Roterra Reviews

The game was an interesting twist on the search and click to advance idea but the fact you can only play to level 7 then there is no solution and no hints leaves the game with a frustrating and rapid end. It was a good time killer, now i have to delete the game and move on, what a shame.

Update: the developer actually responded to my review which is a shocker. Apparently there is no purchase to continue issue, i just got stuck and help was offered if i take a screenshot of the area i was having trouble with. I have already deleted the game so i would have to reinstall and work up to the 7th level once again, which I will not be doing, but for the response I am going to upgrade my star rating for the game.

This game is definitely one of my favorites on my iPad right now! I love the concept and I think the graphics are super neat.

Definitely has its issues though. Some of the controls are just not as responsive as they should be and that’s even while using a big screen. The other thing that takes away from the game is the inability to pan the camera. I would like to be able to move the view around because sometimes your player does get stuck in a weird corner or behind a wall. It seems like it should be an option, and I find myself intuitively trying to do so while playing.

Other than that I am enjoying it and it’s a fun challenge at times!

Bottom line: The puzzles are good and get harder and more interesting with each level.

The graphics are unpleasant at times. Less is more, try shading like Monument Valley instead of the three dimensional graphics. Interior castle graphics are the best. However, the mosaic puzzle in level XVIII might be seizure inducing.

The tandem characters are annoying especially when the character toggles obscure the game. I’d like to be able to change the viewing angle.

This is honestly one of the best games ever created. I played this game a while back and wanted to write a review and then read some Sissyboy (no joke) tear this beautiful, creative, highly intelligent game to pieces with some whiny complaint about wanting money back. Hey you can charge me again just to refund this guy so that he goes away. Plz. This is an awesome game! It was pure joy playing it. Each level becomes more challenging, but each puzzle is logical and makes sense. Sometimes you have to look at things from another angle- I love that! I also never sent a game where the developers responded to each and every review. Very impressive! This is such a creative group of people. And now... did I see a sequel coming soon?!!!!! So excited. If you thinking whether to get this game, GET IT! Don’t read that hater’s review who wants the money back. He couldn’t get past level two that’s obvious. The beauty of this game is it’s simplicity and those who find it “boring” missed the entire point of it. Can’t wait for the sequel!!!!! Thank you for a really great game!!!!

this app is one of the best puzzle games I’ve played in a while. You get a lot of play for the $$ and there are even bonus levels at the end. While I got stuck on occasion I never needed a walkthrough but simply put it down for a while. Coming back later was always rewarding! I never wanted this app to end. Graphics are charming and gameplay is challenging sometimes but always fun. Great game and I preordered the upcoming sequel. Can’t wait. Bring it devs!

I’m loving playing this game! Invariably this will be compared to monument valley. Though very similar they play differently. I love them both. I will definitely be buying the pack with the other games. Fair warning to those new to this game. You won’t be able to put it down! Have fun and thanks developers!

I got this because I read reviews comparing it to Monument Valley, and I couldn’t be happier! The world is fun to look at, and I love how it makes you look at everything around you differently! I opened it this morning with my coffee, intending to just check it out, and here I am, on my second cup, absorbed. Thank you to the glorious addition to my morning routine!

Awesome game/puzzle where one has to see things differently. Totally enjoyable: music, art, challenge. I was sad when it was over. Make more! I'm glad I found this game, the style really appeals to me so I've been looking for others like it -- a huge thanks to the creators of this app for an excellent game and for introduction to something new. I'm waiting for your next creation!

I haven’t played such an addicting game in a long time. (As the other two comments stated: monument valley on steroids - I had to give it a try) this game is sooooo fun! The design and layout is beautiful and gameplay is simple, at first I thought it was going to be an easy game to beat. However the levels increase in difficulty so softly you won’t notice until you are really stuck! I love this game and I hope the creators make a second.

This game is very well designed, is fun to play, and has a wonderful 3D rotation element to it. It gradually gets more difficult, without getting frustrating. I never had to use hints the whole time. All 20 levels are solidly designed and thoughtfully laid out. Would love an expansion pack with more levels or a sequel game that uses the same engine. Hats off to the devs for something different and a step forward.

I don’t play a lot of games but a friend recommended this to me since it was a featured game. When I looked at the store page, the video really drew me in so I decided to buy it, and so far I am glad I did.

I am not that far into the game but some of the puzzles are throwing me for a loop. I like the art style as it sort of pulls me into another world. When a tree just pops out of the ground, that is so neat. Anyone that likes puzzles or brain teaser games will love this game set in a very unique world. Well done, you might get me playing more games now.

This game is by far the best new game I have played in years! The developers created a world that is visually captivating and feels very M. C. Escher-ish at times. It was challenging enough to feel satisfied when completing a level, without being so difficult that I lost interest or had to go in search of cheats. I didn’t realize it was only 20 levels, so was super bummed this morning when it was over. Is there a chance for a sequel or other similarly designed game in the future? Thanks for the fun!

