✓ Great game, needs a bit of polishThis is an absolutely amazing game. It is challenging but not overly difficult, attractive, and clever. I did encounter the same bug several times when trying to mute the music (it would just start playing again and the mute control would stop working), and I wish the game had a more satisfying ending, but all in all it's a great game with a really wonderful mechanic. Many have compared it to Monument Valley, and if you enjoyed that then you will almost definitely enjoy this, but it definitely doesn't have the same level of polish. Unlike monument valley, which introduces new mechanics in pretty much every level, this is roughly the exact same mechanic and same level of difficulty the entire time. That being said, they budgets of the two games are surely nowhere close to each other, and this game is definitely worth the purchase..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Amazing!This is a very well put together game. Graphics are nice and simple, the music is soothing and immersive, couple this with basic controls and it's a winner! It has a flavour of Monument Valley about it that makes it an addictive game to play. I love Monument Valley and love this too! Bring on the extra levels, and fast! Playing the levels makes you think outside of the box and in to 3 and 4 dimensions in order to get your cube to its hole. Some levels just fall in to place where others take some time. Brilliant and effective, well done to the developers as they have created a game that is addictive. I couldn't put it down at one point and 45 mins later I have only solved a few levels! Fantastic devs, thanks!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Exactly what I expected and moreGreat choice of audio, I would suggest more of a deep, dungeon sounding door noise with a little reverb for the drop of the cube, it would fit better with the minimalist white environment. Reminds me of antichamber game for pc. Making the models 3D would be cool. So you could rotate and create your own perspective. Also an inverted color scheme, all black backdrop, white platform. If even go as far as creating dead ends and square holes you'd have to drop through to land on an isolated platform to progress. Great game! I wouldn't go as far as creating a build mode yet, I believe you have a few more tricks up your sleeve that could make the game reach its potential. This could even be ported to pc and console. Great game!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great gameReally makes you think, some are dead easy, then you come across a real mind blender. The instructions to making up your own puzzle are not simplified I guess I must try harder. Really good not having adds popping up every few moves. Well done..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Awesome!!This game is amazing, I really like it. Keep the good work 😁.Version: 1.9.0
✓ About timeAbout time a game that I can use my grey cells.. Like I don't have to match 3 or more things the same to pop. Or run around shooting and hitting bugs, monsters, zombies and other beings.. Thank you, thank you and once again thank you.....Version: 1.7.0
✓ Great game!This game is extremely fun and easy to get a hang at. If you like puzzle games I would recommend playing this game as so far I have not found it too hard but still challenging enough to make it fun. I do have one suggestion and that is if you are playing with headphones or the volume is turned up on your phone you might want to go to the music settings in the main menu( it is really easy to find and is to the left of the play button) and click on the thing that says fx and then start playing. This turns off the sound the box makes when it moves and even though it sounds like somethings missing the sound the box makes when it moves will start to really annoy you and in my case- and I'm sure some others- it will give you a headache and hurt your ears. I do wish the would change though because I think it doesn't sound right without some sort of sound when the box moves but having no sound is better than having the sound it has right now. Besides that this game is fun and has some cool optical illusions that the shapes make..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Very relaxingOk, I haven't been playing long and you can race through the levels but I find this app really useful to refocus my mind and relax me in preparation for my afternoon..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Some people are just sillyThis game it's AMAZING it blew my mind it it so creative and so clever it's one of my favorite game I would highly recomend this game to people who want to buy... Don't read bad reviews.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Ooh Yes!My new favourite game. It just twists your mind just that little bit :) Putting a square box in a square hole is a little more challenging than I'd thought. Keep up the good work :) Thanks.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Interesting challengeOkay everyone it's my turn to rate this game. As you can see I didn't give it five stars. It's not that I didn't like the challenge of each one. It makes you think of how to accomplish each puzzle. What I didn't like is, I spent money to play this App. Yes it didn't break me, but there should be more puzzles to play. Just when you are getting into playing them and your wanting to play the next one, there's no more. I understand that there can't be a 1,001 puzzles to play, but I personally feel there should be more than there is. This is my feelings and not yours. To find out play this app and find out for yourself..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Fun, pretty and smart.Just what I like in this type of game. The minimalistic style really just works with the gameplay. Great value too! I have recommended it to my friends and colleagues, they love it as well. 👍.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great gameHahsh... You're the one needing help for saying inappropriate things to people who bought the game just because they did something differently to what you did. And it's your fault for not understanding the controls and unable to complete the levels, it's a puzzle game for a reason because it's supposed to be hard, your not going to be spoon fed the solutions to complete every level. Anyways I think this is a great game and the simplicity makes it better.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Challenging puzzlesGreat puzzles navigating through Escher-esque constructions to get to your destination. Challenge your mind to see find the twists and turns needed to get through..Version: 1.9.0
