Incredible experience! I don't often write reviews, especially for phone games. But this was truly a unique experience. Never has a puzzle game left me so satisfied and wanting more than this game, I was sad when it was over and immediately bought the extra levels and was not disappointed in the slightest. The sounds, music, and the look and feel of this game are incredible! Very reminiscent of Journey. The puzzles are beautifully made, very simple but challenging. Controls work very well, only complaint is there isn't more.

Leaves Me Speechless Words cannot describe the incredible awesomeness of this game. The geometry of the levels is absolutely mind-blowing and it is fun and challenging in all the great ways a game can be. The developers have made an absolute masterpiece and there are no other games out there that come close to this one. You cannot go wrong in downloading this game. It is worth WAY more than the price. I just hope they come up with more levels. I could play hundreds of them. UPDATE: I bought/downloaded the added 8 levels and they are incredible. WELL worth the $. (Acer A500 10.1" Tablet - Android v4.0.3)

Flawless This game is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. It's simplistic design & stunning colors transport you into another world. The story was simple yet beautiful as well. I never had any problems with the game freezing or skipping. It's very fluid. Very addictive game. Played through Ida's dream and expansion the day they came out. My only criticism for this game would be there aren't enough levels. I wish they were going to continue making more. :( def worth every penny.

Best Game ever! This is the 2nd time I've bought this game. Bought for Kindle a few years back 2012 or 13 ... t's been over a year sense the 3rd extension pack came out, & was hoping for another. I miss the game so hell, why not buy again. 😏 Anyone who's considering not buying for financial reasons ..I mean come on. . It's 4 bucks . (+ Extensions if desired)..this amount of entertainment, enjoyment & critical thinking & awareness under $10 in this world today is a steal!

Matt Clay

Too short for the price you pay Absolutely stunning game. Graphics are smooth and the gameplay is the most unique gaming experience I've had in a while. But the fact that its a paid app and you can finish both gamemodes in under two hours annoys me, and then the game has the balls to ask you to buy more levels! Tldr; Amazing game but much too short to justify price. 8/10

Elio Campitelli

What this game lacks in length, it has in depth. Every aspect is thoroughly designed and it shows. The artwork is stunning, filled with detail and lovingly crafted. The gameplay is so smooth that you almos don't realize how complex are the puzzles; manipulating this strange world with bizarre geometry becomes second nature right from the start. And the sound design is just perfect. Every interaction with the world highlighted with beautiful sounds that don't feel out of place. Every part of the game comes together in a lovely whole.

You don't play this game as much as you experience it. There are a few levels that really challenge your spatial reasoning and how you look at geometry. The music is soothing and the gameplay is simple and smooth as butter. Easily one of the best games I've ever played. Really hope they can put out some new levels one day, but the cost of this game plus the $1.99 in-game purchase for the extra pack is soooooooo worth it.

Micah Zoltu June 8, 2016

Worth every penny. I'm not sure why people have such a problem paying $1 for half of a game and another $2 for the rest of it if you like it. I would have rather paid $0 up front for 1/4 to try it out then another $5 for the rest. Luckily though, I took the plunge and risked the first dollar. Very fun thinking game. Not super hard, but interesting.

Ammon Sorden May 11, 2016

EASILY best app game I've ever played. I'm 25. came from a great generation of games. rpgs and story mean the world to me, and I've been extremely picky the last few years getting older. Never has a game caught me so quick as this, especially on a phone. I cannot recommend this game more. it's whimsical, beautiful, catching, stunning, brain tingling, and heart strumming all in one. Idk if it's just a fun nitch in my life this game has found, or if it really is just that F***ing amazing. GGWp. edit:changed to 3 star for being INCREDIBLY short

Taro MilkTea April 27, 2016

Money well spent What an absolutely beautiful game! I'm still blown away by the designs. I don't regret spending money on this game because it was not only beautiful but it was an all-rounder puzzle game (not super easy and not super hard where it's frustrating). I admit I had some wtf moments when the illusions were just trippy :P It would of been nice if the game was a little longer though. You could probably finish this in a day or less but other than that 11 crow people out of 10!

Most amazing experience from a game I have ever had. This game will blow your mind, bend the laws of physics, make your hairs stand on end and will make you shocked. By far the most amazing, beautiful and well made game I've ever played, not only on my phone but though out all of my gaming experiences. Looks amazing on my s7 edge. The game can be long or short, as it differs from how much you think outside the box. The graphics and visuals are amazing, the puzzles are those made by a genius and the story will touch you. Genuinely, amazing. Just get it. <3

Jason Batchelder September 2, 2016

Great game but way too short $4 for an hour or two of game play... It's not a bad deal compared to a movie ticket but it doesn't have much replay-ability so its literally a one shot game. That being said, graphics are great, game play is amazing, and the soundtrack pulls it together. I don't regret the money I spent, but I'm back in Google play looking for something else to play.

