Why Do No More Games Like This One Exist?
Trust me with your heart—we all would have been best off receiving more games like this one, rather than literal brainrot, and it’s quite souring that we don’t at present for some reason. There isn’t any reason to produce the hundredth Steal A Brainrot Obby instead of another glorious game such as this one.

I thought there would be a story
It seems its just breaking tiles. What’s the big deal? It is not living up to its hype

Kensho is a mind-blowing 5-star game app!
Kensho is an artful treat for your senses of sight and hearing, while challenging your mind, analytical skills, and imagination! ~Well-worth the $4 fee! So happy to have discovered this. I see it’s won many game-industry awards; well-deserved.

Phone overheated?
I really enjoy this game, but I’ve noticed that
my phone will start to get unusually hot after just a few minutes of playing. This doesn’t happen with any other app except this one. My phone will also automatically dim the brightness (even though it says it’s all the way up) once it has gotten hot. It’s a bit concerning that an app can cause that. Other than that, the game concept is great.

Not challenging nor entertaining.
Expensive price for a very low level puzzle game. It’s not challenging at all and the puzzles don’t really evolve despite adding barriers each “level.” The music will only play if you have headphones and the cut scenes are annoying and pointless. Overall not what I was hoping for in a puzzle game, especially one that cost money.

Very noice 😛
This game is a good puzzle game, reminds me a little but of Monument Valley, it’s a puzzle game, but it’s got a sort of story behind it, there’s a main character, and it’s even a little ominous! 😦 It’s kinda confusing though, plus, there’s not really a clear way of getting the piece of the key 🤔 I like how there is a puzzle to open the door though and I love the cute Kenshō deer!! 😊🦌 btw would have rated 4 1/2 stars ✨ but I don’t think I’m able too 🤨 good game 👍👍👍

Not worth paying for..
I am all about finding free games to play but this one was listed as an editor’s choice so I trusted that evaluation. Turns out I didn’t get my money’s worth. While the game is captivating I think I expected a little more, and once I was completely engaged, the levels ended. Wow, I thought, already? As I said in my title, not worth paying for.

A Joy to Experience
At first I was like “okay why is this game $4?” And then I listened with my in-ear monitors and I really got to appreciate the sound masterpiece that it is. Then I noticed the visuals in the cut scenes. It has me thinking what it could all be about as the drama unfolds. I am determined to experience this all the way through. There is something satisfying when you hear the stones move especially when you match 3. I can’t stress enough, I recommend in-ear monitors as opposed to regular earbuds. This game is a symphony. ***** Five Stars

“Threes” with color, but without challenge nor cutes
This game has everything you’d want from “Monument Valley” or other minimalistic-but-gorgeous games ... it looks great & taxes your battery, it sounds great with melodies lifted straight from Threes, it has lots of effects when you do the slightest move, it has long flowery cutscenes that convey little meaning, it has mysterious glyphs on the wall like Fez but don’t seem to matter, and it has a cube character that I couldn’t give 2 poop emojis about. I bought this for 99c just to have a Threes-like experience with some new twists like immovable stones, but I wouldn’t have paid any more because I know I’ll finish it once & erase it, and not think too hard about a 1-eyed cube that keeps beating itself against locked doors. Three 💩’s out of 5.

A really beautiful puzzle game
Not only is the gameplay really fun and just challenging enough, the whole game has such a beautiful aesthetic to it. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. Also tell your music guy that he killed it!!

It's cool but...
I find the game more frustrating than fun, and although the gameplay mechanics are interesting and cool, the structure of the game disappoints me: It relies on random generation. I love the puzzles that unlock the doors (those don't rely on randomness), but the main game feels luck based. This is why I heavily prefer puzzle games with specificly designed levels, rather than games like this and candy crush where random generation is a part of the game, and the levels are different each time they're played. It’s more of a strategy game, which isn’t my thing but that’s just me.
If puzzles that rely on random generation are your cup of tea, get the game... but there are some really great puzzles out there that are so much better. I guess it depends on what you’re looking for.
Graphics are very impressive here, music is nice, gotta say though.

Pretty, but also pretty tedious
Graphics are beautiful.
I like the specifically designed puzzles in between levels to unlock the doors, but the main gameplay is randomly generated and is rather tedious.

Good game, but..
Omg this game amazes me! But I just have one glitch.if I want to start a level ( after leaving to game ) it will always restart! I don’t know why! It says the words continue, but it just restarts PLEASE FIX THIS! otherwise the graphics are amazing, and it is fun.

Well worth the time and money!
This game is perfectly genius. Not too many levels so it feels endless, not too few that it’s not worth the money. Not too hard so that it feels impossible, but not too easy, so every move takes thought. The graphics are beautiful, the lights and animations, everything. The clicking sounds when you move the tiles and other little sound effects add so much depth to the game. The little puzzles to open the doors are really fun, it’s a nice change of pace so it’s not tile after tile. I love the camera feature, a wonderful addition and a fantastic idea. I have really grown attached to all of the characters. The small noises they make and the music that accompanies them gives them an emotional ambience, and if it wasn’t clear enough what feeling was on display, the little box character has the little emoticons that are almost tacky, but just within the lines. Everything is so thoughtfully calculated. I wish there was a statue or something of the box-character, to go along with the deer. I’d buy it for sure. I look forward to more apps from 52!

