Maestria is a beautiful and calm puzzle game that has us bring back musical harmony to eight mysterious worlds split into 160 levels.

The objective is to ring bells of different colors and music tones in the correct order by carefully pushing around our character and bells to properly position them on the playing field. Next, we tap our character, and a ring starts expanding around us that activates any bell it touches. While things start out easy enough, later levels introduce bells that automatically move, bells that are blocked so we can’t move them, and various other obstacles that make the game surprisingly challenging.

The art-style clearly resembles Monument Valley, with gorgeous visuals, dynamic lighting, and great attention to detail. Combined with the cheery music and sound effects, this gives the game a calm and almost Zen-like adventurous feeling.

The puzzles are well-crafted and entertaining, but the mysterious world and cute storytelling drew me in so well that the game almost became more about exploring and uncovering the story than the puzzles themselves. The biggest downside is the controls that occasionally make it tricky to move our characters and bells the way we intend. While not game-breaking, it is slightly frustrating.

Mastria is completely free without ads or iAPs. The gameplay is unlikely anything I’ve ever played before, and it’s astonishing that a game this polished has been developed by a solo indie developer. Honestly, it’s just a must-try for anyone who enjoys puzzle games.
