✓ Fundamentally Flawed Design, Improved!Update: Of the solutions I listed below, #2 was implemented. Yay! However, it is still true that you can somewhat “muscle” your way through the game. There is no penalty to filling the board, so you can still win any level by repeatedly pressing one button until you get lucky. However, smart play just speeds things up. Old Review: This is a beautiful game with a fundamental design flaw: often times the best way to progress is to fill your board and “lose”. I’ll try and explain as succinctly as possible: 1) Puzzles have a set start place. 2) Each requires you to gain five pieces. 3) They get harder as they go and your board fills up. 4) If you fail, it restarts to puzzle 1 of 5. 5) However, you don’t lose any collected pieces! Therefore, it’s boring but possible to progress like this: 1) Get a piece. 2) Fail on purpose. 3) Get that same piece again. -repeat until done Possible fixes: 1) Lose collected pieces: players must collect all five without failing. 2) Randomize the start of each puzzle. 3) Add an achievement of some kind for finishing without losing. This game is artsy enough, one of those fixes may be present but invisible to me at this point..Version: 1.6
✓ Soothing and challenging at the same timeThe graphics are truly lovely. The puzzles are challenging without being impossible. Overall, this is a beautiful and soothing game..Version: 1.5
✓ Really enjoying itIt’s reminiscent of Monument Valley - very beautiful and relaxing.Version: 1.9
✓ Just perfectNot too difficult but not too easy either. A sweet puzzle world- I’m on level five and loving every minute!.Version: 1.3
✓ Amazing AddictiveThe best game I’ve played in a very long time, the 3D dynamics & colours with sound are fantastically synchronised & relaxing & addictive game play that makes you think :) Well done to the developers it’s reminded me of a certain maze game but this is more interesting ... Well done to the developers!.Version: 1.5
✓ IncredibleThis puzzle is absolutely beautiful. The design and graphics are out of this world 🌎. The only concern I have (I dont know if anyone else is experiencing this as well but my battery life depletes like crazy 😩) if this is fixable then I’d be sure a new update would solve this. Other than that, it’s worth the $4 !!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ This game is great!!Perfect for long boring car ride or a long camping trip!.Version: 1.8
✓ It's cool but...I find the game more frustrating than fun, and although the gameplay mechanics are interesting and cool, the structure of the game disappoints me: It relies on random generation. I love the puzzles that unlock the doors (those don't rely on randomness), but the main game feels luck based. This is why I heavily prefer puzzle games with specificly designed levels, rather than games like this and candy crush where random generation is a part of the game, and the levels are different each time they're played. It’s more of a strategy game, which isn’t my thing but that’s just me. If puzzles that rely on random generation are your cup of tea, get the game... but there are some really great puzzles out there that are so much better. I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. Graphics are very impressive here, music is nice, gotta say though..Version: 1.8
✓ Beautifully made game :)Love the design of the game, and the music is very soothing and calming to listen to :D.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Beautiful and relaxingI am somewhat challenged as far as spatial and mechanical reasoning skills, so this game is maybe a little harder for me than it would be for the average person. But the gorgeous graphics and the calming music make this game a pleasure to play. And you get endless chances to keep working out the solutions to the levels. A lot of fun to play!.Version: 1.3
✓ A really beautiful puzzle gameNot only is the gameplay really fun and just challenging enough, the whole game has such a beautiful aesthetic to it. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. Also tell your music guy that he killed it!!.Version: 1.8
✓ I like this gameFun game. Once I moved up a few levels it became kind of tricky, but I started to pay attention to all the other squares moving around and it became easier to figure out. I'm not done yet and look forward to the rest of the puzzles in this game. Without knowing all the mechanics there is still a lot randomness in the game. In my opinion. Any fun game. Or game I'm interested in playing takes a bit of a learning curve or skill, but also mixes a bit of the unknown into it. The random surprise factors. In my opinion. It a balance of these two aspects that makes a game fun to play. A balance of skill mixed with the unknown..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Highly entertaining, great musicI absolutely agree that if you want to enjoy the zen of this game you ought to wear some nice quality headphones. Great music and great graphics. Highly entertaining..Version: 1.3
