[REVIEWS]

“An interesting twist on your typical puzzle game which leads to a fun experience.”
3.5/5 – Geeky Hobbies

“They say video games can’t teach you anything. They say it’s not an art form and it can’t offer you a single drop of culture. Whoever said that really needs to give Mystic Pillars a shot. Not only did I feel smart tackling its math-based puzzles like a smug scholar, but also made me want to dive into Indian culture.”
7/10 – waytoomanygames

“Mystic Pillars is a great puzzle game that not only looks pretty but the art design and lore of the game is pretty unique. The gameplay is solid as well because the puzzles will keep you busy for a good time.”

Ratings and reviews

I am a stubborn kind of person. I don't use walkthroughs or hints, usually. But this game was a decent start until the 3rd world. It ramps up the difficulty 10 fold. Normally, I would push through it, but after doing the same puzzle for over 30 minutes, it gets boring. Even if you want a hint, there isn't one. So it's either suffer through it or look up walkthroughs.

Level 9... and is already a challenging level. For sure is not an easy to complete all 100 levels of it. I like that is a game to play for hours, the graphics are nice, sound appropriate for the type of game and atmosphere. Is a unique concept, at least I haven't seen a list of games that are similar to this... is not like the match 3 games that you can find hundreds of them. Great job 👏

A game I would definitely recommend. Beautiful graphics, great story, and wonderful game. I enjoyed playing even level. Great variation in challenge with the puzzles too. Not too difficult to deter you from playing but challenging enough to make you feel accomplished when you get past those tough ones. One minor inconvenience is that the start menu is blocked by spirit's shadow. No big deal once I guessed the button locations.
