I really like the game alot, and I'm excited for part 2! However.. I give it 4 stars because of the price. It was $5.49 for me and that's a bit expensive especially if we have to pay for part 2 as well. I think it was worth it but the price was very high for the amount of play time. Overall, a good game! Just expensive for how much there is.

I was really excited to dig into this game. It has the same format as The Room, where you are manipulating puzzle boxes to unlock them. I would've loved this game, but am annoyed when the price is hidden. You get past chapter 1 and suddenly BAM you've got to pay almost $6 to continue. $6 is on the higher end of app pricing and should be listed on the game page, in a clear manner. Can't stand when devs put it in the fine print, as if optional. 5 mins in you hit the paywall and uninstalled instead

This would be 5 stars, but the game has a bug. In chapter 9, it does NOT allow me to place the headset in the ship. The arm immediately asks for the golden ball, then it activates. The white lights on the ball never activate and there is nothing to do with the headset. The game just stops there. Otherwise, this game is beautiful and engaging. I just want to finish.

Great game, a few puzzles stumped us for awhile, but definitely a fun game! Chapter 6 has a glitch that if you touch the wrong spot you get thrown to the cut scene and it resets the machine back to that point, instead of where you were, had to back out to main menu and reenter the game to fix it...repeatedly!

I would love to give this game 5 stars, but the camera, controls, and manipulation mechanics are HORRID!!! the camera will NEVER zoom where you want it too, trying to zoom back is a nightmare. Trying to manipulate anything is a joke. Which really sucks, because the puzzles and look of the game are great, but it's annoying af when it takes all your patience and 20 minutes just to get back to where you need to be. PLEASE FIX THIS SEVERE ISSUE, it really detracts from a would be 5star game

Gorgeous game, compelling storyline, can't wait for another. But for a game that costs $5.00, I was expecting longer than two hours of gameplay. /Very/ short in comparison to other games at the same pricepoint, and I'll admit I was disappointed to be finished so soon. Still, I'll be keeping an eye out for the sequel- hopefully longer or cheaper ;)

I had fun, I like that there's a story and the puzzles make sense within the story. It did feel short, but if I compare the price to a movie ticket, this game is cheaper and lasted longer. Took maybe 4-5 hours to complete. One puzzle that I completed without really knowing what was going on (two spheres you could spin that changed the color of some light streams). All others were manageable with a little patience and investigation, which is exactly what you'd want in a game like this.

While it was fun to play for a while, Chapter 6 is buggy and after looking at a walkthrough, I see that the sequence of events never happened as expected. SPOILER: after the rock goes into the machine, it's supposed to release the side flaps. If you try to view the hole that the rock went into, it'll redo the cutscene and keep the flaps closed so you can't progress.

Super fun and compelling puzzles. Clever designs, good visual direction, and loads of puzzle variety. Never felt like I was hunting around for clues by aimlessly tapping, which seems to be a common problem with other games of this type. Didn't expect to get hooked into the narrative, but now I'm hyped for Machinika 2!

Fun game - great graphics.... only lost one star cause I think I hit a bug or something in the last chapter??? I set up all the planets and nothing happened.....double, triple, quadruple checked... then it wouldnt let me click on planets anymore - it would face me staring at the back of the chair like in the exorcist when i tried to click on one....had to start the chapter over again, set them up exactly the same....and then success... playing on andriod

Pros: The graphics and gameplay are very good. I love the tactile feel, very much in the same vein as The Room series. Con: Just one con, but it's a big one. This game is SHORT. For a $5.50USD premium game I feel a bit ripped off, though not quite enough to try to dispute the purchase. It feels more like a long-ish demo than a full game.

One of the best games I've ever played on Google. When is the sequel coming out? Id buy that and a bundle pack on Nintendo Switch. Take my money. Can hardly wait for the new and or last update. *I really hope they update the scanner printer. As it is totally unfeisable to copy certain of the alien tech. Like the combination ball in the scroll, etc. Fix things like that and it will be perfect. On the last update, the writing on the circuit breaker box gets all fuzzy and unreadable.

Pros: Very fun! The graphics are good. The puzzles aren't too difficult. Cons: Too short for the price as compared to other games (The Room series). Had an issue when an item disappeared while dragging it during an animation that was transitioning from one view to another. Restarted the game and it worked.

I enjoy sci fi, puzzles, escape rooms, and mysteries. This game has a bit of it all. Puzzles are relatively easy as of Chapter 5 but I am still really enjoying it. If you're a fan of The Room series, the DaVinci series, and even Tiny Rooms, then you'll enjoy this game. May change to 5 stars if puzzles get more challenging and the story's mystery is intriguing.

This is a great game worth every penny and more. Honestly I would pay double maybe triple for this amazing game. If I had to say one bad thing its that in chapter 3 the letter you get has a typo. it says of the of the. Thats the only bad thing. everything else is great. The sound effects are top notch the storytelling is amazing as well. The graphics are amazing, and the puzzles slowly grt harder and harder making you really think. Just all around a good game.

This was an awesome puzzle solving game. I'd have given it 5 stars, but it is slightly buggy. There are times on puzzles that certain things won't work so you need to back out and then go back into the game. Then everything fixes itself and you can continue. Other than that I can't wait for the next one, as this leaves off on a cliffhanger.

Upfront Warning: This game is only a demo and you must pay $5 for the full thing. It is also fairly short so keep that in mind. Review: This game feels amazing! They have nailed the experience of tinkering around with things and exploring the unknown. The puzzles were simple, yet fun. It kept my attention from start to finish. I completed the full game in just under 2 hours going at a casual pace. I definitely recommend if you don't mind spending the money for quality on a very short game.
