Beautiful game. Intriguing story.

The artwork is beautiful with a retro look and feel. The story is fun and bizarre - you can't second guess where the narrative is taking you. Sometimes I found the controls a bit sticky. Great game and hope there is a follow up if only to find out if Ruth breaks the curse.

I really wanted to like this game, but I became increasingly frustrated by the combination of obscure puzzles / solutions and touch controls. The first issue could just be me being dense but the second is a problem: you have to be extremely accurate in placing where you want an item to be used. I wasted time by choosing the correct item, dragging it to the correct place to use it, but nothing happened, and then trying to find another non existent solution! Finally, having to check out a walkthrough video and finding out I was right all along was very annoying. This happened several times and I gave up and deleted the game out of frustration which is a real shame as there is much to like. I don’t like giving negative reviews but I hope this may be considered constructive feedback.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Look forward to more from Mathis Folkestad. Really pleasing to play and the rhyming adds extra enjoyment. Loved the protagonist Ruth even when her mounds hit the ground 😉. I was one of those who got stuck so I appreciate Machineboy (Appunwrapper) but I have no doubt for most it will be challenging, fun and doable. I’m just sorry it’s over, for now. Maybe we will get to follow Ruth in her universal travels (fingers crossed).

Is it really that difficult to at least optimise it for those devices so it’s proper 16:9 ratio with black bars only on sides.Because of that basically looks smaller on iPhone X than on iPhone 6,7,8.Home bar visible all the time as signal, battery and time.I know you’re just one guy but it would be great if you can fix it.CheersEdit:The game is so good. It was simply unfair and immature to review it so low just because of screen size.I got full explanation why is so hard to change it without changing UI.Is worth playing even if it’s not full screen.Can’t wait for the next project!

Hi, sorry to hear about your trouble. Unfortunately the touch/drag mechanic for the inventory interferes with the home button swipe on the iPhone X, so the game had to purposely be made smaller so it was playable (the iPhone X screen is also wider than 16:9 which the game was originally designed for). If you shoot me an email at support@machineboy.com I can send you a code for the Steam version instead. Best, Mattis.
