Manifold Garden

Very calming game. The puzzles are not to complicated and easy to understand.
I strongly recommend it.

This is an incredibly mind bending game. The sense of repeating infinities is used to tremendous effect. Its like youre in an mc escher painting after you found some fun guys on a foraging trip. perfect for when your climbing peaks and valleys.

Very chill game that's also fun!

This game is special. It's moving art, both visually and audibly. The puzzle solving is very good. Sometimes frustrating because you've not quite stepped far enough into the void to get it right, then you do, and you feel amazing. The game is about 6 ish hours long which is about exactly right. No timers, no failure states, save game is exactly where you left it. Recommended.

Novel puzzle game with interesting visuals.

cool game, 100%ing was tedious tho, the game is at is best when it allows you to mess around

Manifold Garden is a good game

The puzzles are simple, which works perfectly because the real ingredient here is the stunning visual design.
You just run through astonishing views.
Audio design is spot on.

Thank you for such a good game!

Simple and relaxing

This game is honestly one of the greatest experiences I've had playing games, I've laughed, cried, gotten mad and been confused all in the span of a few hours. Seriously, get this game, from the mind blowing visuals to the creative puzzles, it's only £16.75, join me and others who have experienced this masterpiece

The person who made this game is a genius. I enjoy the amazing infinite space in this game and I think this is one of the best puzzle games even compared to Portal.

A masterpiece. If you're a fan of first-person puzzle games, this is a must play.

Portal opened the door to the genre, Talos Principle enriched it, but Manifold Garden distills the formula to its beautiful, raw fundamentals. There is no story here per se, nor flashy graphics, just a pure atmospheric experience that drenches you in wide-open geometry and ambient music.

The puzzles are many and wonderful, having you play with colors, blocks, streams, gravity redirection, and mind-bending non-Euclidean spaces, which present themselves to you gradually and thoughtfully. There's no handholding. Instead exploration and experimentation will yield the many a-ha moments. I managed to complete the game without any guide, and though I often felt challenged I never felt the solutions were unfair or obscure. Think, try, and think again. And be rewarded.

I was fully engrossed and smiling from beginning to end. What a marvelous achievement.

It's mind blowing how this game handles rendering with solid FPS, also the menu design is very satisfying.

Easy recommend at full price. If you ever wanted to explore the inside of an MC Escher painting. Tried playing while I was high and nearly barfed. Will Try again with VR mod using Rai Pal. Barf Pro Max Ultra is not a thing.

great game. well designed..

Love this game.

Trippy visuals, interesting gravity based puzzles. What a beautiful game

Amazing space bending puzzle

ya like non-euclidean geometry and puzzle games? play it right now

Game is rather tedious than interesting. Too much walking.

Beautiful game with a great implementation of solving puzzles by changing gravity.
The game can be played more than once as the different areas are connected in a way that allows you to take things from one area to the other !
You can also take beautiful screenshots with the in-game photo mode.

Truly the most aesthetically pleasing tree-growing simulator of all time

Single sitting completion!
Good puzzle game, great visuals!

Some puzzles were more fun than others. The 3 block up/down small room puzzle was weird, thats the one that I spent so much time in. Every other puzzle did not take me that much. Had the awareness to get them all in good pacing.

Regardless, good. Liked it!

The game might not have a story but it is unique and beautiful. The level design is awesome. It's short in duration and the puzzles are not too hard. Loved it.

Man, what did I just witness!!! At the beginning I got a little bored with the minimalistic theme but soon adapted. This game is like describing a mystical/religious experience, especially the ending. like WOW! It was beautiful! The idea of implying infinity in a game, as done masterfully here is very unique! I really liked it!
This is the kind of games that I would love to see the future generations make!
I think the reason I even got tired of gaming in the first place in general was because everyone is trying to make pretty much the same crappy games that are spiritually/intellectually/existentially shallow, related either to some kinda point system, weapons and enemies, loot and cliche lores. Even the AAA titles. They leave you with a headache and more anxiety, and It's not that interesting.
THIS GAME though, is the kind of out of the box thinking that can elevate ones intellect, flirts with ones consciousness and brings one into a whole different dimension. Very nicely done! it was also very meditative while not bounding the player to one direction of gravity. Puzzles were nice too, not too easy but doable. Very nice!

