4.8/5Editor's Choice

Our verdict

A short, beautiful puzzle game where you bend impossible architecture to guide a silent princess to each exit.

Best for: Players who want a calm, polished puzzle game they can finish over a weekend.

What we like

  • Clean, striking visuals that look like moving illustrations
  • Puzzles are gentle and rarely leave you stuck for long
  • No ads, and the $3.99 price covers the main game
  • Rated Everyone, so it suits the whole family

Watch out for

  • The main story is short and can be finished in a couple of hours
  • Has in-app purchases for extra chapters
  • Experienced puzzle fans may find it easy

You guide Ida, a small princess, through a series of structures built from optical illusions. Rotating a tower, sliding a bridge or turning a crank can link paths that looked disconnected. Everything is done by touch, so it feels natural on a phone.

The game has no timer and no penalty for mistakes, so you can take your time. The soundtrack and soft colors give it a relaxed feel, and the story is told with very little text.

It costs $3.99 up front with no ads, though it does include in-app purchases. It suits anyone who likes puzzles with atmosphere more than difficulty.
