Ativeil is a peculiar, but an extremely interesting puzzle game. Constructed as a scrapbook of various puzzles, you'll probably end up beating your brains out trying to solve them all. They'll challenge not only your creative thinking, but also your mathematical skills, reflexes and movement precision .
Each room that you visit (representing one level of the game) contains a puzzle to solve; finding its solution will grant access to an extra area that contains a yellow ball - your target for each level. There are no restrictions in regards to the order of solving the puzzles - all the rooms are accessible from the beginning, even those located in other worlds (there are three separate worlds with specific graphic themes and puzzle types). This allows you on the one hand to try a new puzzle if you're stuck on the current one and on the second hand, to use objects from one room into another - some levels are set up so that you won't be able to solve them using only the objects present in that room. Having no timers reduces considerably the stress of finding a solution asap - and you won't be able to do so anyway, since most of the challenges require a lot of trial and error and finicky controls.
The game offers a surprising amount of different puzzle types:
Optical puzzles - in which you have to guide colored rays of light on specific paths, using blocks of various shapes. You'll need to find out the right reflection / refraction angles using the mirrors that cover the blocks, or splitting one white ray of light into multiple colored rays using a prism.
Mechanical puzzles - in which you control from afar a device that can grab / interact with other objects
Platforming puzzles - in which your jumping accuracy will be tested via platforms that turn upside down or disappear from under your feet or via springs that propel you high up in the air - these requiring you to calculate with precision the landing spots
Logic puzzles - Flood It, Lights Out variants, Tilting Ball Maze etc.
and many others.
There are also some teddy bear collectibles present in the game - they're located in visible but usually inaccessible spots - getting to them is an extra challenge / puzzle to solve. Additionally, there are a few extra levels that can be unlocked only after you reach end game.
Ativeil has a lot of content, brilliant puzzles supported by beautiful graphics and an amazing soundtrack comprising of several relaxing piano songs. The abundance of levels with an assorted mix of mechanics will keep you occupied for hours. But will you manage to beat them all? Either way, I highly recommend to give this amazing game a try, as long as you're passionate about brain challenges.

Fantastic game, exactly my type of game. It is basically a series of around 80 puzzles, you can do them in any order with no time limit or other penalties. Very relaxing and a huge variety of puzzle types. Very sad when it finished. The graphics are beautiful, gameplay is simple. I played for over 15 hours and my (grown up) kids had a go, absolute value for money. Puzzles range from easy to hard, variety is what this game is all about. If you're a puzzle fan this just has to be in your collection. Hope there's more to come.

Interesting game, lots of cool puzzles that involve sound and music. Can be a little frustrating, but is lots of fun to play!

Relaxing piano.
A seemingly infinite supply of awesome puzzles to solve.
Beautiful environments with some clever mechanics.
Every time I thought I had found the end of the game, another huge area opened up.
It would be nice to have a counter that tells me how many puzzles I have solved. It doesn't need to have an out of number like 4/100 but knowing how many I have completed would be great.
Check this game out.

I have 10 hrs of game play and have almost completed zone 1. A wonderful stress free game of imaginative puzzles. Kudos to the developer. A constant stream of relaxing music makes game play enjoyable even with the volume up a few decibels. Some of the puzzles are relatively simple while others require some extreme planning. Teddy bear collection has been a challenge in few rooms so far. Definitely a must for a gamer who wants puzzles and not a story line.