I haven’t downloaded a really good puzzle game in a long time, the last ones I thought were this good were Monument Valley and it’s sequel but this is no copycat and really holds its own; the theme, feel, and action are more exciting whereas MV was more meditative. I’m on level 20 and am really enjoying this, I’ve been getting lost for hours and am going to miss it after I finish! There is a reset button that takes you back to the last accomplishment you earned in each level if you get stuck (not the beginning of the level), a hint system that shows you cause and effect of what moves you made, and you can turn the music and sounds off if you want. I recommend this game highly if you like puzzle games like Monument Valley. It’s not a fast paced action game or shoot ‘em up game. It’s a rotating puzzle game with interesting mazes and nice, detailed scenery to get immersed in.

I absolutely love this game! It’s great stimulation for the brain. Each level becomes more difficult or offers something different. The type of person that gets bored with this game probably masters everything in 5 minutes and gets bored with everything! I for one am enjoying every second while experiencing a multitude of emotions, from frustration to elation but never boredom. I’m disappointed that I only have two levels left. And the icing on the cake is that their is no in-app purchase just the small up front fee. More than worth it!!

I was looking for games along the lines of Monument Valley and this fit the bill. The mechanics are the same throughout, but there are enough twists to keep it interesting. Not sure how long it took me overall, but I played two or three of the 20 levels a day. There are some bonus puzzles at the end. I’ll definitely buy the other this app puzzles now, and am happy to be supporting a woman-owned business! This was a great intro - found it through recommendations on Reddit. Big thanks to the developers for designing this and offering it for free!

Excellent *spiritual* successor to Monument Valley.

I loved the way the worlds were based upon cubes, and the mechanics that involved 2nd characters. Music was a tad repetitive and I'd personally like the ability to zoom in andout, along with being able to pan and spin independently of movement, but these are minor quibbles that don't otherwise detract from a quality offering.

All in all this was a great little game from this dev team and I'm excited to see what else they deliver in the future.

If anyone is on the fence after seeing the very few negative reviews, ignore them and look at all the 4 and 5 star ones and remember that there's some folk out there who delight in criticizing even though they themselves would be unable to do any better.

I'm a cheap so and so. I very very rarely pay for games (preferring to wait for either free or heavily discounted ones), and rarer see till do I pay for any from new developers with no proven track record. Tickled pink I gambled and won with this one.

Like one reviewer stated, “it’s like Monument Valley on steroids”. That’s what made me give it a try, and that it had so many levels. I read through the other reviews and giggled at the one star, which compared this to Machinarium, AND, said it was too easy after only 2-3 levels. This is not even the same type of game, so you need to go elsewhere. If you like Monument Valley, you’ll love this. And, this gets harder fast...as the levels progress. You continually have to change how you look at things, which is brilliant! The Devs have done an amazing job by making it beautiful environment that changes just when you get comfy. Perfect! Bravo!

Beautifully functional graphics, easy learning curve, smooth movement control and to my great pleasure, an incredibly high level of re-playability. Well worth the price as it has lots of levels (20, I think, but I may be wrong) and goes from relatively simple to incredibly complex. First time through took me a while...a long, satisfying experience. But in my case, never too hard to eventually get right. And the graphics really are beautiful, especially the waterfalls and the green glow in the “dungeon” levels.

On nearly every level of this game, what seemed impossible led to an “Aha!” moment and a great sense of accomplishment. Well Done! More please...😺

Addendum: I am on my eighth trip through this game and am still finding more to love! And yes, guys, FOUND THE ROCK SPIDERS!!! Truly engrossing and rewarding game. Again I say well done! Sequel? Bonus levels? Action figures?😺

I don’t do social media so I’ll skip the stickers 😺 but thanks! I certainly FEEL like your number one fan! You make more levels and continue being clever and I’ll keep playing...keep up the great work!

Update: the method provided by the developer worked to choose a level. It’s not the easiest method to find (I thought the yellow arrow was like a play button, not a next button). Great game with a few menu issues, but 5 stars! Original review below.

I was enjoying the game and made it to level five, when I decided to restart the level. Unfortunately the menu controls are absurd and there is no way that I could find to select a different level and it sent me back to the beginning of the game - level 1! I chose ‘continue’ after to try to get back to level 5, but it sent me back into the beginning of 1. What’s the point of playing if you’ll need to start from scratch every time you want to change levels? Very disappointing.

A beautifully designed game that’s well worth the cost. At every level; I feared that it would be over because so many games of this caliber are far too short. While I wish it could’ve continued forever; a full 20 levels of challenging (but not too challenging), exquisitely conceived game play, left me feeling satisfied.
