Incredible game, but criminally short. It's worth the $ but don't expect a long (or extremely challenging) journey, just a beautiful one.
Let's put it this way, idc how short it is, it's breathtaking. I bought Milie for $.99 and deleted it. This I'll play at least twice hust to experience it.
My first REAL 5star experience since the incredible sword and sworcery. Music, visuals and gameplay are incredible. It is games like this that make iOS a credible platform. USTWO, hats off to you.
He doesn't seem to have written a review for a while but he wrote at least three news articles yesterday.
I'm completely stupid and found this quite easy and short at about an hour long. But again, non-idiots will probably breeze through this in about 30 minutes. Do i feel cheated? Not at all. I feel like a lot of effort went in designing something like this. Spoiler And it absolutely tore at my heart strings when the totem pole came crashing through the castle and began swimming after the protagonist. That sold the game for me. However, i get a distinct "this is only the lite version" vibe, as it really is short. Really. However, i see myself playing through again, because it looks great, sounds even more awesome, and is fun while it lasts. 7/10
It's sad the game is so short that we have to do this. I know the average ios owner will be super pissed if they spent 4 bucks and the game lasted 30 minutes. I am predicting a crap load of complaining in the reviews. I haven't even started the first level but I am sure this will happen.
I don't know what else to say except the truth. It's visually amazing and the complexity is great. $4 just didn't do it for me. If I knew then what I know now, I would leave it be. I read comments about food costing $6. That's a pretty lame argument.
A better comparison would be that a cinema ticket costs around £7 to see a film an hour and a half long. The game costs £2.49 and lasts half an hour to one hour. Seems pretty reasonable to me, especially if the game is as good as everyone suggests. I get that it would be preferable to be longer though and I'm not trying to criticise you in anyway, I just feel that it's not such a bad cost/enjoyment ratio as you do and that's fair enough
At least I can show it off and get people jealous. I REALLY hope the dev makes more levels and makes them free for first buyers.
This must be a joke? Please quit playing iOS games now! this should be promoted not given bad ratings for its length. This in turn would encourage more games of this quality, with great length and 3-4 times the price. What is worth $4.00 in your opinion? Game or anything... Get a job!
I have not found myself as impressed with a game since Bastion. Ustwo please please keep it up. You have restored my faith in you. Thank you for letting me pay you $4.00 for a magnificent game.
Yep this is exceptional. I'm taking my time with it, not saying one level a day or that but i tend to just generally take my time with games, take in the graphics, just enjoy it rather than rushing through trying to complete it in minutes (not saying people here are just sometimes on other threads you read about some guy completing a platformer in 2 hours etc) From what people say it sounds very short BUT i dont mind, i hope this game does well for the dev so he does a sequel. I mean just selecting your level and seeing that cube spin round and the number appear is great. An amazing looking game, i'm not normally one for 'puzzle' type games but i couldnt not try this specially after so many great comments from everyone. This is one of those games where i'm so glad i've got an iOS device, lets all leave great reviews (if you like it ) and try to convince the dev to create a sequel
Bastion was good but IMO not one of the best things I have ever played on ios. I would compare this to the magical experience I got from the first Room. I did have some magical moments when they would play that awesome theme song as you progressed through levels.
Awesome game. Presentation is top notch, the general "mood" of the game is incredible, it's intelligent... Ok, as I read it, it's quite short, but I don't mind ! Thanks a lot ustwo, great job !
Hi guys, we're back in the studio so we'll be on here answering any questions you might have! Also, massive thanks for all the kind comments, makes us feel like concentrating on quality as our primary aim was all worth it.
Just finished the game, took me around 1-1.5 hours all up. Although it's a bit on the short side it was a great game with a unique mechanic and gorgeous visuals. The game reall started to shine in the last few levels and if an update could add more levels of that calibre or even more intricate that would solve my one gripe. Good work ustwo on another great game!
Hi ustwo! Incredible game. Well done. Gameplay is fun, challenging and intuitive and the presentation is beautiful. Are you planning a sequel? Or to add to the existing game? I want more!
