SHINE - Journey Of Light

It's a beautiful game that can either be challenging or very relaxing, depending on your settings. I'm giving it only 4 stars because it has no captions, so isn't very accessible in that way and it's far too easy to get stuck in the geometry and have to restart. I have the Play Pass and didn't run into any ads.

Time waster. You control a ball of light that slowly joins others alike. It is very slow with glitches if you wander too high it gets stuck in the tree. Nice graphics and music though. Perhaps good for stubborn tots addicted to ipads who refuse to sleep

First off it's a beautiful game. Buut the ads are a nightmare. I have play pass, and with it, there shouldn't be any ads, yet they're there regardless. It has a bubble that says 'remove adds' but when clicked it takes you to a screen that suggests you watch an add to keep playing... Even when offline. They have ads within the game system so you can't be rid of it. Overall it's not as enjoyable as it would be.

The fact that you can only control vertical movement is very frustrating. There can be times you may want to go back a bit but can't. The "moonie" is a very slow moving piece and I wish it were a bit faster. Another issue is the nonstop ads. I get you need to make money off this game somehow, but other games do just as well with ads you can actually skip. Its just annoying when I want to move on to the next level and I have to sit through a 30 sec ad. And who puts an ad when you die??? Cmon.

I love this game. The visuals are amazing, soundtrack is exceptionally beautiful. The only problem is I've been stuck on level 38 for a week. Edit: Nvm that, I didn't know there was an explore option. Another edit: I'm back. I'd like ro compare this game to the Wildworks creation, Fer.al, because that's how much I love the graphics.

This game is really beautiful but what ruins it is the controls are very jarring and don't go with the flow of the game. The frequency and length of the ads are frustrating as well. I would love for the creators to create an animated movie/show. I think it would be very enjoyable because I love the animation and music.

really this game is amazing, i love the visuals, the music and i love the vibe altogether, BUT the unskipable ads are just atrocious, they really kill of the relaxing factor of the game and i really dont want to spend money for something that you shouldnt be paying for. all im asking is to let us skip these 30 second ads. Sincearly, a player with high hopes

@Fox&Sheep : Hello! When I first started the game It was a very nice experience with the intro and I played levels until I reached level 3. But somehow whenever I'm trying to beat the level the everthing fades and turns black, I tried many times and I even collected all th light shinies that I have discovered. Am I doing something wrong? I'm stuck on level 3! Can you help me? Is the darkness the part of the game because It keeps happening and I lose everytime when I'm near the end...

i only have one real complaint for this game, but it's a big one. there are no captions/subtitles available. i have an auditory processing disorder, and i'm sure many would-be players of the game are deaf or hard of hearing and would greatly appreciate the option to turn on captions/subtitles. please remedy this. if the voice of the narrator is reading from a script there is no excuse not to have that script typed up into captions to improve accessibility.

A beautiful game, truly. Intriguing and challenging, yet simple and fun! Its perfect for what it is trying to achieve, but sadly, I have focus problems and cannot pay attention to the game, as it is slow going. But truly beautiful and creative!

Die. Ad. New level. Ad. Checkpoint. Ad. Finish level. Ad. Can't really get into a Game that is basically back to back ads. But no ads? Not going to buy it if I can't get enough GameSpy in to enjoy the game. Also it is full of its own ads for the devs other games and plays them even offline.

My God this is dull. It may just be the dullest thing I've ever played and no amount of breathtaking visuals or scintillating soundtrack is ever going to help. At least there are no ads I suppose (or at least in the 5 levels I played before uninstalling it). Going back to watching paint drying instead.

Very relaxing and still entertaining. After a few levels you are given the option to buy the full version, but you can also continue with ads instead. But if someone puts in the work to develop an app does it not make sense that they should be supported in that? just saying.

Amazing game, calming and relaxing. Completely destroyed by the ads. Watch a 30+ second ad everytime you start, every time you go to a level, EVERYTIME YOU RESTART A LEVEL. It's a slow moving game dragged to a snail's pace when you realize you're spending more time watching ads than playing the game itself

While I am annoyed that I can only play through the first world, I still found this game a relaxing experience to play through with surreal environments, a simple introduction to the world and a voice actor talented enough to make me feel like I'm listening to someone reading a fairytale. Come to think of it, you lot actually handled that pretty well. Maybe when I return, I might be able to get the full version to find out what happens next. 🌌🌟🌠🌌🌟🌠

I hate giving bad reviews and this is probably the only game ive ever givin 1 star to. Imagine Badland but, Mind numbingly, shoot yourself in the head slow and with very little interesting challenge/obstacles. Your literally tapping the screen making a ball rise and fall collecting light till you get to exit but with ZERO pace change. Your forced to go ultra slow every level. I uninstalled after 4 levels. It was so slow it was infuriating and you die because you cant grab light quickly.

Okay so first off I love this game, it's probably one of my favorites that I've ever played. It's very peaceful and and so well designed, love the music, and the graphics are amazing! I was enjoying this game so much, but I can't get passed a level called "stuck" lol, very fitting. Anyway I've had it for like 2 or 3 years now, but I don't delete it because I keep hoping I'll beat it one-day. But regardless of that this game is awesome! Maybe you guys will have better luck than me.

This is a game you should definitely give a go because it's control is simple and the graphics are very nice , you might love the story too as everyone else did. Have a delightful journey.

This is such a beautiful game. I loved the music, the graphics and the art. It's relaxing and fun but also challenging! It tells a great story and sent chills up my spine when i finished it. Overall, i was glad i stumbled upon this amazing game!! Can't wait for another one!

Fun to get through all the mazes of the game and collect all of your lights on the wall of the mazes of the game! I really enjoyed it in truth rightfully so it was very relaxing to see how I was going to get through it all of the most remarkable graphic design in the walled areas of the games caves and caverns in which I was the little living light in the garden of the Earth-caverns in a relatively calm atmosphere in the environment of the world underground and Love wandering through it all! Fun!

This game is beautiful! The story line isn't very complex, so it's very relaxing. The concept is simple: guide your little spark to the next one before your spark fades in order to complete a maze. But in practice, it can be rather challenging. Would love to see a sequel!

Seriously controls having only vertical is so frustrating. I was supposed to play this but knowing the controls makes me want to close the game. Amazing story though.

Very beautiful and lovely ethereal music. I thought wow this is boring but I think that this is the point of this game, kind of like a meditation you don't really have to think just follow the balls of light with a gentle finger touch, so I'm finding it relaxing instead of boring, kind of like the game Gemini (love this one) or my meditation game, all of these games seem to be similar

ok this game sure is nice, But the controls, I have played this many times and I'm still trying to adopt these controls. Whenever I press it doesn't go up or fly or jump or whatever you call it, but otherwise this game is nice and calm, So I guess I'll give you a three star

I enjoy the graphics, the music and the mysteries except for the Ads that are so annoying.. it's a waste of time watching those..

A very weak demo. The free demo is very repetitive and limited. at the end of the demo you are shown a trailer for the game and offered to buy the game to continue. A game demo should be engaging. Drawing the player in and making him or her want to continue. This demo is almost pointless and doesn't fully explain the game mechanics.
