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.

I paid £5 for a game, had only about 25 levels, finished it in 1 day and I WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZED! The game is so worth it! Stunning graphics with very unique and ambient atmosphere, cute and appropriate Ida's reactions and what most important - very catchy, developed logical riddles. Sacred geometry made it a gem of GooglePlay. I am very sad that the game is over and have a hopes that developers will be adding more levels. Please please please!

Marlon Jones

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 :)

Harshal

What a fantastic demo of what could have been. At 260 INR, this game is costly for the amount of playability or replayability it offers. It is imperative that one would compare with steam games and at 260 you get more value for money. Having said that, the experience in itself was lovely. It was a treat to watch things move, open, close etc. But I guess I won't be buying the expansion pack. I loved Mekorama too and that's donation based.

Eye-catching & Beautiful! Words can't describe how happy I am for buying this gem. I was sceptic regarding how reviews used to say that this game is short. But really, now I don't care - the music is legendary, the game looks astonishingly great and gameplay is so intuitive. One of the best gaming experiences of all time for me. Just GEDDIT!

Toby Hawkins

Fantastic design (graphics, sound, and gameplay). Fun and makes you want to keep paying. Unfortunately the entire game takes about an hour to complete and isn't challenging. With a concept this great there really should be some harder levels, and I hope some come, although I fear this is it! If the price means nothing to you and you have a train journey or similar to fill though, worth the download.

The game is really good. Has amazing designs and great gameplay. The only problem is that it took me 30 minutes and i completed it. I payed £2.99 for 10 levels and then you have to pay for more. I wouldnt say its worth it but its still a really good game. ;)

With the superb graphics, the lovely music and the awesome story, every level is a work of art. For Ustwo games, I would recommend to add a sandbox mode or infinite mode for something to still do when you're done all the stories and chapters several times (like me). Anyhow, this game is a must download, and while you read this, you are wasting time instead of downloading and playing this precious game...

The aesthetics are enough for my purchase Seeing the screenshots is one thing, but seeing it in motion is really something else. The design is one of the most masterful I have ever seen in a game. The mechanics of the game are relatively simple, all focusing on perspective based puzzles.

Trent Ballew April 11, 2016

Ingenious game One of the best puzzle games ever. I wanted to give it 4 stars because it's just too short, but it's an incredible game wish 5 stars. I want MORE! It's like walking through an Escher drawing that is constantly changing. It's a step up from the excellent pc game Fez, only Fez has a lot more game play. I paid $4 for the game and add-on and only got 19 levels. You should get more levels for that price.

Elio Campitelli April 9, 2016

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.

Maria Wynants February 16, 2016

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.

Michael Brinton October 26, 2016

A Masterpiece This is the first mobile game I've ever played that's so good that it warrants mobile gaming as a significant gaming platform. The art, music, gameplay and everything about it is beautiful and coated in polish. I love the Escher vibe to it and the intelligent level design, especially in forgotten shores. This is one of those rare titles that I will never stop recommending to people. On a side note, it was awesome seeing the game referenced in House of Cards, it deserves every bit of publicity it can get.

Dustin Diaz November 27, 2016

Climaxed too early! Over too soon :( Visually beautiful! This is a breath of fresh air in a guns, bombs, fast cars and zombie dominated world. I couldn't get enough of it and didn't stop playing until it was completed. That said it was over far, far, far too quickly. The game guides you through so the levels are/can seem easy as there is no wrong way to play. It is just a matter of how quickly you will figure it out. All that said I did pay to play the extra levels as I couldn't get enough of it. I Look forward to more, more than 10 levels!

Austin Zhu May 24, 2017

This is the first mobile game i have ever paid for, and i have to say it did not disappoint. The graphics, interface, music and gameplay all complement each other perfectly. I finished the main story and purchased the expansion without hesitation. My only criticism is that the game is too short and i hope the developers are working on more levels. Despite this, i would purchase - and repurchase this game any day of the week. It is flawless and is unparallelled by any game - it will leave you speechess :)

Matt Clay April 18, 2016

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

JOSEPH WODARCZYK October 15, 2016

The best cellphone game I am not at all paid by the devs. I honestly think this is the single greatest cell phone. I'm not exaggerating at all. It's an amazing puzzle with beautiful art styling and gorgeous audio and not broken(remember that last one). There are a lot of clones, but this is the first and the best. It's completely worth the money and has no ads or micro transactions. (the in app purchase is for a dlc that's basically a sequel) The story was beautiful while vague. I've never cried for a SPOILER.

Renee Outlaw May 12, 2016

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!

Sean Parker August 30, 2016

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.

Lumanare M. May 21, 2017

This game. This game is an art form that's been long lost. Think MC Escher gone even weirder at times. It will make you think, and question reality. See a gap? Turn the world and make it disappear. Need to get around to a button? twist the world. The game is just simply amazing, and has an equally amazing ambient soundtrack. It is well worth the money, and even the DLC is too.

Klaus Thavan Ravi December 16, 2016

An app without equal This is the first and only gaming app I've bought thus far. Its game play wherein which its music, ui, play style makes it an app unlike any other. The creators of this game are absolutely brilliant to have come up with such a remarkable app. They have also inspired me to code an app of my own. I could sing no higher praise to the creators and their app. I would highly recommend everybody to download and try this app for it will surely bring you an experience that'll be entirely and absolutely different.

A S 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

Joshua Cliche May 31, 2017

This is such a good game. I wish there was more. The end comes way to fast, even with the DLC. I hope there is more DLC or even a sequel someday. I dont spend money on many mobile games but Monumemt Valley is one of the few I would gladly spend more money on.

Richard Gibbens February 22, 2016

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.

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!

Jason Antonacci November 6, 2016

Beautiful and surprising Every chapter, invariably at some point, made me chuckle and say, "oh!". Completed all three major sections and definitely want more. Thinking there is fun still to be had with replaying. And family content means everyone can play. This is a large download and significantly drains my battery, but worth it.

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.

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.

Konstantinos Galanakis March 20, 2016

Very very short! The game is great! Captivating gameplay, calming music, great atmosphere. But the problem in that it remains a very short and pricy game. I even recommended it to a few friends before I notice it's that short, and now I feel bad about it.

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.

Melyonen Tivaniel 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.

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

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.

Professor Zeathus December 29, 2016

Great, but not puzzling enough Is puzzling a real word? I don't know. The game looks gorgeous and the music arrangement makes playing the game a relaxing experience. Looking at the different environments and geometry could amaze anyone. The use of the touch screen is also perfect for mobile devices. The puzzle mechanic is a great idea, but poorly executed however. Most of the times you simply have to walk to a button by spinning around a wheel, and wait for something that makes the next button available. Doesn't really make you think.

Larisza Rahel January 25, 2017

The only bad thing about this game is just the fact that it's a really short game. The music is beautiful, our main character "Ida" is so cute, the graphics are so breathtaking. The puzzles are pretty hard BUT in a good way. It's a shame that there are only some levels to play. I wish there were more levels; this game is really just that good. I want more levels!! :(

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.

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

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!

November 12, 2016

Not really worth it This game was verry cute and super fun to play...for a few hours. I couldn't believe how short this game was for the 4 dollars I paid. I just got this game this morning! My sister just got it too and both of us already finished it today. We just waisted 8 $! The app designers should make this worth it and make it long.

Jasmine March 27, 2017

This game is absolutely splendid. The art, the little story, the gameplay... All wonderful!! I finished the original game in less than 2 hours, I just could not put it in. I got sucked into this world.. I love when I find a new atmosphere and feeling from art that I've never experienced before. I would honestly pay for more expansions. Thank you so much for this game.
