It’s not a game, it’s an art. Too short, but worth a cup of coffee.

This doesn’t do anything
The screen is black and it just says “connect game pad to continue”, even though my game pad is connected.
2021-03-07
I don’t even know what happened
Did I play a game? Was it art? How do you rate art, and how do you say if it’s worth its price? For a game - it’s dissapointingly short. It literally has 3 puzzles that are solved and gone in 15 minutes. Don’t reccomend you spend any money on this game.
But, if you like art, it’s worth its money.

Lovely and provocative
We are funny creatures, aren’t we?! We’ll pay $5 for a (usually throwaway) greeting card with nice art, but complain about a $2 app not being sufficient, failing to recognize the craft and time that goes into this kind of original storytelling, animation and music. Why kvetch about the length when it says right in the description that it takes 20-30 minutes to play?! I found the story + artwork + puzzle play + soundtrack delightful, innovative and intriguing, and it’s refreshing to interact with a piece of unfolding art in a right-brained, unexpected way. Bravo.

Fun, but really short
It was really fun but it was also really short and kind of a waste of money. I still enjoyed it thought.
2020-09-25
Fun, beautiful, way too short
I prefer a game I can play a little each day over a series of days. Right when I thought I was wrapping up for day 1, I actually finished the whole game.
2020-09-20
Why Bother
It moves slowly and with no real purpose. I lost interest very quickly. I’m just tapping a screen to make some random thing happen. It’s a short game I understand but I keep getting interrupted and it can’t seem to save my progress. So far it’s been a waste of time and money. Can’t recommend it.
2020-09-18
Great relaxing game
I echo others saying it was way too short, but I want to see more from these guys so I’m giving it 5 stars. I too was boggled by the story, but it really didn’t matter as it was entertaining. Loved the art.
2020-09-17
Lovely and calming
Perfectly caking before bedtime. Nicely done! I’m happy to pay the small fee for your development.
2020-09-15
Mostly random screen tapping
I thought the game looked cool, and I was quite a few levels in when I realized I had no idea what was happening in the “story”. A good part of the time, I wound up randomly tapping the screen until something happened. Another reviewer compared it to Monument Valley. This game is NOTHING like Monument Valley. The graphics are minimal. There is nothing to learn and build on, and if there was a story, I have no idea what it was.

Super short not worth the money
Finished the game in 15-20 minutes. Not worth the money. Basically you just click until you do something. Artwork was nice and the game somewhat relaxing but again not worth paying for. I hope they add more levels so I can feel it’s worth the money.
2020-09-15
Too Short
Completed in 15 minutes.
2020-08-18
Relaxing and beautiful
Outstanding graphics nice intuitive gameplay. Creative but short.
2020-08-08
Awful
You should offer refunds. Game makes no sense. Just clicking on random things until something happens. Awful story line. I don’t even write reviews. That’s how bad I feel like this game is.
2020-08-08
Good but the intro
The intro is not the best it throws you in the and I don’t think there was a tutorial but once you get past the intro it’s not hard And some parts take long but the game is very good (if you like this game I would recommend monument valley)
2020-08-07
DISAPPOINTED
Thought there could of been more to the story itself. At first I thought it was a very creative puzzle/game and I was so interested, then after finishing it twice I completed the game within 10min. At the end of the game I was VERY DISAPPOINTED . Hoping there is more to this game future wise

A beautiful and poetic game
This game is a piece of art. I loved it!
2020-07-29
Too short for a paid game I was done in 20 min
Too short

Too short but good game
This game was very relaxing! I love these type of games but the game is too short to be paid for. Wish this game was either longer or for free
2020-07-28
Too short
The game and gameplay are good but for $2 I think it should be a lot longer.
2020-07-27
Wish it was longer
I personally loved this game but I finished it in less the 20 minutes i was honestly sad but it’s still a really good game is you are into puzzles and adventure games 😊
2020-07-27
Disappointed
Bought this game for me to only finish it in 20 minutes. No meaning to the game. Pointless. Waste of money. Do not buy this game. You will be disappointed. 🤦🏼♀️
2020-07-26
could have been better
beautiful artwork, TERRIBLE game design
2020-07-26
Beautiful and haunting
Gorgeous art. Wish it were longer but very impressive
2020-07-25
Stunning Visuals; Lackluster Gameplay
The hand drawn animation and story design are spectacular. Unfortunately the gameplay is fast and unchallenging. The story elements are beautiful. But this is a game you could finish in about 20 minutes with every little cognitive energy expended on your part. I wish the game play was more harder.
2020-07-25
Beautiful game and great story
The game has beautiful art and is very relaxing to play. I enjoyed figuring out the puzzles and seeing the story develop.
2020-07-25
So culturally relevant to our times
It was so soothing to go through Arrog’s life and death and feel his peoples’ grief and songs and the animals who lead and follow and eventually how he becomes the earth.