✓ My new favouriteThis is so addictive and quite frustrating in a good way. When I have completed one I try,try, etc to do it again, not simple but I keep on until I get it again, there's the frustration. Thank you to who wrote tap the destination corner, also I have found to work back from the end makes more sense for me I can distinguish the greys better..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Brief polished puzzlerLike walking an Escher picture, this puzzle game is simple and polished, though brief. A fun hour or two of mind-warping fun..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Like a more simple, graphically speaking, Monument ValleySimilar to Monument valley in action but simpler graphics. The gameplay is actually more challenging and although can be played through random action, is more satisfying by trying to predict and follow a chosen path. Truly three dimensional gameplay if only viewed through a two dimensional simulation. Really cool!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Don't think... Just do!!!I like this game but you can't you use any sort of logic. As the diagrams are all optical illusions, they don't make sense so sometimes it's guess work to get the block in the hole. However it's a lot of fun. I play this when relaxing and do a couple of levels at a time. As you get into the higher levels it doesn't necessarily get harder which in a game like this is good, a little reprieve. Thoroughly enjoy every level..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Hours of challenging funIt seems simple at first, but it fast becomes challenging. Hours of fun, with M. C. Escher-inspired puzzles..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Great game. Just one thing.Can we get iCloud progress sync. Just installed the game on my iPad and none of my progress is a available and if I want to play on that device I have start from level 1 again..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Entertaining and cerebralI really liked this game and would love to see more games like this. However, I never understood to paradox shapes and ended up just moving around until I got there. I found that somewhat dissatisfying..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Calming and challengingA joy to play and a great way to wind down while still being challenged..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Fascinating and ChallengingI NEED MORE LEVELS PLEASE !!! Yes, I finished all of them. Please add more levels to challenge me! I dare you 😉.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Really gets you thinkingI think this game is perfect. The music is calming, and it gets you to sit down and stop every single worry and problem and just have fun with this lovely puzzle and problem solving game. It turns on a side of your brain that I think needs to be used more often these days. It is also very enjoyable and deserves 4 stars. Keep up the good work!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Challenging Yet RelaxingI have admired M.C. Escher's work for years, especially the 'impossible' triangles and other shapes. This game captures the essence of that art and forces (in a good way) the player to think outside the box and see connections and proximity of paths that could never occur in the real 3-D world. Once the player understands the principles of the game and can think like Escher, the puzzles become straight-forward and can be solved rapidly, though sometimes even when the player thinks he/she understands the puzzle a dead end seems to appear. However, with careful analysis each puzzle has a solution. I recommend this game to anyone who likes to think and is not put off by minimalist graphics; graphics are perfect for the puzzles themselves, but there's no real background. One isn't necessary, though to fully enjoy the game..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Simply addictiveFor all the simplicity of its design, Hocus is both beautiful and interesting. You cannot "lose" and you can take as much time as you like to complete these puzzles, all of which require just a little adapting of the mind. The puzzles are worth playing more than once, as the challenge then becomes finding the shortest possible route to completion. Every clever puzzle will have you hooked. If you're like me and will sit down for hours once caught by puzzles, you can finish all the puzzles in just a couple hours or even less. With more puzzles coming in the future, there will be plenty more to look forward to, and with no more background music than a wind chime drone they'll be as worth playing as the first puzzle set..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Love It!Loved the mental challenge & simplicity of early games like Boulderdash, Tetris, and more recently Monument Valley. Like the latter this is incredibly addictive and I can see me completing it quickly. Not sure yet about additional level (looks like there is 100 available); but I would definitely buy more. I wonder if an algorithm could be easily developed to generate potentially limitless games, as the generation of a path and solution could presumably be automated? This would be a great add-on purchase!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ GreatLove the whole style but I wish there was an option to skip the level or just progress to another level and come back later, I'm stuck on a level and I can't find any solutions online..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Mindbending funSimilar to Monument Valley, this game takes geometry to a whole new level. It's slow and peaceful, except for the high-pitched squeak as the cube rolls around. Move red cube around a stark Escher-esque landscape where the top of one rod suddenly becomes the side to another--it's bizarre in a good way. The built-in levels can be hard to solve or fast; depends. The editor feature lets you create levels and play other user-created levels. That's challenging and more fun. Turn FX off--the rolling squeak is just bad--and get ready to think..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Small price, big experienceThis game is amazing for the price. The gentle music playing in the background as you work your way around the puzzles is very relaxing. The game is based on illusions so sometimes you just have to move around the cube experimentally. Totally recommended. You really can't go wrong at $1.50..Version: 2.2.2
✓ AWESOME!Hocus is an awesome little puzzle game perfect for passing time. But there's one thing I'd love to see... an Apple Watch port for the game! It would be awesome! And the Digital Crown could be the navigator to control the cube! Hope you read this and consider my idea :).Version: 1.0.0
✓ Illusion upon illusionMind bending illusions test both you vision and your imagination, it's the very best game of its type that has been on sale for some time. I'm almost reluctant to complete the available puzzles so far. More, 😳 more, 😜 well done to all concerned and thank you.Version: 1.0.0
