Surprisingly Fun
Tue Jul 05 2022 SnarkclawI am generally not a fan of sliding puzzle games, but am a fan of games by Maciej Targoni. Hook and Klocki are two of my favorite games, so Up Left Out was worth a try, at least.
And it turned out to be a surprisingly fun game. The game employs a fresh take on the sliding puzzle mechanic and, of course, has that pleasing interface Targoni is so good in creating, making Up Left Out quite engaging.
Challenging but Relaxing
Wed Jul 04 2018 UltraNurdGood puzzle game in the vein of sokoban, though with more complicated switching mechanisms. The levels do a good job of introducing new mechanics and training you on them. It's a good bite size game for the price, with a variety of levels.
A handful of the levels can get you stuck in a configuration loop for a while until you realize the exact sequence to get everything lined up.
My only UI frustration is I couldn't find an easy reset button, even though it was technically impossible to get stuck on a level it was sometimes easier to start over. The workaround is to go back a level and then forward.
Great puzzles - too few
Mon Aug 05 2019 ToddHaglerLike all of this developer's puzzle apps, Up Left Out, delivers on the promise of nicely challenging, well-designed minimalist puzzles.
If you are a puzzle fan, get all of the great apps by this developer. Just be prepared for the puzzles to run out well before you are ready for them to. Even with the limited number of puzzles the apps are well worth the price. Great for a quick diversion.
Fantastic Game
Wed Jun 27 2018 JackismadIt was so fun to play, takes a simple mechanic and does so much with it, making the game very complex. It's clear that the puzzles were carefully designed, and they require you to think in such a different way compared to other puzzle games. They are also just the right difficulty.
Music is nice, sound effects are nice, graphics are simple yet not boring.
Buy this game!
A unique experience
Thu Jun 28 2018 Waffl3zrul3A very enjoyable and atmospheric game, the simplistic style works very well and the gameplay is very unique and interesting. I feel as though some mechanics were not as fleshed out as they could have been, however, and the game is fairly short. Overall, I feel the game is worth the money and very fun and satisfying for what it is, but there could have been more exploration with the mechanics and the game could have been longer.
Simple. Complex. Excellent.
Mon Sep 03 2018 ThisisTrentThis is like an old 15 slider puzzle, but with increasing challenges being thrown at you. I love that you just have to figure it out as you go, and that you can never really get stuck. You just have to keep trying until you figure it out. The variations on the puzzles are really clever. Great, relaxing, and challenging, with a straightforward and simple design.
I love this game so much
Sun Apr 21 2019 cactuscobblerIt's beautiful, intuitive, and just the right amount of challenging. This is my favorite app by him (I bought the relaxation pack).
Please make DLC or a sequel to this game. I love it so much and I wanna play new levels.
My only complaint is that it was rather short at just 50 levels. I burned through this game in a couple of days.
Perfect balance of challenge and puzzlement
Mon Oct 22 2018 ShottyotterOnce I got in the grove of this game, I just kept going until the end. I had no idea how many levels there where. When I got stuck I would put it down for a while but the next time I was always able to find the solution.
It's a wonderful game.
Tue Jan 26 2021 Retail VigilanteSimple, smooth, stable, and most surprisingly, cathartic. I finished the game in one day because I was obsessed with how great the app felt and how it's melancholic-but-hopeful soundtrack reminded me of how I felt in a period of life long, long time ago. Melancholic but hopeful. Does anyone know the original composer of the soundtrack? If so, hit a brother up.
Genius. More, please!
Sat Apr 06 2019 VIWarheitI really, really love this game. Elegant, clever, challenging... it’s just awesome. The one thing that might make it better would be more versions at each mechanical level - because sometimes it’s nice to not have to learn a new mechanic, and just enjoy using the skill I’ve just learned. But even so - pure genius.
