Spring Falls 4+

Seriously, everything about it was crafted with artistry, care and smooth game play. It is the most relaxing puzzle solving game I’ve ever tried. It has some very challenging levels that can take a long time to figure out - BUT! with the zen-like music, the ability to use unlimited undos, the soft sounds of water and quiet clicks of moving the pieces, you find yourself drawn in and more than willing to keep at it. The game offers no instructions, but the developers cleverly designed each level to gradually teach you the game mechanics - and then the natural mechanics of water flowing, pooling, and falling are always delightful to work with. The reward when you succeed is the springing up of a lovely flower with a musical bling - don’t underestimate that! It charms me every time. I’ve had my friends and family try this game and they love it, too. Even my dad, who is really into puzzlers and very, very hard to please, loves this game. He told me he wished it wouldn’t end and I felt the same way. I’ve played it over and over. And there are no in-game purchases!!!! A huge bonus. This is exactly the kind of game we need more of and I really, truly hope the developers keep designing. We need to encourage more independent, artistic, and creative thinking like this.

This is a wonderful game. It is crafted with such enormous care and attention to detail. I'll make a few specific points of praise. First: the idea is novel and really fun. Little lakes eroding rocks on a mountain. As we go on, rain adds a new game element, and then waterfalls: what brilliant thematic unity! Second, the puzzles are easy at first, but the difficulty ramps up until a few towards the end which are relatively tricky. Buried inside the neat difficulty progression is a really cool pattern: at first when a new element is introduced, you can just mess around until you find the answer. After a few levels you get stuck, and really have to figure out how the element works before you can solve the level. Third: the game looks absolutely beautiful. Fourth: the visuals are 3D, and the game is actually a 3D game for once! Fifth: there is no wasting of my time. When I opened the app for the first time, the first level was there immediately. No elaborate level select screens, no tutorials, just puzzles. Sixth: simple, unlimited undo button (this is a must for any serious puzzle game, but it is so often neglected by developers). As you can probably tell, I could go on and on, but I'll stop. This game deserves to be extremely successful. If you're reading this, please buy it!

Bought this game several days ago and have been quite impressed by the relaxing atmosphere this game creates. Excellent sound/music, well-designed puzzle system. Def worth the price of admission especially during these stressful times with the current public health concerns.

The further impressive part is that the game actually got stuck on a blank loading screen about 12 levels in on the first day so I was pretty bummed out. I submitted a bug request on the developer website that day and actually got a direct reply asking for details on the problem. I replied and less than 24 hours later got another developer email stating that he had discovered the bug and fixed it. The update was available on the App Store the following day, and the game is working great again. Overall a high quality game and great stress reliever for anyone into simple puzzle games.
