What a beautiful and unique puzzle experience.
We're zooming in and out and moving pictures while a complex story unfolds without words.
(I won't spoil it here of course but I'll admit that I didn't understand all the connections at first and looked it up after completing the game. I think it's pretty cool while still mysterious, and everyone has to interpret it for themselves.)
I enjoyed it very much!

Amazing short puzzle game with great art style, unique mechanic and great story! Hidden gem of indie puzzle games for sure.

I liked the game a lot. The puzzles are actually hard and they make you think so much outside the box. Maybe I lack the proper term to describe it but it goes beyond just logical thinking, you need to find patters in terms of space and aesthetics and probably suspend your understanding of the real world mechanics because in this labyrinth every option is viable. The art is sublime and the story finds itself in a magical surrealism. You should know it IS a very short game, so manage your expectations for it is a delight to play but you probably won't replay it again.

The game is beautiful, the music is nice, the puzzles are unique. You can blow through the game in under 30 minutes (you actually have to for one of the achievements) so I recommend buying it on sale.

Built around the concept of dimensions, Gorogoa weaves its story thru a 4-panel comic format. The puzzles hit just the right difficulty, the art style feels warmly familiar, and 2 narrative threads intertwine into a complete worldview. Its steeped in a religious atmosphere art has been achieved.

Almost a decade after I heard about Gorogoa, I've finally got to it. This is one of my favorite puzzle games I've played. What an incredible puzzle mechanic.
Things start very simple and at first I was not impressed. I felt like it was more about showing how clever the developer was than allowing me to feel clever by solving puzzles.
But the complexity quickly ramped up and I was able to feel satisfaction from solving puzzles, as well as awe at the incredible cleverness of the developer. The creativity here is a demonstration of true brilliance and I'm grateful that I could experience it.

This was a good game. It took me a hot minute to sort out how to do it and once I did, it picked up from there with it getting progressively harder. The fourth level was actually the hardest but this was great! Wish there were more like this. It really made me think! The story art had a lot to it as well which I would like to play again to better understand the war and everything that was going on. Great game!!!