✓ Amazing!The graphics are so well made, and the puzzles really make you think. That plus the relaxing music makes a very entertaining, intriguing game..Version: 1.5
✓ Well constructed albeit shortEnjoyed the play through, but was surprised when it was all over sooner than I expected. The puzzles were more frustrating than challenging at times and I wish I had a few more of the door unlocking puzzles to get through... The Witness by Thekla should have been contracted more like Kenshō for their mobile experience. Depth of puzzles from The Witness and UI like Kenshō would be a winner..Version: 1.6
✓ A little gem.Great game ,simple but not easy. Can’t stop playing. Also like the puzzles to open each level. Buy it now. 5*****. Update....just finished this game and waiting for Kenshō 2. Very entertaining..Version: 1.5
✓ Great game but needs update!This is a great game but it’s due for an update. I’ve waited for an update for a while now and there hasn’t been one for a long time ever since November or December. I like the way this game makes you think out of the box to come up with a solution in order to solve the puzzles it shows. I just wish there were more levels so that I can play. Please add more levels to the game and make it more stable. Thank you!.Version: 1.8
✓ Insanely good. 🙌 wow!!!Incredible game, the music and graphics completely immense you in another world. Highly recommend following the composers advice of headphone. This is a very addictive yet therapeutic game. 👍.Version: 1.8
✓ BrilliantThis game is brilliant! The story is very entrancing, and the game play is absolutely made with the music. I love that each level is unique and that if you “fail” you don’t have to start all over on building all the keys, you only have to start over on the single piece of the key you are currently trying to get. The graphics of this game are incredible and very immersive! I don’t really have any complaints about this game. This might be my new favorite! I just hope it last a bit because I’m loving it! update***** PLEASE MAKE A SEQUAL!!!!.Version: 1.5
✓ Only wish it was longer!Beautiful game, interesting play. I wish there were more levels!.Version: 1.8
✓ Amazing!I don't usually play games on my phone but one one day when I was checking out the app store this one really stood out. The music and the colors, just everything about this game is so peaceful and relaxing. The puzzles are challenging but not in a frustrating way, they are a fun, gotta keep going kind of challenge.I highly recommend it..Version: 1.3
✓ You can tell they spent time on itIt’s actually a breath of fresh air in the stale world of money grabbing matching puzzlers. It’s beautifully made and tactile feeling with a gorgeous soundtrack. The kind of game I feel good supporting the devs by purchasing..Version: 1.0.1
✓ I played 3 hours for the first timeI downloaded it because it was visually beautiful and mysterious. The instructions are minimal, I thought intentionally. Other games/puzzles which involve a visual logic are similar. It makes them charming. The guides are consistent, which is part of the challenge. What isn’t clear is where the game is ultimately going after it stopped the way you proceeded and introduced something which seemed to go nowhere. I addressed this today in a message to Kenshō. I only had one other occasion to contact them when I couldn’t solve a puzzle; the response was rapid and helpful without giving any hints or strategies. For anyone contemplating downloading this game, don’t let My most recent problem discourage you. It’s a delight to look at and a challenge as they introduce each twist. I don’t care for the music which is distracting, so I turn it off. I like the sound effects. I gave this a 5 star rating because the whole experience was mesmerizing. It is not easy to stop, but that is a problem in the discipline of the player..Version: 1.5
✓ Bought the deer on EtsyStraight up this is one of the most beautiful puzzle games I've played in years. Reminds me visually of Blockwick, One of my favorites. And before you think this game is all looks let me assure you it is also a great puzzle game. It takes a pretty simple puzzle concept and leverages it into something special by giving you a reason to keep playing. At risk of sounding a little kooky I have to see there's a certain spirit this game that seems very sincere but is hard to describe. Lots of games try to look beautiful as part of their appeal but this one seems to have a real beating heart of it's own. I bought a beautiful stuffed deer they linked to in the app as well, and can't wait to see it!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great puzzle game with a (sort of) hidden mechanicI thought this game was just fine for a while. Then I realized new tiles came in based on where I was sliding. Then it suddenly became an amazing puzzle game of strategy with just a little bit of luck..Version: 1.3
