The Gardens Between

It's an amazing game, but for some reason whenever I connect my Xbox controller to my iPad the game crashes.

Wow. One of the best puzzle games I’ve ever played. The vibe, the aesthetic, the gameplay-WOW. WOW one more time. And the ending made so much sense and turned the story on its head in a beautiful way. Powerful stuff. Great experience.

It’s music, graphics and they way it was thought will just teleport your mind in another world. I don’t think I got this immersed in a game even with PC games. Plus what I believe is a an OST, is just amazing. If it really is an OST, it’s one one of the best in any game, ever. It’a just a hidden gem in the store, worth every penny and more. Congrats to all that worked on this game and thanks for giving us such an extra-sensorial experience.

Awesome game, great graphics, it was obviously thought through to the last detail. The music is mesmerizing along with the visuals. Though it may seem pretty simple because of the easy controls (rewind and fast forward time) it is actually very challenging and some of the puzzles took some time to figure out. The only complain I have is that there are not enough levels in my opinion. All in all, it was worth it.

This game(?) isn't really a game. I'm not sure what you'd call it since there is no real game play, just constant scrolling left and right. I don't normally pay for an unknown game(?) but it was recommended on YouTube and it was an editors choice. This game(?) is the reason I will NEVER pay first for a game before at least a free trial period. I wish I could get my money back for this waste of an app (it is NOT a game). You have hurt a lot of other app developers with this piece of trash (that is a better description than game is), because I won't trust buying their apps without a free trial.

I don’t download games a lot and when I do they are puzzle games like Room, House of DaVinci, Machinarium, Botanicula, Samarost. Many years ago I played Myst series and even very old school: The Manhole. I love those games and play them over again because there are just a few well-made puzzle games. Others are disappointing. The Gardens in Between is absolutely unique and possibly the most creative puzzle game I’ve played in my 57 years. Gameplay involves what I considered memory islands and involve gathering light into a lantern, time shifting, jumping boxes, fog bridges, and using electricity and old technology (like printing) in creative ways. There is a wholesome bond between two friends that you see in memories. I had a tear or two at the end. One thing about gameplay that I found was that I didn’t get immersed for hours when playing. I would complete an island and then I’d typically stop and play another day. I think this was because the goal each time was sort of similar (get a lighted lantern to the top). But it was quite an interesting diversion and that is basically the biggest thing you want from a game app. Well done! I look forward to what you create later on.

For some other similar games, I have given up and looked up how to solve the puzzles, but these make sense. Some are more challenging than others, but they are solvable. Beyond that, the theme is really sweet, and I enjoy the artwork. This is my favorite iPad game.

Just the puzzle games, do you know

This game is one of the top 5 games I've played on the iPad, right up there with Edith Finch, Wild Rift, and Wolf Among Us.

I wanted a cozy game I could play in between doom scrolling, I’m amazed at how beautiful this game is. I’m blown away!
