EDIT: First update I've seen in many months (years?), and no release notes?? 🤔 If you're an Escher fan, and you want a thought-provoking, beautiful, calming puzzle game, this is it. Excellent in every way: simple, beautiful imagery; subtle, complimentary sound FX; increasingly challenging, mind-bending 3-d puzzles. One of my fave mobile games ever. EDIT: Played again for the first time in years, and it's as delightful as ever!

Kinda disappointed.. you only get 10 levels and then afterwards they charge you $1.99 for 8 more.. I already paid $3.99 why am I not getting the full game.. then they give you only one more level for free (which was the best and most challenging) but other than that the game is fun just way to short.. I don't even want to buy the next one because of the same price for so little.. But it is fun! Not so challenging like everyone else says it's easy if you just think.

Delightful game and one of the few paid mobile games I recommend to friends (despite its short length). Art is beautiful. Game runs smoothly. The puzzles are challenging without getting frustrating. The sound design is phenomenal (honestly, the only one I wish I could tweak would be the crow sound as the rest really adds to it without getting abrasive). I've beaten it twice and watched my friend beat it once. It's sooo satisfying and really makes you think outside the box. ♡

I haven't smiled this much at a game in a long time. The gameplay is fun and innovative, the music and sound design are lovely, and the characters are adorable to look at. This whole game breathes style, and it's great to see that some creators still have artistic vision these days. It's short, but not woefully so, and the ending was satisfying and poignant. Plus if you tap on the birds they do a little caw. Easily one of the best games I've played on my phone in a long time.

This is the most genuine, fun, well rounded game I've played in years. When I say the puzzles are just enough of a challenge, I mean that. The game challenges your brain and really gets your cogs turning (pun intended), but not so much that you're overwhelmed and close the game immediately. The game rewards you overcoming a puzzle with more beautiful art, sound effects, and fun/intuitive mechanics. The art style harkens back to M.C. Escher, and I know if he were still alive today, he'd be a fan.

4/2019: still need more levels! This is the best puzzle game. It takes you out of your mental comfort zone, making you think outside the box. I received as a free app from Amazon, but couldn't buy the follow-up "Forgotten Shores", so I deleted that and PURCHASED it. I never buy game apps, and just finished purchasing and playing the follow-up game. More, please!

Probably the best puzzle game ever! Not only does it challenge your brain, but it also relaxes you at the same time! It has an actual story that's revealed during the ten main levels you play. The game is based entirely on perspective, which makes it stand out from all the other puzzle games. It gets pretty confusing due to the abstract nature of the landscape, but once you fiddle with some controls, you start to understand after a bit. Good game overall, highly recommend!

I really enjoyed Monument Valley, playing through the entire game, it's additional adventure, and it's $2.99 DLC over two evenings while watching TV with the wife. I've always loved Escher-like art, and this was a fun and relaxing puzzle game that gave the opportunity to explore such setpieces. The game is familiar to Fez in its geometric manipulations of an impossible world and changes in perspective, though it is much more approachable in its difficulty. A great puzzle game, worth your time.

It's the best! I've finished it twice. It's very trippy, ethereal, clever, and beautiful. I adore the puzzles! I played the second game as well, and that was also amazing! (I believe there were some cute extras as well?) The only complaint I have about the game is that it is tragically short. I would pay for more puzzles. Monument 3?? 👀

This is an exceptionally amazing game! The solutions to the puzzles seem impossible at first, but are so seeming right there as you walk your path and manipulate the path to different view points. How some of them came together had me say "Wow, that's amazing!" on more than one occasion. This game makes your brain have to think outside of the box. One of the greatest games I've ever played. Will absolutely be looking at the developer's other titles. Brilliantly done guys and gals!