I'm looking for more game with a philosophical, spiritual, religious-experience theme! There needs to be a completely separate genre on Steam for games such as this one, Everything or Subliminal. Games that explore mystical dimensions of the human intellect, subconscious and imagination!

Really liked it! 10/10

Mind boggling, imaginative and surreal game with an ending that feels like how I imagine a wacky mushroom trip. So good to see a unique and original game like this. Congrats and thanks to the developers. The only small drawback is the short play duration.

Unique puzzles. None of them too hard. Very entertaining.

This is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Sometimes I boot it up just to look around the architectural design of the final level again. The puzzle designs were pretty good, with a few giant spikes in difficulty and then going back to weirdly easy. It's no Lingo, that's for sure.

Also, if you're struggling with "The Game is Not Enough" just do the any% strategy it's way funnier

An incredible puzzle game! The graphics and level design are fantastic. There were a few times I got stuck and had to consult the internet, but otherwise I had a fantastic experience. It's rare to find a video game with no characters and a vague plot if any that inspires such pure awe.
My only caveat is if you have any visual sensitivities I'd be cautious, as there were a few times I legitimately got dizzy in parts where I had to change gravity quickly.

ONLY 4 HOURS?!? I thought i had spent at least 6 XD
What a wonderfully gorgeous surreal weird experience this game was.
There we lots of times where i was just left asking "It can't top this" and yet it did!!!
I do not have the ability to describe just how much i LOVED this experience.
This this game, if one can call it that, is supposed to explain some kind of story. it's UTTERLY lost on me.
However, it was just to offer one heck of a mind bending experience, it delivered on that in so many ways that words fails to do that justice.
The puzzles bothered me a wee bit, but they never left me stumped (except for that one time where i was just not able to use my dang eyes from just sitting there going "wow" hehehe.)

I saw a lot of small doors and corridors that required cubes to open, no clue how to get cubes TO those doors. Maybe there is a youtube vid to show what secrets they hide.

9/10 (-1 from not having a button to allow me to make sounds on command to enjoy the amazing echo in these 'rooms'! - Lost count on how many times i have been wanting to just yell out HELLO! or BOOBIES or some other dumb thing or whistle or the like. Just because the echo was so well done here.)

I LOVE the hard THUMP when you land from high enough distance. Made me smile each time. There is just something immensly satisfying about that hard thump when you land.

It's pretty much just looking through MC Escher's kaleidoscope while overdosing on acid.

Seriously, I think this was cool little puzzle game. The puzzles aren't super deep and won't blow your mind, but they make good use of the primary mechanics: infinitely tiled levels and the ability to change which way is "up". The puzzles were enjoyable. I did find one level really annoying, but otherwise the game breezed by. The visuals are obviously really good. This might be the first time a game made me feel physically "off". Not ill, but my brain definitely had trouble with the direction changes. Look over an edge, and you'll probably see the entire level infinitely tiled into the max draw distance. These made the game really disorienting. But, I think that it managed to be disorienting that in a tolerable way. I don't see a way where you could make this concept not-disorienting.

My only real gameplay complaint is the lack of a jump button. I had several instances where I had to stick to different walls because I couldn't make my way up a very small ledge. Then, I had to go out of my way and climb up several other walls to get up onto that very small ledge. That was the best case. In the worst case, I would fall off a ledge and have to spend several minutes to get back to where I needed to be. These instances were never intrinsic to the puzzles. The game just wasted my time because the controls aren't great.

If you like puzzle games or are looking for a trippy experience, I'd recommend. Otherwise, $20 does seem a little steep for the amount of variety and content (I got it on sale for less).

Its a puzzel game that can be furstating at times but it has MC-eshure art style that is just so beutiful and artistic that its makes up for some times getting lost in the puzzels. Great game over all. 5/5 for the puzzels, sound, art, and good guides to hlep get though puzels if your stuck. The end is like a 2001 space oddicy.

Yeah it was very, very nice. The audio treatment was as spectacular, if not more so, than i expected.

I wish i'd been able to complete some of challenges on my own but i think that that is on perceptual me.

