8 of 25This game is brilliant and beautiful. It harkens back to favorite fantasy side scrollers, while integrating musical genius as feedback to gamer choices and actions. It manages to be irreverent while capturing you in the beautiful universe. You are in love with something that humbly doesn't take itself too seriously.
I don't usually wright reviews for apps/games, but this game deserves this! This game is like Journey on the ps3 and ps4. Which i like. The controls are great, the artwork is spectacular. It's all just an amazing game. I recommend this game to everybody who like the games Journey, and Monument Valley. I am not finished with the game, so I am hoping for a spectacular ending. Once again, a miraculous game. Thank you for making this game =D
i dont like it... and the directions/controls are very finicky, at least for me. not worth playing
***Before I begin my review, i'd like to clear something up: This is the Micro version of this game, which means that it only works with iPod Touch/iPhone. Its the exact same game but you will have to buy the other version if you wish to play on iPad. I personally prefer this one because if you're a mobile person than its a nice two dollar or so save. K, review time: A classic point-and-click pixelated RPG adventure that holds a musical experience nobody should miss. This game seriously has to be more popular, c'mon. Its hard ro explain everything without ruining much, but its a really wierd game that focuses on a music-based world. Everything you tap has an output. Content is extremely limited, and will be over in about 3 hours, but its still something you shouldn't miss. Alot to discover and suspenseful moments of being chased by a ghost-like monster make this game alive. If you have some spare cash, buy yourself this and waste the afternoon away in this really relaxing game.
During my childhood I downloaded this game. I found it difficult since I was young but it the only game that I can look back on with such good memories even 10 years later. Truly a masterpiece of a mobile game. You don’t find games like this any more on mobile hopefully you guys release something similar in my life time. Thank you so much truly.
You need to experience the second-person emotional bizarre beautiful storytelling to a fantastic soundtrack with beeps and boops yourself. It's hard to really explain why you need to buy this. Just do it.
My only complaint is the part where you have to wait for a bright and dark moon in the third section. Other than that the game was great with a nice art style and an amazing sound track!
This game is just so bad!!! No story, terrible gameplay, average soundtrack, and it's nothing special to look at. I have no idea why this is doing so well. Do NOT spend your money on this. I wish I hadn't.