Too short for A Great Game
This game was on my preorder list as soon as I saw it. I love games in this category and was super excited to get to play this as soon as it was released. However, this game became disappointing after I completed it in 20 minutes, give or take a few minutes. Puzzles was simple but not a lot to it in furthering the story. Meaning I was hoping the puzzles were intertwined with the story. I am just hoping after paying for this small game there will be episodes or more to it added along the way.
But I do give kudos to the people behind the game. The game in itself with involving death as it is much a taboo in most societies gives a way for others to look at it from others perspectives.

Beautiful but short and not much gameplay
If you want to see a beautiful animation for the visual art story experience, this is well worth it. Amazing art style. But if you want a mysterious adventure game to figure out, this is not for you. Most of it is just tapping to reveal the next animations. There is very little game play and it's extremely short. It wasn't worth the price to me but I had to rate something good to recognize the artistic work put into it. Would have been 5 stars if I found it as a YouTube animated short instead.
2020-07-24
The game
I loved the game but I wish it was longer. It had a very unique style that I liked, but I wish they gave you more of a story line and made the game longer. I finished it pretty quickly.
2020-07-24
Excellent puzzler experience
While short, the production values are beautiful and the puzzles are creative. Worth all 213 pennies.
2020-07-23
Seriously?!
I paid $2 for what? Maybe an hour of gameplay?? That’s ridiculous! It wasn’t really a “ game”... its a story with a few little things to touch. I just wasted money
2020-07-23
Arrog
I thought it was a beautiful game but it was way to short. Although I don’t mind supporting peoples work I don’t think it was worth the $1.99. There are free apps that last longer than that.
2020-07-23
Too short
6/10
2020-07-23
Great style, little substance
This game has a great concept and neat art. But it only had maybe half a dozen puzzles and a lot of slow cutscenes that couldn’t be skipped. I also agree with the other review that said not all the navigation or goals were intuitive. Pretty disappointing, overall.
2020-07-23
Great!
The game is beautiful and love how it was made! My only thing is that it’s super short, as in it only takes an hour to finish.
2020-07-22
beautiful game
the music and art style were exquisite. i just wish the game itself was longer.
2020-07-22
Pretty but super short
Pretty game, but took me about 30 to get from beginning to end. I would have liked it to be a little bit more of a challenge.
2020-07-22
Way too short
I like the fact that it was a unique game. There was nothing difficult or challenging about it, very relaxing. I didn’t understand what the story was about, other than a person died. What was the purpose of the hippo? It was just way too short for a paid game. I finished it in 20 minutes.
2020-07-22
Wonderful!
A short but intense experiencia that should be experienced with good headphones.
2020-07-22
Left wanting more
The game is beautiful and promising, but it is short and unsatisfying. The notifications from Game Center for each achievement was annoying. The story and the challenges can be further developed.
2020-07-21
What did I just play?
I bought a game because I thought the art style looked really cool. Turns out the UI is really not intuitive. I ended up just tapping on the screen until I eventually figured out what it was I was supposed to do.
And it’s super short.
I’m assuming there is some kind of story, but it’s too abstract to make sense. I wouldn’t waste my time or money again.
2020-07-21
very short
felt a little too short, but it was well done.
2020-07-21
Utterly beautiful
Wonderful, artistic, calming and utterly beautiful adventure. It makes you slow down and think on the tasks with no instruction. I appreciated the time to investigate and find my own way. Lovely graphics and sounds.
2020-07-21
Short and sweet
Very beautiful game. Also very, very short. Would’ve enjoyed more.
2020-07-21
Great, if super short
While it’s a great ‘games as art’ piece, it is very short, like 30 minutes, but that isn’t necessarily a negative.
2020-07-21
Short
I had fun, but it only took me 45 minutes to finish the game.
2020-07-21
Add more levels?
I was SO excited for this game. It really fit into the type of games I enjoy. I’m a little disappointed that it only took me 30 minutes to play. Especially since this is a game you pay for. Would love to see more levels and difficulty added!!
