Kenshō

This game is perfectly genius. Not too many levels so it feels endless, not too few that it’s not worth the money. Not too hard so that it feels impossible, but not too easy, so every move takes thought. The graphics are beautiful, the lights and animations, everything. The clicking sounds when you move the tiles and other little sound effects add so much depth to the game. The little puzzles to open the doors are really fun, it’s a nice change of pace so it’s not tile after tile. I love the camera feature, a wonderful addition and a fantastic idea. I have really grown attached to all of the characters. The small noises they make and the music that accompanies them gives them an emotional ambience, and if it wasn’t clear enough what feeling was on display, the little box character has the little emoticons that are almost tacky, but just within the lines. Everything is so thoughtfully calculated. I wish there was a statue or something of the box-character, to go along with the deer. I’d buy it for sure. I look forward to more apps from 52! 🦌◽️

I downloaded it because it was visually beautiful and mysterious. The instructions are minimal, I thought intentionally. Other games/puzzles which involve a visual logic are similar. It makes them charming. The guides are consistent, which is part of the challenge. What isn’t clear is where the game is ultimately going after it stopped the way you proceeded and introduced something which seemed to go nowhere. I addressed this today in a message to Kenshō. I only had one other occasion to contact them when I couldn’t solve a puzzle; the response was rapid and helpful without giving any hints or strategies. For anyone contemplating downloading this game, don’t let My most recent problem discourage you. It’s a delight to look at and a challenge as they introduce each twist. I don’t care for the music which is distracting, so I turn it off. I like the sound effects. I gave this a 5 star rating because the whole experience was mesmerizing. It is not easy to stop, but that is a problem in the discipline of the player.

Time: 3 days (1 to 2 hours per day) Price: $1.99 (sale) When I finished this game, the first question which came to mind was: why isn’t it more popular? The second question: why are people complaining about the best parts? The game is a match three where you have to match the color of the key tile with two tiles of the same color. With each level, a new mechanic is added, keeping things always refreshing. I never thought the game was getting bland. I bought this as something to reduce stress and it nailed that perfectly. If you cannot play this game with music on (preferably with headphones), I’m more hesitant to recommend it. You have to listen to the music to be immersed. The soundtrack is a huge part of the game. There weren’t many levels, but each level had a substantial amount of gameplay. Now for things to improve upon: The story was vague. I did not understand what was going on. One bug where the circle piece froze in mid animation so there was a circle in the middle of my screen and it already moved on to the next section. It only occurred once. Another bug is that the skip animation is glitchy. Music won’t play sometimes. I don’t think it’s quite worth $3.99. However, I DO think it’s worth purchasing because the developers seem very dedicated to their game. There’s an update planned with more levels. Support these kinds of developers, who continue to expand their games after the initial release. They go beyond small bug fixes. Please don’t make chapter 2 an in app purchase.