I was hoping for the puzzles to be a bit more difficult. Many of the solutions were so similar that it didn't feel satisfying completing them and some were so short that it made me wonder if I accidentally skipped something. The atmosphere of the game is what I think they succeeded at but I don't think that atmosphere alone makes it worth playing.

Really good and confusing

If you like games like portal or superliminal then you'll love this

Did enjoy the game but motion sickness made it hard to play longer then 15 minutes so I'd recomend against it.

Amazing game with gravity, non-euclidian puzzles and portals and more!! Really nice. Could a use a little more tutorial puzzles to introduce you to some mechanics, you will figure out most things easily enough though. Very fun so far, looking forward to the finale > It was pretty hard! Nice one. Play Antichamber as well, it is harder than this.

To someone that isn't fluent in the contrivances of the puzzle game genre, this game is absolutely infuriating and completely unplayable. The game is gorgeous, and if you've been playing these types of games for years, then you'll probably have a great time. For anyone else, avoid like the plague.

Down is where you stand on it. And the level you move in is also repeated ad infinitum in every direction you look. The less you try to orient yourself, the better you get along. Clearly inspired by Antichamber, it has its own completely wordless spin on non-Euclidean space and extends the concept of "if you go out one side of the screen you come back in on the opposite side" to include the third dimension. I love it.

Very neat first-person puzzler! Couple of frustrating parts, but the difficulty was pretty well balanced.
The way space wraps into itself is was very different from that to which I'm accustomed. A bit mind-blowing, though you do get used to it.
The music is excellent. Also, many surfaces and actions make tones that weave into the overall soundtrack; in this way, it felt a bit like playing Monument Valley.

The experience was mostly meditative. Sometimes, I really wished I could move faster. The movement speed is good, but the scale of levels sometimes left me feeling impatient getting from point A to point B.
I recommend playing this when you're in the mood to take your time and enjoy the sights and sounds. :-)

Amazing puzzle game, super immersive, relaxing, challenging and original. Not too long if you know what you're doing, the first run took me about 5 hs to beat. It's also one of those games that are a work of art, besides being a game.

it's funny how games with deep stories never get a deep touch in me, then a game, with 0 humans, only concepts, makes me feel strong emotions like crying from joy. i respect works like this so much. thank you.

Great looking game, with VVVVVV taken into 3D. Everything revolves around you switching the direction of gravity, with infinitely repeating patterns and portals.

It is a very easy and very short game. The puzzles are trivial. It can be quite relaxing walking through the game and admiring the visuals.

Recommended, if you want a short, but pretty game with easy puzzles.

Great trippy game, Good puzzles, but they become less complicated towards the end. While at first you've had many cubes to connect with various things, the more you progress, the more it narrows down to one, with the correct sequence of steps to progress. There were more hidden things to do which is good.
The ending has taken pointless minutes of my life. There was no skip button.

This is an absolutely wonderful game. The environment is stunning, often expanding into large gaping rooms with no foreseeable end, the puzzles are fun and enjoyable, the gravity shifting movement system and portals were really fun to mess around with, and the visuals are beautiful. The game is relatively short, but it utilizes every second to give you a top quality experience. In my opinion, the price is a bit too much for the playtime you'll get out of it, but I couldn't recommend it enough if it's on sale.

9/10 - Highly recommend when on sale

With the exception of one or two puzzles, I had a great time. Relaxing and really enjoyed how the simple look of the game plays with the puzzles.

The novelty of the non-euclidean space runs off rather quickly and the puzzles are a tad too easy, but it is a nice chill experience and at 4 hours, it doesn't overstay its welcome.

Many interesting and fun moments ! The ending is spectacular.

I had many eureka moments. Only one puzzle felt unfair, until I realised I completed the puzzle too early later ...

Would recommend !

When I first played Manifold Garden, I thought "this game reminds me of Kairo and Q.U.B.E." (two of my favorite games). As I kept playing, I felt awe as I saw these infinite rooms, and the music makes you feel you are there! I admit I picked Manifold Garden for the images in the store page, but in no any they represent the full wonder of this game: in other words, the expaction was way lower the the amazing reality that is Manifold Garden! I urge you to add this great game to your library!!!

It's the infinite looping levels that really sell this game. As others have said, the 'game' parts are secondary when compared to the abstract looping trippy architecture that is just a treat to explore and contemplate.
