8 of 15The best game in the AppStore by far!!! The music the graphics the gameplay all are perfect! PS.The ads are gone ;)
Love it. Looks and plays amazing. No ads!!!
The game mechanics are simple, but the solutions to a level can be tricky. There's a bit of creativity needed. This is a fun game when you have a few minutes to spare; recommended.
Best IOS game I've played
Great music and graphic, totally worth the dollar for noobs like me.
The trick is to complete each puzzle with maximum points on the first shot. Totally doable but requires strategic analysis. A very satisfying experience with a chill vibe.
A beautiful, thoughtful game. Worth every penny.
This game has me hooked. It's beautiful and each level is uniquely challenging.