✓ A-mazed!This game is just fantastic, it's tricking my brain so much and the people who did it have some crazy 3D mind!! Why are you wasting your time reading this, just buy it!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Cool 😎 mind game!!I enjoy this app and game, makes you concentrate and the 3D it awesome!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Challenging offline gameThis game is a great game to play while your offline..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Love this gameA simple premise but sufficiently challenging to keep me enthralled. The chilled music added another dimension. Overall experience was like spending some time chilling in a gorgeous garden. Very Zen. 😌.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Fun & Challenging Mental ExerciseHocus is a game really like no other I've ever played, on iOS or anywhere else, and I have played a lot of puzzle games. It challenges your faculty of visuospatial reasoning in a challenging & original way, and makes me feel like I'm exercising mental muscle groups I forgot I had, in a very good way. Some levels can be tricky to solve, but never in a way that feels arbitrary or cheap. Half the time I find myself solving a problem either by pure intuition or, failing that, brute force trial & error, only to go back & replay the level to figure out what the hell it was that I did. From that standpoint, the game is exceedingly well designed & does not feel like just another addictive time waster (though in the right (wrong?) hands, such as mine, it can certainly qualify as that too). Add to that an elegant, minimalist aesthetic & a meditative, eastern-influenced soundtrack, and you've got yourself a 5-star game, easily. Extremely well done & highly recommended..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Addictive and thought provoking!Good game and very fun when you start to be able to see the paths unfold in front of you as you play it more and more!.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Percent done meterI LOVE the game! Right now I’m on level 48. Maybe you can add a meter to the bottom that will show how close you are..Version: 2.3.0
✓ IloveitI love this game.Version: 1.8.0
✓ CaptivantUn jumelage de vision spatiale et de fausses perspectives hallucinant. J'adore..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Nice Relaxing GameI love the simplicity of hocus and how relaxing it is. The little puzzles get more challenging over time, but never in a frustrating way. Some may say that it’s too basic, but I appreciate the muted color scheme, dreamy music, and the game’s ability to get you to just focus on moving the little cube around to its goal. I love to play when I’m stressed or just want to do something calming. My only disappointment was that I eventually ran out of puzzles. So I’m very glad hocus 2 was released!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Addicting like madI cannot stop playing😄.Version: 1.8.0
✓ The best puzzle game!This is by far my favorite puzzle game on any platform ever! Thanks for making such a great game!!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ NiceNice.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Relaxing, Mind BlowingA game were you think it will be impossible but when completed you will be amazed and left thinking and with the nice soothing music, it's a great game to pass time. 5/5 stars!.Version: 1.6.0
✓ Good gameHas kept me occupied now for over a month. Worth the money.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Beautiful and thoughtfulI love puzzle games. Every once in a while I'll find a masterpiece, and Hocus is one of them! As their description mentions, Hocus using special manipulation much like Monument Valley (another great game), and should please any Monument Valley fan and make Monument Valley proud to be the inspiration for this beautiful, simplistic yet challenging puzzle game. I've been waiting for more thought-provoking puzzle games like Hocus, while more gameplay-and-less-puzzle apps have swarmed the market. I can't wait to see what kinds of updates and new levels are in store for Hocus fans. A must have for true puzzle enthusiasts!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Actually a really good gameThe gameplay is fun and addictive, you'll get stuck for sure but coming back a week later it'll all just make sense for some reason. The ads don't get in the way and I haven't noticed any micro-transactions. Great game 5/7.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Great brain gameI like it, challenging and rewarding.Version: 1.7.0
✓ NeatIt's a pretty cool game, once you get into it it can become a little repetitive but it's definitely worth it..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Great game but shortGreat game, very fun but found it far to short was finished the same day as purchased. Only 3 or 4 levels took longer then 5mins or so. Still well worth the money. would just be good to have more levels and with some higher difficulty ones as well..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Best puzzler, brain breakingThe best part for me is not the create a level but the fact that once I admit that I am having trouble with a level I complete it. It is just to easy, only problem is with the controls, everything else is easy to do..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Great way to waste some timeFab game that really tests your special awareness. Starts off very easy but soon becomes challenging. I got this for free, but would happily have paid for it..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Perfect DistractionThis game is perfect for occupational and distractive therapy! Or just for fun! I can't help myself from continuing to play it's so much fun! ** UPDATE** I just completed level 100 and will be making my own levels now, this game is SO MUCH FUN.Version: 1.9.0
✓ An excellent little puzzler!As a big fan of the monument valley games, I thought I'd give this one a go, at only 79p a bargain, I thought! So many puzzlers are the bog standard 2d side scrollers but this one breaks that mould and gets you to work in a totally different dimension. When you think you're on the right track, one change of direction will have you upside down or behind the shape! I managed to complete the game in a day and am looking forward to the future updates. Get it while it's cheap :).Version: 1.2.0
✓ Great gameJust finished the last level then. It was an amazing game, can't wait for more..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great, relaxing mind-bending puzzlesThis is a nice little game to get enough of a challenge in while perhaps waiting in line, relaxing after a tough day or challenge the kids to stretch their imaginations a bit. Some levels are trickier than others but they’re all quite doable without any kind of hint system or walkthrough. Reminds me of a much more simplistic and less-involved version of The Bridge (which is another great game I’m still waiting for on mobile). A bit of a mind-bending puzzle game. You can tap or swipe to lead the block around. Not sure why another reviewer broke their phone as you certainly don’t need to tap or swipe that hard. Calibration shouldn’t be that intense..Version: 2.2.3