Jonathan McFarlane April 3, 2016

Beautiful A lovely isometric geometry game with lovely graphics. The rotating wheels are slightly unpredictable and it does eat into the battery, though this still doesn't spoil the game. More levels would be nice, though the ones which are already there are fantastic. SPOILER: I thought that by the end of the game I would find out what Ida wants to be forgiven for though this never revealed - perhaps this would ruin the mystery of the game. It is overpriced, though I got 80% off in an Easter deal!

Zhanell Sutton March 8, 2016

#killer My girlfried was showing me this 🎮, saw the preview and knew I wanted it then and there no doubt. The game is absolutely worth the pay graphics are mind blowing short games hell makes you wish you could create more levels. Hope this game gets an upgrade with more levels im defiantly updating this and I will then buy the next stage. Please make more levels im dying to see whats and if something new comes ☝ my 👂 are all in

Ricardo Cardoso June 26, 2016

Most beautiful mobile game, but… This is the most beautiful mobile game I've ever seen. It's absolutely brilliant and captures the essence of Escher fantastically. I believe Escher himself would be amazed by this game. However, this us not really a puzzle game. When the only action you can take solves the puzzle, it's not really a puzzle. Even though I was awestruck at every level, the whole game only took me a few minutes to go through. Forgotten Shores doesn't require download, this us just disrespectful.

Daphnie Loong May 8, 2016

Mindblowing beauty I'd say this game was more of a spectacle than anything else. The graphics and mesmerizing colours are what sold me to continue into the extension although the puzzles are not too difficult. It's a fine balance between a relaxed game and a challenging one. Definitely worth the money just for the concept itself. Looking forward to more levels, please!

James Rainone May 15, 2016

A Work of Art Monument Valley is no ordinary game. It has beautiful music, a great story, calm gameplay, and still holds a true challenge and is still labeled as a puzzle, but feels like a game. The artwork and design is created with love and a passion for sharing its beauty. Overall, my favorite game by-far in the app store and one that I cannot stop playing.

Alice Desbois August 13, 2016

Can't purchase forgotten shores This game is amazing in both depth and design and, although a bit short, totally worth the price. That said, I'm having issues purchasing forgotten shores. Whatever the type of payment I chose this type of payment is refused. Since I can purchase other products from the play store, I think this issue is specific to this expansion. I'll gladly rate this app 5 stars if this issue is resolved.

James Hepworth August 15, 2016

Too short and too easy I liked this game but there sure could have been more of it. Most of the puzzles had a small element of working out, but mostly just slide this over and walk her across. Far to easy. I felt like it never left the "how to play the game" type levels.

Lauris Olups September 21, 2016

I seriously never play puzzle games But this is just something else. It's jaw-dropping in so many aspects. The visual style and atmosphere, the Escheresque geometrically impossible puzzles and the "ah wow!" factor of solving them. Everything about this game screams genius and unique.

Ole Moi Tytlandsvik July 18, 2016

Good, but not Worth it A very good concept executed in a fantastic fashion. Sadly it is currently way too expensive for what it's offering. $4 is good for 10 levels (1-2 hours of gameplay) which aren't challenging in the slightest, and then I am expected to pay even more for extra gameplay. It's a shame, this game would be an easy 5 star rating if it wasn't ridiculously short and waay overpriced.

Chemclskinz September 26, 2016

Addictive and Gorgeous From the get go the sounds are soothing, the colors calming and dimensions calling ;) The story is light but the puzzle dimensions continuously drive you on to see what they will come up with next. It looks gorgeous through the whole game without becoming boring or repetative. The puzzles change so much that you never feel like you're seeing the same thing over and over again. It is well worth the money to play it.

Eldis Skenderagic April 19, 2016

Love It I played this game over and over and over, like dozens of times. I don't even know what I'm trying to achieve any more, beside enjoying the beautiful worlds all over again. It is too bad that development is stopped way too early, and that new content is not to be expected ever again... But even with this limited gameplay lengthwise, this game is about to remain one of the most influencing mobile game ever.

Alexandra Cornish August 15, 2016

Excellent addiction Mind bending and completely addictive game. Totally want to continue playing on Forgotten Shores but I cannot purchase as all my method of payment are invalid for some reason. Slight disappointment that it's not more difficult and took me too short a time to complete. Still enjoyed it. See you soon, Ida.

Akshansh Manchanda May 26, 2016

Nice but short for the money to be paid. Fun to play, Nice implementation of isometric graphics in puzzle solving. Graphically simple but appealing. 10+8 Chapters. Though it is a bit disheartening that after buying the game you need to buy the pack if you want to play more for about Rs 100 which could be considered if the game had some replay value(which it clearly doesn't have).

