Great, relaxing mind-bending puzzles

This is a nice little game to get enough of a challenge in while perhaps waiting in line, relaxing after a tough day or challenge the kids to stretch their imaginations a bit. Some levels are trickier than others but they’re all quite doable without any kind of hint system or walkthrough. Reminds me of a much more simplistic and less-involved version of The Bridge (which is another great game I’m still waiting for on mobile). A bit of a mind-bending puzzle game. You can tap or swipe to lead the block around. Not sure why another reviewer broke their phone as you certainly don’t need to tap or swipe that hard. Calibration shouldn’t be that intense.

Nice Relaxing Game

I love the simplicity of hocus and how relaxing it is. The little puzzles get more challenging over time, but never in a frustrating way. Some may say that it’s too basic, but I appreciate the muted color scheme, dreamy music, and the game’s ability to get you to just focus on moving the little cube around to its goal. I love to play when I’m stressed or just want to do something calming. My only disappointment was that I eventually ran out of puzzles. So I’m very glad hocus 2 was released!

Great game but…

I like this game very much. It’s stimulating and relaxing at the same time. Gets my mind off my world and allows me to concentrate on a red cube. One question though: I’d love to know who’s in first place, what their score is and what level they’re at. But I can’t possibly scroll from my position in 372,000 (something like that) to find out. Can’t you put a button that jumps to the top of the Global listings?

Great game. Just one thing.

Can we get iCloud progress sync. Just installed the game on my iPad and none of my progress is a available and if I want to play on that device I have start from level 1 again.

Beautiful, but boring

Games like this are beautifully crafted and pretty to look at but the novelty quickly wears off when you realize how easy they are. There isn’t much strategy to these levels, you just can swipe around in a relatively limited number of paths until you win.

Absolutely no logic needed

So this has mothing to do with logic. It’s just lazy programmed game where you push something to get to place, even my dog could do this. I almost made it to the end- just to see if there is anything logical in it. Simple, primitive and really stupid game. Just to make money I guess they programmed something like this. Totally disappointed . I was trying to find some puzzle , where yoh use logic or brain. This actually freezes your brain!

Its okay, but...

So i got this a couple years ago and its really fun! The challenges and puzzles are nice, but after a bit of time the puzzles were to challenging & to repetitive at the same time. They didnt add any features like maybe a blue square, or something, but just the repeating levels with just little change and no new features get repetitive, and VERY boring after a bit of time.

Actually Fun

An actually fun/challenging puzzle game. It's unique and creative and really challenges ones special skills. While still being a very fun puzzle game we haven't had new maps in forever and it doesn't look like that will change. You're paying for 100 maps folks.

They started an indie mobile game studio called GameBra.in and came to town because their game Hocus had been nominated by Casual Connect as one of the best...

Gamebra.in just released Pocus recently, but the studio is back with another neat puzzler coming in April called Cut.
