Cool game. Too difficult. Should read the iTunes reviews before downloading it. I love the design.

I was just tired, I guess. Figured it out. Was me… being thick.

Nice game and kind of soothing to play, too. Apologies for my frustrated rant.

I just bought this and… well it looks cool etc but… the help is minimalist, the explanation of onscreen indicators is non-existant (or decipherable). So now I'm scrambling around what reviews I can find to figure out what I have to do and how – and what everything means. A game shouldn't be like this – it should at least explain clearly the objective and how to achieve it.

For example, there's one 'help' screen that I think is telling me I can swipe the screen to move stardust… but… what IS stardust? What is it's effect on the game? Why do I *need* to move it?

I have to say, after reading the review above, I was psyched about this and bought it on the back of what I read here – and of course, it might still be great… once I figure out what to do, exactly.

Maybe I'm just thick.

I'm about to buy this on the app store. Your trailer sold me. BTW, what's the song that plays in the trailer? Is it one of your pieces? And is it in the game?

Congrats!

I bought Eliss teased by the review and comments.
The mood is pure love.

And it's challenging enough so you can enjoy success . (I'm not so good at games)
Thanks Steph !
