SUPPORT UKRAINIAN DEVELOPERS! :)

This game was developed by Ukrainian developers. Buying this game is one small way to show support. As so many others have said - this shares a lot with Monument Valley - especially the look. This game is well worth the low price - the small size and being ad free are bonuses. Game play is similar to MV but shorter and less challenging. It’s like a zen version of MV. I doubt I’ll play this again, whereas I can imagine another run-through of MV. I enjoyed it and would recommend it, with those caveats, to anyone who liked MV. I’ll also seek out other games by this Ukrainian developer.

Mixed review

If I had never played MV, I might have liked this more but I’m glad I played MV first Strengths: Some levels are interesting, especially the one with two characters—the teamwork element was different. The graphics are simple but appealing and clear. It has some of the same challenges as MV, and if that was new to someone it would be fun. Also, liked being able to pay minimal fee and not have ads. Weaknesses: 1) The “hints” were annoying and detracted, and they went beyond the first couple of levels. Sure it’s challenging w/no hints, but it is a PUZZLE. 2) While It is Escher-like, there was still logic to the deception in MV. A few of these just involved random tapping to get to solution.

Not exactly MV, but still pretty good!

Obviously inspired by the monument valley games. (I was kind of hoping to see that they’d been mentioned in the credits somewhere.) The story is okay, but needs some polishing for sure. It would be nice to have something a bit more fleshed out than the relatively cliche “civilization gets rekt by computers” thing. Although I did appreciate the attempt to make the narrative less abstract, I can’t help but feel like something important is missing there. The graphics are very nice, the music is soothing, and I got a couple hours of puzzle solving from this game. I can’t quite give it five stars because, although this game is enjoyable as a stand-alone experience, it really does pale in comparison to the monument valley series.

If you love MV, this will be a treat!!

Ok..so when I first saw this, I couldn’t believe someone had ripped off Monument Valley app... it’s a simpler version. Having said that, if you loved MV, then you will enjoy getting to do these type of puzzles again! Not too difficult, and overall-its relaxing and enjoyable. I would love the developers to explain how they were able to develop a version that is SO similar to MV? I think that will satisfy many potential players.

Not playing until hints are optional

I knew there were hints from reading other reviews, but I was misled by a review that said the hints only appear if you touch the screen for a few seconds - and I thought “ok, I just won’t do that.” But the hints are there like it or not (for the first few levels apparently). I realize the misleading review is not the developer’s fault, but the bad design is. I don't want to be shown where to put my fingers, at all. Ruins the exploratory experience completely. I need to be able to turn hints off from the start. I realize it’s just the first few levels, but those are ruined levels. Not playing it until/unless an update fixes this. Will give 5 stars if that happens. If that doesn’t ever happen, I wasted my money I guess. :(

Pros and a con

I enjoy this little game, but at about Level 10 on my (up to date) iOS, I hit a roadblock where no matter how or where I tap along the path, the figure will not move. I kind of accidentally got past that freeze on one level, only to run up against it on another level. This isn’t a big complaint, because for the price I got a good amount of ad-free play.

A blatant and unapologetic copy of Monument Valley

It’s like buying the discount store version of Monument Valley. Same basic mechanics, but everything is a little off. It feels kind of gross to give your money to such a blatant copy, but if you’ve already played through MV and need a MV fix… well, here you go. MV is better in all the ways though.

Glitch on level 14

I was loving this game until I reached level 14. The first puzzle in this level level has a glitch that won’t let me get on the platform to move onto the area with the red button, so frustrating because now I can’t go past this level and finally finish. Ughh!

Fortnite and PUBG lead the charge, but there are plenty of other new games worth trying.