✓ HooplaCriticSo I'm like, " Whaaat!? There's an app that has all the physically impossible puzzles!?!? Where can I find this?" So go on to the App Store, find Hocus, (Not Pocus) click the 0.99 button up there on the port side of your screen, and enter my password which is *****^*^^**%#*** ( You didn't really think I would give it to you) and play it till I fall asleep an hour later. Yeah, it's a good addictive game, so good, I woke up and found myself playing it in my sleep, while dreaming of it lmbo. Anyways, great game! Good job! Not too much money! Hocus Pocus! P.s. Not Pocus.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Excellent if...It will be excellent if there is a dark mode with dark background for iPhone X users..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Great PuzzlerAs mentioned in the title, this game is a great puzzler and really makes you look at the same puzzle in many different ways. I would have given it 5 stars, but I felt that it could have done with a story element, like Monument Valley has. Nonetheless, it's still very much worth the £0.79, and if there was a 4.5 star option, I would have selected that..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Mind bending challengeThe best puzzle/maze I have found anywhere! The hard part is waiting for more puzzles and challenges. Wonderful brain food!!!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Very innovative and funDownloaded this game to fill a bit of time, it's really smart actually, development must have been difficult! Can't stop playing it though...😂.Version: 1.7.0
✓ ElegentNice game - Simple to play but challenging and appealing to children and adults.Version: 1.8.0
✓ BrillGreat game. Review that states not easy to get to grips with controls. Don't know why it was hard. Controls straight forward. Coz of the optical illusions of the puzzles it looks like it's not going where it should, but this is agreed puzzler and I keep coming back for more and more.Version: 1.7.0
✓ 10/10 is worthI'd only been playing this for an hour and a bit and my head started to violently throb. My new favourite game ever. Doctor said to not play it for a while but I can't stop. Please send help. I love it.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Finally, a challenging puzzle game!I got this app for free when it was App Of The Week, but I would gladly pay for it if I had to. The mechanics of this game are slightly reminiscent of the game Monument Valley, but with a cleaner, simpler layout. The game started with about 60 levels when I downloaded it, and the levels got progressively more difficult as you went along. Once I completed all 60 (it took a few weeks!) the game received an update and added an additional 40 levels, even more challenging than the previous levels (while it is coincidental that I got new levels right after I completed all the old ones, new players will still be able to play all 100 levels). The game is addicting, sometimes rage-inducing, and tons of fun. I've already recommended it to all my friends, and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good puzzle..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Thought provoking gameI really enjoyed this game it tests your minds ability to another level. I found the game to use whenever I'm on the toilet and I flew though the first 15-20 levels until my mate knocked on the bathroom door asking if I was still alive then I realised I had been in there for 20 minutes with my pants around my ankles. Over all I would recommend this game if you like a good fun mind challenging game.Version: 1.7.0
✓ A lot of fun to play.If you like games that make you think then you will like this game. If you look for things to pick apart and criticize, don't bother downloading this, or any other game for that matter, as you will inevitably find something wrong with it. That being said, the game is fun, simple, and fairly challenging at time. The levels are not necessarily increasingly hard, but more so consistently different. It appears toward the end of the game the designer has added levels designed by users and that certainly adds an aspect to the game. Download it, play it and remember that you are asked for a review of the game as it has been designed. That does not include what "could have been included", or physics you believe would have helped the game. Naturally, those can and should be included in your review of the game, but they should not alter the current review of the game as published. My only concern thus far is, considering I downloaded the game yesterday and I'm 10 levels from finishing it, my suggestion would be to add more levels STAT!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Perfection in problem solvingSince I discovered rop I've loved the apps these guys make.. I love the challenge on the brain and this game is no different.. This is perfect for the why I think and problem solve in day to day life.. Keep these puzzles, challenges and apps coming guys...Version: 1.7.0
✓ Mind bending funI think this is honestly one of the best puzzle games I've played. It is brilliant visually, difficult enough to keep you invested, with a clear feeling of accomplishment when you finally figure out one that has really left you guessing. No nagging ads, fantastic design..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Up there with the bestI love this puzzler it really plays tricks with your eyes looks great and gradually gets harder so you don't get frustrated and stuck for weeks in 1 level a must for any true puzzle fan..Version: 1.7.0
✓ SWEET GAME!!!!!Great game keep the levels coming!!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Not rushed, and you don't lose lives…PERFECT!I love apps that don't make you "die", or "lose lives". This is a brilliant puzzle game that allows you time to think without rushing you, without timing you, without scoring you, without the fear of failure of falling off the path, without feeling as though you failed if you can't figure it out, because you can always backtrack your steps and try another route. It's very positive and Zen-like, because it's not a win-lose game. You either figure it out or you don't and you're not penalized or rewarded… It simply is what it is. And yes it reminds me a lot of Monument Valley though without the really cool animations (that one would be hard to top).Version: 1.0.0
✓ ExcellentIt isn't a puzzle that you solve methodologically or logically. It's more of a maze, but that doesn't mean it's not a great game..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Awesome game. ❤️I already finished 100 levels and the app hasn't been updated since September 2016, so it would be much appreciated if someone could update the game with brand new levels please! 🙂.Version: 1.9.0
