Beautifully designed game and not so hard too to keep me engaged. The only drawback is that it's very short - lucky I got it for free during the amazing Amazon sale.
This is an amazing game and I have a rough idea how much of an efford it takes to provide such high creativity and quality. I prefer playing a short but amazing game. I think for the price the expansion (which I purchased and love) could have been free (especially considering long term sales/loss coverage), but more importantly I am really happy this game has been made. Keep up the quality and you will be a known and valued game developer, ustwo!
5.0 out of 5 starsUnique and very enjoyable mind teaser that I could not put down!

Update for 6-25-2015_ A new section titled Ida's Dream has been added to the puzzle. I had to delete my Monument Valley app with the Forgotten Shores update from my device. I then reinstalled the entire app again. After the installation I had to click to have the app reinstall my purchases and it re-added Forgotten Shores and added the new update of Ida's Dream onto my tablet. The graphics and game play on Ida's Dream is amazing and difficult and I am still working my way through this new update. This is a great app and one that I enjoy a lot and I recommend Monument Valley to you. Get ti and you will enjoy it. I actually purchased the app long before it became a FAOTD and I still play it. It is a great mind puzzle and it opens up you mind and thinking to resolve the puzzle in 3 dimensions.
I completed Ida's dream and I enjoyed it. At the end it advises you that Ida's dream was created for charity and it encourages you to donate a worthy cause that is close to you and that you believe in. This is a nice thought from the developer.
Update for the new add-in levels for Forgotten Shores added 11-22-2014:
I have just purchased the new update called Forgotten Shores. It requires an in-app purchase price of $1.99. It contains 8 new levels to the game and they are well worth the price. The artwork is beautiful and the puzzles are challenging. I enjoyed playing them all. The last level Nocturne is particularly challenging but fun. Overall it took me about 90 minutes to beat the new levels and I spent most of the time on the 8th level.
This app is like a piece of art turned into a game. Beautiful artwork, special effects and music. I like this app a lot and I recommend it to you. Here are the titles for the new levels:
The Chasm Serpent Lake The Thief Halcyon Court The Lost Falls The Citadel of Deceit The Oubliette Nocturne ------------
Update 11-19-2014:
I just wanted to state that this game for me is so challenging and fun that I actually reinstalled it over a month ago and played it completely through a couple more times. My grandson who is 11 years old saw me playing it and he took the tablet from me and he was better than I was at playing the game. He also quickly finished it.
This game has marvelous graphics and the thought and design effort put into the development of this app is just amazing. I recommend it to you as a lot of fun. I enjoy it!
+++++++++++++++++
This is a very unique game that forces you to think in three dimensions and use your spatial skills in resolving three dimensional shapes and forms. The graphics and music of the game are professionally done and the game held my interests so much that I could not stop playing it. The time just flew by!
The app only has 10 levels and I found it to be very short. I enjoyed it so much that I was upset when I finished it with about 2 1/2 hours of play. I spent a lot of that on level 6.
The app is a different type of mind teaser that I really enjoyed. It was pure concentration and solving the maze without a time limit and without being killed every 30 seconds. I do wish that it was longer and I think for the price it should have been. I have to admit that I would still have purchased the app as I enjoyed it that much. Rarely do I get a game that I become so engrossed in that I can't stop playing.
The app is large at 159 MB but it automatically installed 141 MB into my SD card and 17.65 MB onto my device memory. When I finished the app the memory used 160 MB by saving some additional data to my SD card and device memory.
Permissions: * Modify or delete the contents of your USB storage * Full internet access * View network connections * Prevent tablet from sleeping.
The game does use both Amazon and Flurry Analytics to monitor your game play behavior and how its software is performing. Since the permissions are so limited there is no personal data being viewed. The app also uses Amazon Game Circle and Google Play Services.
I liked the game so much that I immediately looked to see if the developer had released any more apps like this. Unfortunately I did not find any. This app is a very good one and I enjoyed it a lot.

This game is pure art. Ten levels, a journey through time and space. The price you pay for this game is worth every penny: beauty and design at their best. The game could be completed in a hour. Google for reviews before getting it, but you won't regret it if you have a taste for beauty.
Please note that Android for kindle and other devices is slightly different. If you do not own an Amazon device, do verify if the app will work in your device first, otherwise get it from Google Play. Do not downrate an app if it doesn't work; it's your duty to check first, not developers' fault :(
****************
Questo gioco è arte. Composto da dieci livelli, è un viaggio attraverso spazio e tempo. Vale tutti i soldi spesi; bellezza e design si fondono in un'ora di gioco (tempo nel quale il gioco potrebbe facilmente essere completato). Cercate recensioni su Google prima di comprarlo e se volete un gioco che duri a lungo, non fa per voi. Se volete un gioco davvero bello e pieno di poesia, decisamente si.
Attenzione: Android per amazon è leggermente diverso da android "standard", quindi potrebbe non funzionare sui vostri dispositivi. Controllate la compatibilità prima di scaricare un'app (a meno che abbiate un dispositivo di amazon, in quel caso no problem) e, nel dubbio, acquistatelo da Google Play. Non votate una stella un'app che non potete usare perchè voi stessi non avete controllato prima, non è colpa degli sviluppatori :(
