Perloo is a geometric fairy tale. Abandon your assumptions, solve a series of mind-bending challenges and find your way to the true world.

Perloo is a compact one-of-a-kind puzzle adventure that challenges you to think outside of your comfort zone. See how the real world influences the virtual one – and vice versa. Perloo plays with physics, quantum mechanics, philosophy, optics and perception to create a world with rules of its own.

Perloo is a ludic experiment, perhaps even a philosophical proposition. But most of all, Perloo is an excruciatingly hard puzzle game. You might cry.

‣ Nine mind-bending puzzles that will leave you pulling your hair out
‣ Never know what’s next with challenges that force you to think outside the black (or white, or champagne) box
‣ Automatically saves your game for the illusion of progress
‣ Original soundtrack by Ella Empress and the Layers of Reality
‣ Supported by philosophers

Pros and cons of Perloo app for iPhone and iPad

Perloo app good for

this game is just perfect and challenging, but too short, you should make it longer.
Are you f-qing kidding me I just quitted it and now I have to start all over from watching the video? I really wanna rate a 1
Id give it 5 but I dont like having to start over everytime I have to close it. Im sure youll get many complaints of this. Its frustrating getting to lvl 6 after being stuck on the second lvl so long then having to go through that torture again.

Some bad moments

On iPhone 6 Plus With iOS 9.3.1the app will only give a black screen
But the tilt controls ruin the experience for me. It looks like it is a cool game, but I dont have the patience do do that second level with tilt controls.
So pretty and awesomely challenging. Very spacial problems. The prism level broke my brain and I liked it.
Does not save progress when exiting the app, at least not on latest iPod touch, most recent iOs.
The last one took the longest to figure out but I got it eventually. Some of it felt like I solved it by luck. Im not even sure how I got the sound/illusion one. I just... Did. Interesting though!
Cant play the game due to unwillingness to sit/stand just to play. Puzzles and sofas belong together. 2 stars for what looks like a perfectly circular shape one is supposed to tilt over to a hole on first level.