Great game but needs update!
This is a great game but it’s due for an update. I’ve waited for an update for a while now and there hasn’t been one for a long time ever since November or December. I like the way this game makes you think out of the box to come up with a solution in order to solve the puzzles it shows. I just wish there were more levels so that I can play. Please add more levels to the game and make it more stable. Thank you!

Tired of seeing ads!
Kenshō is a beautiful “match three” style with vibrant colors and addictive music. One started, it’s hard to stop playing.
What annoys me about this game is that after paying its $3.99 price tag I still have ads popping up directing to an Etsy page asking me to buy a stuffed deer. If this were a 99¢ title with an in-app-purchase option to remove the ads I’d get it. Hopefully future versions of this game will skip the ads.

I don’t understand
I don’t get how to pass the level I’m on ,if it’s a level at all, or if it’s the end of the game. It’s just a black screen with a white block that I can only move up slightly and that’s it. Can’t get back to menu or home screen it just stays stuck on this.

What an incredibly boring game for which to pay
‘Nuf said; just plain boring beyond belief. I play the puzzles with no idea what I am doing. I lose a round because of blocking tiles, but I lose no progress, just restart the individual level. There is no rhythm or reason to why I am playing, and variety is completely absent. Cannot believe I trusted all the reviews to pay for this game. So disappointed.

Fundamentally Flawed Design, Improved!
Update: Of the solutions I listed below, #2 was implemented. Yay! However, it is still true that you can somewhat “muscle” your way through the game. There is no penalty to filling the board, so you can still win any level by repeatedly pressing one button until you get lucky. However, smart play just speeds things up.
Old Review:
This is a beautiful game with a fundamental design flaw: often times the best way to progress is to fill your board and “lose”.
I’ll try and explain as succinctly as possible:
1) Puzzles have a set start place.
2) Each requires you to gain five pieces.
3) They get harder as they go and your board fills up.
4) If you fail, it restarts to puzzle 1 of 5.
5) However, you don’t lose any collected pieces!
Therefore, it’s boring but possible to progress like this:
1) Get a piece.
2) Fail on purpose.
3) Get that same piece again.
-repeat until done
Possible fixes:
1) Lose collected pieces: players must collect all five without failing.
2) Randomize the start of each puzzle.
3) Add an achievement of some kind for finishing without losing.
This game is artsy enough, one of those fixes may be present but invisible to me at this point.

Beautiful Puzzle Game
Wonderful gameplay that gets slightly harder as you go, but you aren’t overly penalized for getting part of a puzzle wrong. The between puzzle interludes are beautiful, and I love that there are no hearts, ask friends for help, or unlock with 50 million diamonds gimmicks. Worth every penny for sure.

Game designers take note
This is what mobile gaming should strive to be. Simple to learn but can be challenging to master. Beautiful graphics. Engrossing sound. And most importantly - not designed to make you pay to play.
Take my money - and when you make something new, take my money again.
Thank you for making this beautiful game

lackng instructions, editor’s choice of crap
played fora bit and it was pretty cool... but then i get to a point that i can get rid of blocks of same color...why???? did i make ss something? doesnt matter because i dont know what to do to get the key an i deleted the game...editor’s choice? it edit’s crap that i took a chance on and will not trust the editors any longer just because it has ambient music and a good 1hr theme who are getting kick backs from these companies for the awards!

Perception
I bought this app expecting it to have the stellar qualities of Monument Valley. However, I was very disappointed. IMHO, it takes little skill to clear the slides. While the video and music are hyped as gorgeous & tranquil, I did not find it so. I especially disliked the emoji popping up in the scenery but perhaps this is a cultural thing. Save your $$$.

Brilliant
This game is brilliant! The story is very entrancing, and the game play is absolutely made with the music. I love that each level is unique and that if you “fail” you don’t have to start all over on building all the keys, you only have to start over on the single piece of the key you are currently trying to get. The graphics of this game are incredible and very immersive! I don’t really have any complaints about this game. This might be my new favorite! I just hope it last a bit because I’m loving it! update***** PLEASE MAKE A SEQUAL!!!!

Short for a paid app
I played this game for a week or two and somehow it’s done??
It’s beautiful, the storyline, the music, the visuals are stunning. I loved how if you couldn’t quite pass a level, you wouldn’t lose all your progress for the level/ stage you were on.
But for playing a bit every day, to have the game be over, (at least that’s what I surmise with the cut scenes and credits), I’m a bit disappointed.

Meh
We have all seen this game before. Pretty yet predictable graphics, a bland but unobnoxious soundtrack and you move a shape (squares) around to make lines of 3 of the same color blow up in a manner that gets progressively harder. Don’t waste your money. There are lots of free games just as good. All you’re get by paying for this is a pack of ads. Honestly, anyone online long enough to be downloading their own apps is so desensitized to ads that they are easy to ignore. Save your money.