✓ YayYay.......... This is a pretty cool game. I’m so glad there r like no adds. Wish if there were better prizes/hints. #Zzzzz.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Great gameThis game is great and I love it but one thing I’d like to suggest to add to the game is hints. Most puzzle games like this one have hints or skip levels. So maybe add on of those. Like I said, just a suggestion..Version: 2.2.2
✓ So addictive!!I'm only up to level 12, but I can see this becoming a full time hobby!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Gfg one of the bestNeed more levels great job.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Simply spectacularIf you love M C Escher esque puzzle games, this is the one to play. 120 levels that get harder as you play, also comes eith a level editor so you can build your own and share levels with others. I cannot recommend this game enough.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Trippy!Well done on this! Keeps you thinking, and it's not one of those you can quickly hit a rhythm on and beat..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Brilliant idea!This game, like a 2D puzzle maze, encourages one to plan ahead rather than move the cube in random directions until you get it right. Good for the visual brain! Pleasing simple design aesthetic..Version: 1.9.0
✓ OriginalGotta keep thinking in reverse to solve. Very interesting. Love he minimal look and feel..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Pretty good puzzle game!I have a recommendation though: There could be a higher game level which is played similar like a memory game. The player would not play step by step but she'd enter a series of moves which will solve the level in a single shot. Level hardness may be adjusted via number of shots. If the entered input doesn't lead to a solution, the game should backstep to the starting position. This way, it'd be more exciting to play and makes you think harder (eg. imagining a few steps ahead)..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Great, could use a restart buttonIt is a great and simple game to play but u can't restart the level if u stuff up. That would be the only thing I would change..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Very very very goodCan't believe how good this is. Completely addictive, doesn't ask you for money, stupidly simple yet beautifully complicated. Great job on this, well done. Can't wait for the new levels!.Version: 1.3.0
✓ AddictifWow c'est un super jeu je ne peu plus arrêter d'y jouer.Version: 1.9.0
✓ BEST GAME EVERI am constantly playing this game. And I LOVE it. The challenge of the puzzle contrasts great with the soothing music. I find it fun and relaxing. The only problem is now I've finished the game and don't know what to do in my spare time😂.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Great gameThis is a quality game that has brought me many hours of entertainment.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Good game but im writing this to get it to shut upTrippy af.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Best yetThis is probably the best puzzle/illusion game that I've played. If you like monument valley, there's a high chance that you'll like this too !.Version: 1.7.0
✓ AmazingI can't play online levels / top 200 levels too :( Hope I find a way to play them back.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Very ZenThis game is peaceful A gentle break from our chaos Great choice of soundtrack.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Simple but smart.Great game so far. Can't relate to a review on here saying hard to control?! Controls couldn't be any easier. Only been playing a few hours, and completely stuck on level 32 at the time of writing this review! I won't let it beat me though....Version: 1.7.0
✓ NiceVery nice game.Version: 2.1.0
✓ FunVery nice game😃.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Can't stop playingLove the game so far. The game so damn hard to figure out where to go..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Cool butI get stuck at levels and there is no skip or help button.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Great puzzle gameThis is a great game and well worth the price (I don't actually know how much because of app of the week) but this game can feel very easy as I've only being playing for less than a week..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Perfect puzzlerUnique, cleverly designed puzzle game. This is my new favourite, and I can't put it down. I'm finding it really difficult to just stop playing, it's my ideal combination of simplicity, thoughtful puzzle solving, and a little bit of luck when I can't decide which direction to turn. Very satisfying when I reach the goal. Well worth 79p, and hopefully there'll be more levels coming soon. Love it..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Mind boggling!But fun at the same time. Good way to spend a day off work. Love all the Gamebra games, but this is my favourite..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Mind blowingGreat app, great mind exercising!!!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ I enjoy this gameAny new levels coming?.Version: 2.2.2
✓ AmzazingThis game is the best illusion game I've ever played! I got it for the free app of the week and thought I like illusion games so I downloaded it. Honestly, I didn't think it would be the good but it's quite a good game! The only reason I'm rating 4 stars is because I wish you added a mode where players can create levels and put some choice of music in the menu! Thanks!😀😀😀😀😀😀.Version: 1.7.0
✓ IntriguingElegant game based on one of the Escher illusions. I haven't experienced any of the control difficulties mentioned by one or two of the reviewers: a) try tapping the destination junction rather than sliding b) if there's a problem in selecting the level, close the game after download and then open to play, rather than playing immediately from the downloaded game. The levels get difficult fairly soon into the series, but that's just an incentive to take a break and come back to it!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Great spatial puzzlerThose with Euclidean sensibilities need not apply; prepare yourself to think in a different space. Pleasant brain tickling..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Amazing gameSo challenging yet rewarding once you manage to figure out that you could do the entire level in 5 moves rather than 50..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Really entertainingGood puzzles, not too hard but some levels that give a bit of a challenge..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Great mind gameI love this game can't stop playing it.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Easy to playSimple to understand. And easy to play from kid to adult. Recommended..Version: 1.9.0