✓ Kensho is a mind-blowing 5-star game app!Kensho is an artful treat for your senses of sight and hearing, while challenging your mind, analytical skills, and imagination! ~Well-worth the $4 fee! So happy to have discovered this. I see it’s won many game-industry awards; well-deserved..Version: 1.9.2
✓ OkayIt is a super swell 3s game but it would’ve been better if they’d left out the fancy cut scenes, went for a wee bit more minimal approach and made it free...but then there would be ads - total drag - but free is THE magic word, doesn’t matter who you are. The super rich are some of the scroogiest (to use a seasonal metaphor) most cheapass tight mf’s you’ll encounter...funny enough. That’s mainly why they’re such terrible terrible people. When money means more than life, explicitly human life, then one should make arrangements to have all of their assets to go to worthwhile sources and donate their remains to organ transplantation and universities anytime before they find it irresistible to end their life. 😀.Version: 1.2
✓ Game designers take noteThis is what mobile gaming should strive to be. Simple to learn but can be challenging to master. Beautiful graphics. Engrossing sound. And most importantly - not designed to make you pay to play. Take my money - and when you make something new, take my money again. Thank you for making this beautiful game.Version: 1.6
✓ So relaxingI’m really enjoying this beautiful game. Just the right challenge for me, as I’m not a very skilled gamer. The graphics are soothing and the music is haunting. I decided to try this game because a review described it as elegant. That’s a very good way to describe it..Version: 1.6
✓ Beautiful Puzzle GameWonderful gameplay that gets slightly harder as you go, but you aren’t overly penalized for getting part of a puzzle wrong. The between puzzle interludes are beautiful, and I love that there are no hearts, ask friends for help, or unlock with 50 million diamonds gimmicks. Worth every penny for sure..Version: 1.6
✓ I mean.. WOW!!!!!!!Wow. Wow! Im literally in awe of Kenshō!!! This is one absolutely AMAZING game. After only playing this game for a few minutes, I can most certainly say I'm left speechless and ready to play some more. Stunning graphics. Freaking awesome soundtrack. It's a perfect game in my book. Props after props to the developers of this game for doing some extraordinary work. Can't wait to see what else they come up with!.Version: 1.5
✓ Too shortI loved this game until it was over! Beautiful and challenging, it was a sensory delight to play. But why so short? I was done in a few days after purchasing it. Hopefully more levels will be introduced at some point!.Version: 1.6
✓ Stunning Graphics and PhysicsI’m very impressed with this game, I’m half way through at the moment but I was so impressed that I had to review it right now, the graphics are stunning and I like the fact that there are cutscenes after every level completion, I love the fact that the developers use every colour of the rainbow for their colour palette. The 3D graphics for the text and tiles make the game all that better, even though this game quite simple to play there are obstacles that stop you from winning so it’s not as easy as it looks, I like that in every level they add new obstacles and new ways of playing. The sound design is spot on, honestly play this game with headphones it takes you to another world, it’s very peaceful and every level has different music, I honestly just sat listening to the music in the level menu and I was mesmerised it’s beautiful. Like I say, I’m very impressed and would definitely recommend it. I’m playing on the iPad Pro 10.5” One thing that I might add is that the Apple TV version doesn’t work, I have an Apple TV 4K and it won’t let me access any of the levels, the only thing it allows me to do is get to the menu where it says “continue” and “save game progress to iCloud”, I’ve tried this with the Siri remote and a compatible game controller, please fix this because I’d love to play this on a big screen as it’s so beautiful..Version: 1.6
✓ BrilliantWaiting for Kenshō 2..Version: 1.8
✓ Pretty and funVery simple yet surprisingly relaxing and rewarding to play. There’s an undertone of hope that is subtly uplifting..Version: 1.5
✓ Fun, unusual and relaxing but poor responsivenessI could really love this game except for the fact that the pieces do not move quickly or responsively enough. Sometimes you have to swipe twice. I have the newest iPhone so it is not a processor issue..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Best puzzle game I’ve ever played. Hands Down.I usually never write reviews on apps, or even rate them, but this one deserves every one of the 5 stars. After seeing this app as “game of the day” it instantly got my attention. You really can’t get mad when playing this game, the music is so relaxing and calming. The graphics and animations are silky smooth, so pleasing to watch the animation after solving the puzzle. The combination of the nature and music makes the perfect environment to become immersed into. This game needs more attention, without a doubt should be the #1 app on the list..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Truly phenominal.That's all. This game is awesome. I don't really understand the cutscenes, but enjoy them and their creativity nonetheless. I feel like the game, as with all new games, could use some refinement (like the crumbling animation that is used constantly could be smoother) but it was absolutely worth the money I paid for it..Version: 1.5
