    Gorogoa's thousands of illustrations coalesce into a cleverly designed puzzler that's as compelling to play as it is to watch.

    With its sense of artistic cohesion and its inventiveness, Gorogoa impressed me as few other puzzle games have, and I can't see any player who enjoys puzzle games even a bit not enjoying it. It might not be the longest game in App Store history, but it also doesn't overstay its welcome, which can be an issue with story-heavy puzzle games. Gorogoa really is a gem of a game that belongs on most people's devices and one that will cast its magic on you as soon as you start playing.

    Gorogoa is a fantastic puzzle game. Its mechanics are simple, but they get used in immensely creative ways and intertwine seamlessly with some gorgeous artwork and intriguing storytelling. If you’re looking for your next new favorite puzzle adventure on mobile, this is it.

    This is one of those rare times when a game simply wouldn’t work on any platform other than mobile. Gorogoa is a tactile experience, one that demands to be poked and explored. And you’re going to have a brilliant time doing just that.

    Gorogoa is a stunning work of art and an unique videogame that shouldn't be missed.

    This may be the fuzziest narrative I’ve ever had to tackle, open to a great many different interpretations, but that’s just part of the game’s elegance and brilliance. Even without understanding it, I can still safely say Gorogoa is one of the best puzzle games to ever grace my iPad.

    Melancholic expedition to magical realism that emphasizes the artistic power of an independent scene. We definitely recommend the game on a mobile platform, it fits better there. [Issue#282]

    Did you ever want to enter the world of some lovingly-crafted illustration? This game offers at least that. By the last part of the game,Did you ever want to enter the world of some lovingly-crafted illustration? This game offers at least that. By the last part of the game, maybe you will grow tired of hunting images for elusive details to fit together, but it's an easy fix to that: don't take it all in one sitting, even if the whole experience only takes a few hours to get through.

    The game aims higher than just being an audio-visual treat, though. The nifty mechanic of advancing your character through finding connections between parts of images is used as a metaphor for advancing on our spiritual journey through life. It's about following an epiphany, about seeing the inter-connectedness of everything, about pushing forward when the going gets hard, and in the end, finding meaning: the last piece of the puzzle to be put together, is your very life.

    Does it succeed? I'd say that if if stirred your mind and soul, it did a pretty damn fine job. If you're the right kind of person, this game will offer you some genuine moments of insight and amazement. But maybe you're not that type, in which case, this game is just some artsy-fartsy work of love pretty well-put-together by a guy who grew bored with his well-paying tech job, the poor idiot.    … Expand

    美术设计是卖点。游戏融合经典解密和漫画式场景分镜解密，刚上手玩有点懵。没有玩法提示，前期玩着完全靠瞎点理解游戏机制。了解机制后解密就很快了。个人作品流程比较短。美术设计是卖点。游戏融合经典解密和漫画式场景分镜解密，刚上手玩有点懵。没有玩法提示，前期玩着完全靠瞎点理解游戏机制。了解机制后解密就很快了。个人作品流程比较短。

    极具创意的解谜游戏，利用不同的画面的组合进行解谜，实乃独到。可惜流程实在是有些短。

It's beautiful and the person who made it is clearly a genius but it's just not much fun and personally I didn't find it a deep or moving experience that some seem to think.… Expand
