This looks quite unassuming graphically but going by the contraption-building it could be fiendishly difficult and very fun at the same time. Looks like another wallet raid for me I'm afraid! metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #5 metalcasket, Jan 31, 2015 Last edited: Jan 31, 2015 Haha, yeah...I know what you mean. It doesn't help that the file size is just 10 MBs. Bought, downloaded and giving it a go right now.

Monument Valley-huge I mean. If the level of charm and innovation present in the first 6 levels is consistent throughout the 100 levels present in the game, I will safely say this belongs on every single person's iOS device. Outstanding work. Dense Well-Known Member Jul 27, 2009 167 2 18 #7 Dense, Jan 31, 2015 So far have done 30 levels. Nothing too complicated but this game oozes charm. You immediately have a connection with the little bots that reminds me of the totem in Monument Valley. There should be a good 2-3 hours of content here if the level difficulty increases at the pace it has currently gone at. If you like indie puzzle games, I'd definitely recommend checking this one out. sugimulm Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2010 2,456 46 48 The last time zone for iOS game releases :( #8 sugimulm, Jan 31, 2015 Damn it Casket, you're just as guilty as Pete draining my wallet too! Lol, JK, will check this one out, thanks buddy! TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #9 TheGreatEscaper, Feb 1, 2015 ... I should have made it a New Years Resolution to stay away from any threads started by PeteOzzy. Unfortunately, I didn't, and now I'll be two dollars poorer. RossmanBrothersGames Well-Known Member May 9, 2014 344 2 18 http://www.rossmanbrosgames.com #10 RossmanBrothersGames, Feb 1, 2015 Thanks for the impressions. I think I need to give this one a try. Worst thing about having so many great games on ios is deciding which ones to purchase.

TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #12 TheGreatEscaper, Feb 1, 2015 Played up to level 30 ish so far, great game. Very good gameplay (think Thomas was alone but a gazillion times less boring, fantastic contraption (if anyone still remembers it) but a gazillion times less convoluted). There are lots of mechanics that have been hinted at to be developed further in later levels, can't wait to see what the game will throw at me. I was initially nonplussed by the graphics but they are starting to grow on me. I love all the little subtle touches like the level names in the background and the way your robot struggles a bit on the slope in the original cutscene. Very good game, highly recommended.

I was waiting for this one but now you pushed me into the done deal category!!! TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #14 TheGreatEscaper, Feb 1, 2015 Hahaha... Level 50 confirmed my suspicions and was just about the FUNNEST level ever. You'll know what I mean when you play it, don't want to spoil too much. I like the way the later levels start encouraging different approaches with multiple solutions. It'll be interesting to see the different ways we solve some of the levels. Meanwhile, level 51 is killing me by being a super hard puzzle. Is anyone else up to this point? I wouldn't be ashamed to ask for a hint... Every construction I make begins to fall once I reach a decent height. If I try to make it more stable, I can't reach where I want to go...

And I already love it. The first three levels alone made me smile, laugh and captured my interest immediately. It's like a breath of fresh air just blew across the app store. mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #18 mzinn, Feb 1, 2015 I hear ya. The backlog is ridiculous. But how can I say no? I guess the 128gb iPad full of games is proof I can't.

Such high recommendations from senior TA members. Have to try it out and report back. Strange I don't recall hearing about this game at all pre-release. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