Graham Starkweather April 17, 2016

Great game, far too short What gameplay there is feels smart and original and I love the design but it is far too short to be a pay for game. It's so short that even if they doubled the number of levels it would still feel short. If you're going to pay for a game you might as well download "limbo". Hope they add new levels!!

Marlon Jones August 10, 2016

Very good! This is a very good game! Very fun, immersive, and the soundtrack is just STUNNING. I've beaten both this and Forgotten Shores about 10 times now and it still feels fun each time! It's also helpful with relaxing. This game has helped me with anxiety attacks several times by giving a fun distraction. Highly recommended :)

Janie Hotchkiss May 5, 2016

Wow just Wow oh Wow Gorgeous graphics, music, and story! Deceptively simple in many ways. Some challenges are fairly straightforward; others may have you thinking, "But I can't get OVER there...." Well, yes you can. Remember this is Escheresque. Very. And appropriately haunting as well. SPOILER ALERT for folks like me who love cute things: nothing bad happens to the totem! I almost cried at two points, but it worked out OK. 😁 Now I want a plush totem....

Alan Henderson August 9, 2016

A good start To me this is like a prototype for something awesome. Tons of potential but there's still a lot of work to do. It was too short and far too easy for my taste but still pretty awesome. Well worth the 99¢. Update. I played the expansion. The last 2 levels started to get interesting. Still not the puzzle I was looking for but I love the idea of playing with perspective and topology.

Alina Z July 8, 2016

Best puzzle game ever I saw this at the Cooper Hewitt and was so glad to see it available in the Play store! This is the first app I ever purchased and it does not disappoint. I am in love with the graphics and the puzzles! I can't stop playing it (but I did just to write this review). Absolutely love this delightful game. Can't wait to keep playing. Good job developers and artists!!

Faolin Nachname April 6, 2016

Wonderful No doubt that this is by far the best game I have ever played. Every single thing about it is just perfect and created with so much love and passion, so even a lower amount of levels would be worth every cent. Apart from that it left me speechless!

Eshan Singh February 26, 2016

This does not deserve 5 stars It deserves 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 stars. Seriously. This game is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Its simplistic design makes it so so good. If you are a puzzle gamer and dont have Monumnet Valley, WHO ARE YOU? It's a really good game, except that there is kinda a lack of content, even if you get forgotten shores (which I did). I hope more! Paid will do. But I want MOAR!

Wirley Valdez March 12, 2016

Both liked it and disappointed So it happened on me. I downloaded the app on appstore (on my ipad) and i played it for free. I thought this paid version unlocks the other adventure. Like whoah, i bought it and finished all the stages then i need to pay for another adventure? I thought its already unlocked. How about on ios? You can download this game for free.

Francisca Moreno August 12, 2016

I enjoy it I really do find this game to be relaxing and intriguing to play, which is why I wanted to buy Forgotten Shores for 1.99. I tried to make the transaction through a giftcard on which I had plenty of credit left on but it denied that form of payment. I find this to be annoying especially since I was fully willing to purchase it, now that I have completed the original and idas dream I really have nothing left to do with the app. You just lost 1.99 :/

Giles Wilson April 13, 2016

Relaxing and Thoughtful More of a high quality interactive short story than a puzzle, the beautifully designed graphics and ambient soundtrack are delightful to play with. The creator's bending of the rules of geometry reminds us that all screen images are two dimensions. Apparent depth in '3D' games is the real illusion!

Clownguy September 27, 2016

Very good This game is probably one of the best games to play in your free time it is very relaxing but it is challenging. Boggled my mind when I first bought the game but I became addicted. So any of you planning to get this game you should without any hesitation. There might be a few bugs but I have yet to encounter one.

Adam Zanbilowicz June 20, 2016

Amazing imagination Completely original. Brilliant. If it were longer it would descend into the level of common games. Don't add levels unless you have new ideas. This game is beautiful and shows extraordinary creativity. I keep saying wow... How did they do that.

Chris Bussell April 6, 2016

Good little time filler Too short, too easy but still a brilliant game. The graphics are nice & I enjoyed every minute of playing it, but there just weren't enough of those minutes! If it was longer & more challenging it would definitely get 5 stars

Maegan Hendricks July 23, 2016

Such a great game This is the first puzzle game encountered that I could not stop playing. The game is well designed, with beautiful graphics and the story is engaging. Puzzles are challenging, some more than others, and very well done. The only complaint is have is that there isn't more DLC avaliable!

Nicole Kitzig March 27, 2016

Visually stunning. Mind bending. This game is absolutely fantastic AND completely worth the price. I got the expansion and I love every second. Oooo bendy! :D No, the puzzles aren't terribly difficult. It is the way you have to alter your perception to solve each one. The graphics are stunning, the sounds are captivating, and the story is enchanting. It is nice to see some thought put into mobile gaming. Thank you!!