✓ RIPThis game is honestly amazing and challenging also kinda makes it easy to break your phone so make sure you have apple care + before you download.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Well worth itI have played though the whole game a couple times. And keep coming back because it’s so relaxing..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Didn't think she'd enjoy it: I was wrong!The misses got sucked in straight-away -more so than me!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Love this game!This is a great game! If you like this game you will also like "hocus flat" and "new hocus flat" and there's also "monument" try them👍.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Very puzzlingEnjoy playing this game very, thank you for adding new levels😃.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Great!I enjoy every minutes of it! Great game..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Amazing gameThis is a great thinking game and it has some optical illusion maps or whatever, if they add more maps that would be really amazing 👌.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Mind bogglingThis game is very clever with the way it uses a two dimensional perspective to create mind blowing connections between pathways in every puzzle. It's addictive, and just a very innovative little puzzle game. One thing that could be changed is in puzzle editor you don't really know if your puzzle will actually work. I have basic experience with coding and I know this would be difficult, but if it's possible could there be a way for the game to show you why a puzzle might not work? I doubt anyone will be reading this but if the producer does just please take the idea into consideration. Other than that Hocus is a great game that never seems to get old..Version: 1.9.0
✓ LoveGreat puzzles, and also quite relaxing with the music. One problem is that the music randomly comes back on when on mute, yet it's still muted so have to restart app to turn it off again..Version: 1.0.0
✓ 👌This is an excellent game of puzzle and thinking out of the box. It is a really good brain exercise and is quite fun. I'd definitely recommend it..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Good brain teaser!Fun game..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Great gameVery innovative usage of a simple optical illusion to create a whole puzzle platform on it indicator for block position when behind bars would be great.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Update?When will there more levels?.Version: 2.2.2
✓ ConfusingAt about half way through the puzzles, I'm still coming to grips with the mechanics of what does / does not work for any move. This can make my games seem more like random guessing than strategy. Neat idea though..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Excellent wee game!If MC Escher designed puzzles, this is what he would have come up with! Simple to pick up, very difficult to put down - this is a hidden gem of a game. Clear, crisp graphics, straightforward gameplay, and soothing background music to introduce some Zen in your day. Thoroughly recommended..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Good time killerThis is a good one to distract you from all around. Not overly difficult but hard enough to keep your noodle working!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Great mind-bending game!I have had this app for years and still enjoy coming back to play levels. It would be awesome if players could submit their creations for others to download and play at will..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Fun GameRuns well, no glitches and super fun to play. Looking forward to more levels being added.Version: 1.0.0
✓ What a unique game!I don't buy games often, but I'm glad I bought this one!.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Clever, Entertaining, PuzzleWell designed graphics. Interesting puzzle..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Good timesGood times.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Great Brain ExerciseJust finished 100 levels!😊 Don't give up!.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Very fun. Very challenging. Very simple.This Escher-like game is one of my favorites. I prefer spatial games anyway but this one has combined the attributes that I think are important in a game perfectly. Lots of levels. I'm only in the 60s out of 100, but I only play it when I have a few moments to spare between doing other things. And that is also a plus because you can do a level in a few minutes rather than having to commit yourself to finishing a long duration level as I've seen in other games..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Multiple 3D "Plane" GameHocus is a very, very clever game. Using 4D mathemagics, you transport your red cube across two realities, the foreplane, and the aftplane using 3D hypertriangles, hypersquares, hypertrapezoids and hyperrhombi. The game tricks your mind with the individual lines and planes of the individual 2D shapes being colored separately to "bridge" the two 3D worlds. Try it yourself! It is definitely worth the buy. What I don't advise is trying to apply this to standard mathematics. Like it doesn't work for two Cartesian planes, it won't work for two 3D "planes". All you need to do is bridge your mind. Fold space..Version: 1.0.0
✓ MagicI love it - it's been a while since I've enjoyed a game so much. Can't wait for more.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Absolutely Love it!!!Can not wait for more and more puzzles in this brilliant little game!! Thank You very much for so much fun!.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Great MechanicsIf you like Monument Valley, this is a great game to continue the intrigue and fun, although the lack of story to drive the mechanics, in my opinion, drops the star. But thank you to the developers and keep the levels coming. They are great..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Good brain exerciseIt starts off easy enough, but the difficulty increases with the different levels. Gets your brain to think spatially. Unlike any other game I’ve seen..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Great game...need more levels for 5 stars!Having completed all 50 levels in a couple of days (Lunch time at work etc) I am hooked and was hoping the new update included another 50 but it was just a bug fix. My fiancée is now working her way through the game and she NEVER plays games on her phone! More levels and it's an easy 5 stars..Version: 1.1.0
