I bought it on iOS expecting this to be available. Why is it not supported?
Way too difficult too quickly
I’m going to say that despite the good reviews and overall good will for this clever little game, many people might find that the fun stops rather early as the puzzles become punishingly difficult very quickly.
I tend to enjoy good puzzles, lover The Room series as well as the DaVinci series. I’m also not someone who gives up too easily on difficult games.
Having said that, I suspect most of the official reviews were written by people who never went past the first dozen or so levels. Things get steep very quickly beyond the first 3 locations, to the point where the game simply becomes an exercise in frustration coupled with tremendous guilt for having to search for hints on line over and over.
Be warned, you will quickly arrive at the point where you just want to delete this game from your device due to the fact that it’s no longer fun.

I do not enjoy it
Bought it 1-2 days ago. Would like a refund but can’t find a way to request it.
Make a sandbox mode
We have sandbox mode on computer but why not mobile
Amazing puzzles if you can decipher the graphics!
I love this game. The puzzles are challenging and highly addictive. I find myself coming up with solutions outside of my play time because the problems continue to cycle in my head when I close the game
However. And it’s a big one.
However, the graphics are so dark that some objects are essentially invisible while they are in their inactive state. I’ve used the setting for “force high contrast colors” and it does Nothing. No change. I’m on an iPhone SE second gen. I continue to play in dark spaces with my screen brightness turned all the way up. And this is the sacrifice I make for this game. But it shouldn’t be this way.
Please tell me there is a fix coming!

My game is broken, like actually…
Level Lake Extra 2 Sunken Temple
In the room where it states (baba is you) My game has only 7 spaces of horizontal movement between walls, and every guide that I’ve looked up to help me finish, has 8 spaces of available movement… I’m not sure how to go about fixing this.
The flag is touching a wall to its right when it should be centered.
I have deleted and redownloaded it, it is up to date, I don’t see anybody else having these issues.
The room for me is 14 units wide, all guides show the room to be 15

Clueless
I am absolutely without a clue on how to play this homely game
Love the game but not stable on 12 mini
I love this game but it keeps crashing on my phone right in the middle of puzzles. Not acceptable for an app of this price as genius as the puzzles are.
