[REVIEWS]
“An interesting twist on your typical puzzle game which leads to a fun experience.”
3.5/5 – Geeky Hobbies
“They say video games can’t teach you anything. They say it’s not an art form and it can’t offer you a single drop of culture. Whoever said that really needs to give Mystic Pillars a shot. Not only did I feel smart tackling its math-based puzzles like a smug scholar, but also made me want to dive into Indian culture.”
7/10 – waytoomanygames
“Mystic Pillars is a great puzzle game that not only looks pretty but the art design and lore of the game is pretty unique. The gameplay is solid as well because the puzzles will keep you busy for a good time.”

Amazing!
Best puzzle game
Commendable effort for the Karnataka flavour alone. As it stands, there's a good puzzle game to go with it as well. All that's missing is Google Play Games integration.
Very nice game
Just supporting another indian indie developer. I will play it then update it about gameplay.
Very clever puzzle game, beautiful art and story. Support this awesome indie developer!
