The Collage Atlas

I cannot summarize the beauty this game brings. I come to this game when I cannot handle how I’m feeling, and I leave mesmerized, inspired, calm and emotional all at once. The music is calming, the aesthetic and artwork is mesmerizing, and the overall feeling I get cannot be described. I hope for more from John William. The man truly knows his craft.

Such a lovely and calming world the designer created. It’s not quite a game. It’s more of a guided experience. It’s exactly what I’ve been yearning for. The poetry and the interactive features is brilliant. It feels like a semi active form of meditation. I love it. Could not be better.

I don’t usually rate apps. But this was just something else. It uplifts the spirit, it encourages the weary, and it urges the heavy hearted to keep moving, because whatever lies behind, there’s always the future. Thank you so much for this piece of art.

I don’t like giving up on things without putting in my due diligence, but this game made me want to cry. There were no tutorials, no directions and nothing made sense. The descriptors used to advertise the game were so amazing I couldn’t wait to see all “the beauty, losing myself in the art” etc., etc. I never got that far. I only crashed my flying dude about a hundred times in an embarrassing display. Developers: we all weren’t born with a joystick in our hands, or a computer screen as entertainment. Video games were not always the main source of life for lots of people. Directions, tutorials, user-friendly game-play makes more sense than imagining we all know everything about games and how to play them. Frustration just makes us dump them for some that make sense to a normal person.

I don’t know what it is, but I can’t move around in this game. The book is always opening and I can’t figure out how to simply move through the space on my iPhone and there’s no instructions to help me.

I just started playing this and I must say, this is a near perfect game. It is extremely captivating, with hand drawn visuals tied in with enchanting sound. I found it a magical world, with something fun for any time. The flying game is a relaxing test of movement capabilities, and the original game is an amazing venture into the unknown. I do however have a few suggestions. First of all, I think that the way you move your screen to look around should be a little different. I would like to have an option to be able to drag my finger instead of having to hold it down. I would also love to see more crosshair options, and maybe also a way to jump, or some kind of elevation to climb on top of. Otherwise, I definitely recommend this game, and if you have Apple Arcade, there is no reason not to try it out.

When the world we live in is too much, this "game" is the perfect escape. It's like entering into another world...a beautiful world that reminds us we will make it through everything life can throw at us. You lose your worries and anxieties in this new world, and you come away with a sense of peace and well being that stays with you. Thank you for creating this. We need more.

I’m a writer and marketer by profession, so I’m normally good with my words. But this game leaves me speechless. “Game.” I use that loosely. I don’t see a game when I play this. I see … Therapy. Peace. I see myself. I got emotional in the first 30 minutes. A world of papers and memories and letters in the clouds with anchors of restlessness and uncertainty. Oh my gosh. The ability to interact with this world peacefully but also face ideas that weigh on my heart every day. “I chase a never of tomorrows knowing only a forever of todays.” I recently learned as an adult that I had ADHD, and so this particularly resonated with me, especially as it related to an anchor. I’m successful… and yet, “in time I grow weary.” Who made this game? Who so perfectly captured my mind, my heart. I dream in words and flight. Now I can hold my phone and show my husband “This is how I feel,” and have the perfect image and sounds to communicate the noise in my mind that I can’t otherwise seem to shape yet. Thank you. 💜 Thank you for this.

Beautiful graphics and calming music but no one gave them a single good idea on what to do with all of it.

When you go fishing with the stars it is hard to find something in the water. I am also clueless.
