User reviews
Cool, relaxing puzzle game... but it's barely a puzzle, because there's no moving parts. You're really just solving a maze. Hocus has got cool impossible perspective stuff, but I can't recommend it to true puzzle aficionados. Also, some alternative color palettes would go a long way to make it look nicer. Go play Monument Valley instead, that game does really cool perspective stuff kind of like this, but good.

Connor McHarney, 2024-12-12So pleasing. I don't have to stop to watch a score animation or watch an advert. I can just get lost in playing. Now I am having fun creating my own puzzles within it and it gives me a way of saving them in the form of code. I can paste in levels with code I have saved in a note app, and then play them again. After playing my pasted level it says rate this level, with a thumb up and a thumb down and then crashes whichever I chose. I just swipe the app closed but I thought you should know.

Edward P-S, 2024-09-24It's exactly as advertised. It involves many levels based on the same mind-bending concept but with varying structures and complexity. It's also quite simplistic, with no fancy sound effects or distracting visuals and no annoying ads (at least as far as I have played, which is ~40 minutes) The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because it's too simplistic for my taste. The levels begin to feel repetitive. It's the same concept over and over.
