GREAT GAME! I had a problem installing the app. Games support were fantastic and the game works perfectly now.

Best game of its type I've seen. Relaxing and fun. Runs perfectly on galaxy note. Edit: after long periods of play touchscreen controls become erratic. Time swipes stop working and instead are read as moving your mote. Very annoying. Will put back up to 5 stars if fixed.

I'm giving it a five star, but I hope you still read the review. Even on the galaxy nexus I'm getting a choppy graphical fps when the game gets intense or a lot of particles are involved. Loving the game all around it's truly a worm of art. The sounds and graphics working together makes this game so unique and fun.

Patience and relaxed concentration needed. Beautiful visuals and soundtrack. Great concept, brilliantly realized. Play the free demo, then try to resist buying the full app 15 minutes later.

This is by far one of the coolest games I have ever played on an android! Controls are simple and the objectives to beat each level are clear. The concept of "Absorb or be Absorbed" is executed brilliantly. The soundtrack is superb and really immerses you in the game with ambient aquatic sounds. I truly would recommend playing this game with headphones to further enjoy your gameplay experience. Game played using HTC EVO 3D

Bad: eats battery, force closes once every few levels. Good: Slick game, nice to see something different as well. Works very well on a Samsung Galaxy S II (MIUI build).

Ok this is another one of them games that has been so hyped up that you think you have to have it. Dont get me wrong. Its an ok game but not worth the money or the prase that its getting. The sound trax are quite chilled but can get anoying at times. Its an old skool game with a new skool twist. The maths are no different than the old Astroids or Diffender. Its not RELAXING at all. Once you get the hang of it you will be tapping away at the screen like it was the 100m in the old Track and Field. Lol. Hype ;
