful Puzzle App

This is a beautiful puzzle app that is enjoyable to play. There are 5 achievements including a metapuzzle at the end that made the game doubly enjoyable. One complaint is that I wish the achievements were less cryptic. Overall, this game is definitely a recommend for those who enjoy puzzle apps.

Excellent puzzler that can be revisited

Every once and a while I re-download this game and play it through to the end. Each time is as satisfying as the last

Lil fishy with all the 5 star ratings

The game appears to be a really good game with all the good ratings. Decided to give it a go. Graphics are nice but does not balance out the gameplay. The controls are hard to get used to and I love puzzle games but I lost it on the second puzzle. A little boring. Reviews must have been made by developers themselves or something, because it's definitely not worth the five dollars I've paid. Was originally going to put 2 stars, but that's only if this game was free. (Good bye.. five dollars..)

Good game but to short

Loved the game but come on there was like 25 levels and the bonus world doesn’t really add more challenge just beat it over in this location
