I just love messing with anything this artistic box offers.

я однозначно ЦА Tale of Tales, потому что это любовь, как и каждая игра от них.

As far as I can see this is a one of a kind app. It is simple and uncluttered. However it also has a number of display issues and bugs that are very distracting for the apps intended use. Regrettably the app seems to have been abandoned. I hope the authors will see fit to fix the issues and ensure it is compatiable with current Android versions, especially while still charging for the app.

I was disappointed to see that their solution to having this game on a larger tablet screen was not to increase the resolution, but to put the original play area in a larger box, like a fancy double letter boxing.

Absolutely lovely. Perfect for the 2 minutes between here and there and meditate about death.

I love this app. I am happy to see that it is working again, and updated. Excellent work.

I put in a 1 star review in may 2016 because it never worked from the time of purchase. It works now and I love it.

I had this game for anti-anxiety measures, but on my Xperia Z3 it crashes immediately on startup. This deeply saddens me.