✓ So Zen!Love this game and the music helps to clear the mind and the path! More levels please as I just finished all 100!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Amazing gameWonderful game, it's a thinking game not too hard just enough to make you think. I really enjoy playing it, I find it quite relaxing. The controls are very easy..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Simple to learn......a lifetime to master! Such an easy game to play with a simple, straightforward mechanic that pretty much anyone can pick up in no time. But, the puzzles soon become devilishly tricky and they force you to think in more than one direction...literally! Hopefully I won't run out of them too soon..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Finished itWell, it took a few years, but I finished all 120 levels. After a while your intuition develops as to how to proceed, but it's hard to describe. A calming Zen meditation for the mind..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Good exercise for brainAll the levels are good. Difficulty level increases gradually. Also, you can create your own levels which awesome if you're playing with your friends.Version: 1.9.0
✓ I’ve been playing this game for a couple monthsToday I finished the game, it had kept me entertained for months and kept me hooked with the mind bending puzzles. This is a masterpiece in game design!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Great gameChallenging but so pleasing in its simplicity. Nice to have a game that's actually relaxing, no time pressure, no maximum points to get, no penalties for taking too long or not getting it right first time. And the background music is perfect, also gentle and relaxing. Genius..Version: 1.9.0
✓ ExcellentDidn't leave me behind too soon..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Love the game.Clean and simple.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Addictive!Fun and addictive. Good way to pass time that could be wasted on work!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Great little gameGorgeous clean graphics, great background music and sound effects, fun puzzles that bend your senses. Highly recommended if you want a relaxing game to fill in an evening or a few quick levels while waiting for the bus. Well done app developer!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Deceptively cunningA truly fabulously addictive brain twisting puzzle. So much more than it looks. Frustratingly seductive, this simple concept will turn you inside out until that euphoric moment you achieve success. Enjoy..Version: 1.9.0
✓ On point 👌🏻Guys this game is worth it. It's trippy as hell and I'm only on like level 20 and there's still 80 more to go! This game is amazing I had to tell myself to stop at 20 before I did them all and ruined the game but for real it's definitely worth it.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Utter genius!Its so challenging as well as beautiful and has tight controls. It's an absolute delightful puzzle game that is years beyond its peers. It even has a level creator! Stop reading and buy it..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Simple and clever. Delightful.For fans of puzzle games and optical illusions, this is a wonderful little brain-teaser. I found myself pleasantly stuck a few times, trying to see the path to the goal. For it's price, it's a treat..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Beat Buck in a whileThis is probably one of the best games costing a dollar, and one of the best puzzle games hand down. The simple minimalistic graphics create a nice feel to the game while also making it more challenging. Unlike other puzzle games, this one never runs out of levels thanks to the level editor, where you can play other puzzles (by choice or random) and create your own (the real challenge is creating a good one). The game is not too difficult but requires good visualization skills: if you are stuck just visualize a path from the exit to your cube!.Version: 1.6.0
✓ Oh this is goodOh this is good, this appeals to me. Physically moving along Escher like impossible shapes. It makes you concentrate and the exploration like aspect is appealing.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Problème à répondre. Response problemNiveau tactile souvent ne répond pas. Il faut faire plusieurs glissement pour avoir le faire bouger. C’est son seul défaut. Le problème est autant sur mon iPad mini4 que mon iPhone 6s Hard to get it to move often it does not reaction tu our fingers. That is the only problem. The problem is the same on my iPad mini5 as my iPhone 6s.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Superb game!A very well design game with neat minimalistic visuals. Good variety in the puzzles with a well balanced learning curve. Simple control that make it easy to play the game on a mobile. Zen, relaxing game..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Just a great app...Please keep the updates coming, i try to limit myself to 5 a day to stretch our game boards....Version: 1.9.0
✓ EntertainingEnjoyed these puzzles and really likes the impossible figure element, only slight disappointed that there is only 120 puzzles.Version: 2.2.2
✓ A Compendium of Escher-like mini-puzzlesAs others have said there are obvious similarities to monument valley, but this is a more simplified version, great for shorter moments, like waiting to board a flight, or waiting in a long line. The puzzles are tricky but still doable, and definitely works your spatial thinking -- which I like. My only complaint is that the puzzles reach a sort of plateau of difficulty, and there is little variation after Level 70 or so. My hope is the app updates more complex puzzle packs to maintain my interest, though I think I would go back and play certain puzzles at least one more time regardless..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Addictive game where not completing is not an option.It seems simple enough. Move a cube along shapes that would give Escher a headache. Very addictive and I find that I cannot give up. The game is addictive and fun..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Amazing Game!Let’s cut to the chase: This game is awesome! It’s simple but challenging, and its graphics aren’t over the top. There are no micro transactions or ads either! Love the level builder and generator too. 10/10.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Excellent, worthy of recognition.I seldom write reviews of applications unless I feel that something truly needs to be said. Developer, if you are taking the time to read this, I would just like to thank you for making this game. I found it to be an engaging, adaptive escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This quality is what we all desire in games. It's not shoving demands for money down your throat every 45 seconds. It honestly asks for your opinion of the game every 20 or so minutes and that is fair! The game itself is simple but requires intellect, and I found it to be gleefully surprising from time to time at the simplicity of the puzzles whereas I believed them to be much more difficult then they looked. This game is awesome and I can't wait to play more of it! Keep it up developers!!!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ With the level editor and user levels, this game finally gets it right.The only complaint I had with this game before was not enough levels. This release solved that at a stroke with a level editor and the ability to download user generated content. It now gets the full 5 stars from me.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Very ZenA relaxing way to give my brain some push-ups..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Simple but addictiveI love the look of this game, the impossible geometry of it is just so interesting, plus the game is both challenging and inventive..Version: 1.9.0