✓ Love it!!Amazing graphic and quite creative game! Reminded me a bit of the game 2048 but reinvented! Liked the short story and wish there would be more levels.Version: 1.9.2
✓ A great startSo far it’s nothing new as far as puzzles go, but the execution is top notch. I’ve been playing about 20m and it hasn’t thrown anything at me that’s made me think too hard, but we’ll see. Definitely a gorgeous game..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Challenging in a good wayLovely chilled graphics and sound track add to the enjoyment of the game. Levels become increasingly harder but not enough to make you give up. Felt quite sad to have completed it so soon but it was worth the cost..Version: 1.6
✓ Beautiful, engagingThe visuals between levels are quite lovely. The game isn't as challenging as Monument Valley but it is fun. Well worth the $2 on sale. The app is a battery hog, and I hope future versions will improve on that..Version: 1.2
✓ Beautiful, Stunning PuzzlerThe lovechild of Threes and Denki Blocks. A brilliant and beautiful game no-one should miss..Version: 1.5
✓ Love the game but...Absolutely love the game play but just a couple of things. The contrast of some of the colors on the levels are so similar to each other making the game harder for color impaired viewers. But my main issue is with the game is the battery drain... I literately just downloaded the game and had 83% battery life and in just 10 minutes of game play I’m down to 32%!! And my phone got pretty hot as result. Again, the game play and music are absolutely great but the battery drain is three times as bad as candy crush! Fix it and I’ll give it 5 stars and a rave re-review. — - in reply to support Thanks you for the immediate response and changing the settings to normal made a huge difference in battery consumption. It still heats up he phone quite a bit but not nearly as bad as when it was in best quality mode..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Too much too fast.This game needs a selector to slow down the game progress. It gets exponentially more difficult too quickly for me, other than that 5 stars.Version: 1.5
✓ Well made!This game has the most beautiful graphics, and it’s so fun to play! The only thing is that I wish there’s was more levels.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Phone overheated?I really enjoy this game, but I’ve noticed that my phone will start to get unusually hot after just a few minutes of playing. This doesn’t happen with any other app except this one. My phone will also automatically dim the brightness (even though it says it’s all the way up) once it has gotten hot. It’s a bit concerning that an app can cause that. Other than that, the game concept is great..Version: 1.8
✓ AwesomeThe graphics are wonderful and gameplay is excellent...not too hard but challenging enough...highly recommend.Version: 1.5
✓ Very noice 😛This game is a good puzzle game, reminds me a little but of Monument Valley, it’s a puzzle game, but it’s got a sort of story behind it, there’s a main character, and it’s even a little ominous! 😦 It’s kinda confusing though, plus, there’s not really a clear way of getting the piece of the key 🤔 I like how there is a puzzle to open the door though and I love the cute Kenshō deer!! 😊🦌 btw would have rated 4 1/2 stars ✨ but I don’t think I’m able too 🤨 good game 👍👍👍.Version: 1.8
✓ A Joy to ExperienceAt first I was like “okay why is this game $4?” And then I listened with my in-ear monitors and I really got to appreciate the sound masterpiece that it is. Then I noticed the visuals in the cut scenes. It has me thinking what it could all be about as the drama unfolds. I am determined to experience this all the way through. There is something satisfying when you hear the stones move especially when you match 3. I can’t stress enough, I recommend in-ear monitors as opposed to regular earbuds. This game is a symphony. ***** Five Stars.Version: 1.8
✓ Perplexing puzzles, gorgeous graphics.......... a splendid, surreal soundtrack and this author's annoying alliteration. The Puzzles are challenging enough to hold one's attention without becoming a headache spewing explicative. My only wish is that I could spend more time exploring the worlds in between the puzzles. There the vibe is relaxed and ethereal providing a perfect interlude while the brain recharges for the next set of puzzles. The animation reminds me very much of Mahiro Maeda’s Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo. Enchanted, mysterious and breathtakingly beautiful..Version: 1.5
