    So I got this game because of all the good reviews and hype and figured I probably wouldn't like it as most puzzle games I don't like very much.

    Finally got around to playing and it really is as good as all of the reviews say there definitely are moments when you figure something out for the first time and for me personally I clearly remember doing the water palace and saying f*** off when I figured something out!

    Taking my time though doing a level here and there now to try stretch it out a little as I know people said it was short.

    Mesmerizing and engaging, although it's a shame it's over so quickly. I hope to see a sequel one day.

    I originally passed on this because I don't tend to like interactive tech demos, but picked it up after a pal raved about it. It's a stupidly short rails-based one-track maze with no intellectually satisfying decision points, but outstanding non-game elements.

    I was giving it credit for its clever core mechanic, but apparently that came from a PS3 game called Echochrome.

    I was very impressed by the way the different design elements pulled together, and the way the designers took inspiration from Escher without straying into pastiche.

    If only they'd used all these wonders to make a game.

    Is it just me or does the Ipad heat up quite a lot when playing this game? Especially on the left side of the device? :(

    Nothing graphically intensive happening to warm up your iPad, not a problem on my air or ipad 3!

    I haven't really noticed anything out of the ordinary on my iPad 3. Maybe I just got used to it as it always heats up after playing games for some time :)