✓ A magic game!This is a truly excellent app. Ignore the dreary, rambling mope of a review, which is utter nonsense. If you love Monument Valley and MV 2 this game is for you. Hocus is very simple to use, fun to play and totally addictive. Go for it - you will not be disappointed..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Beautiful + intelligent gameHocus is a gentle game that’s perfect to twist and turn through while listening to podcasts or just relaxing. I love the minimal design and simple gameplay..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Hocus... 5⭐️Very fun to play, with hard levels and varying intensity. A level editor that you can make your own levels in, and share them to friends or post them on a forum. Just don’t use this level. hocus://V1I4UVEnUXjsKyIkUFKkjzlHGwEL66fT.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Splendidly simple gameSo simple, so addictive and great looking game. I played 20 levels straight after installing it without having to learn any complicated controls, no power ups, no time limits and still it just tickled the brain cells to make sure they were awake..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Good fun in short spurtsThe navigation is easy and intuitive. The levels are moderately challenging and require some thought. It's interesting thinking through the moves because you're perspective will shift involuntarily; like when you look at the frame of a 3D cube. You can almost feel your brain twist, which is why I said "short spurts". After a couple of the higher levels, I need to take a break, but I find myself coming back to play again. The music and sound effects can be turned off or on from the main page. There's about 50 levels and the developer has promised more levels soon..Version: 1.1.0
✓ ExcellentExcellent brain twister! 😀👍🏼.Version: 1.9.0
✓ QuizzedLots of fun Cool graphics!!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Get you thinking.It's one if those simple but hard at the same time. It gets your brain working for a change, so if you like a challenge then this is for you!.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Perceptional PuzzlerIf you like Monument valley, you will enjoy this game. Puzzles inspired by the work of M C Escher (look him up). Fairly short with the developer offering more levels in a later update. The music is soothing but essentially loops, there should be more variety I think. *Update* This game needs icloud progress saving. If you delete it then redownload, you will lose all of your levels..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Awesome game!One of the funnest, most addictive, games ever! If like monument valley, you'll love this!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ A good challengeToo many puzzlers are impossible, relying on "cheat" sites that guide a user through an illogical solution. This is NOT one of those puzzlers. Each round is a challenge, but is also logically solvable..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Solidly Achieves Greatness in SimplicityFor being a one-man development and programming "team," this 3D spatial puzzle game is probably the best one in the genre at showcasing to casual gamers what makes these kinds of puzzles so much fun and satisfying to solve. It's definitely the most quick and accessible of it's kind, making it great at filling in any brief downtime during the day, but more than that, it's the kind of game that makes you glad to find yourself suddenly stuck in line or in the waiting room because you'll have an excuse to solve that next puzzle you're on. Being that this title is a one-man show in its production and development, working in what is presently a niche puzzle genre, (one which deserves to become future mainstream imo), I think the $0.99 price tag is not only fair, especially now with the addition user created puzzles being added all the time (many of which are are dastardly in their difficulty yet always satisfying to solve). But as I see it, you're $1 will also be a powerful vote for encouraging other developers to stop shoving out countless columns of candy and gems in our face to be matched in 3's -- there are so many of these littering the App Store that you begin to resent their existence -- so feel good about supporting indie developers who dare to produce something different and innovative for those of us whom they know are seeking just that..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Simple but funReally simple concept, but very entertaining!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ AwesomeWhen you get you head around what the red block is going to do its easier to navigate through each shape. Very nice game. Simple yet effective. Just wish there were more levels initially!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Mr BojanglesGood game. Went through the first 100 levels in about 75 minutes though. Will try the create your own puzzle..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Very goodThis app hits the "not to easy, not to mind-numbingly hard" spot, it requires thinking but it isn't too taxing, very good for picking up and playing with for 5 minutes and putting down again. I think it could only be made better with a level creator and some way to share them, but all the same; its very good..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Soothing..You can play it with great attention to solving the puzzle or jut move the cube around. Some of the levels look similar but does then result of gameplay. I don't typically stick with a game to the end, so this was a treat..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Great game.Amazing puzzles, awesome levels and definitely worth the money. Few bugs but overall really well made..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Simple and addictive!Where are all the simple and unique games? Here is one..Version: 1.7.0
😕 Hocus. Negative Reviews
