Reviews

Pretty but not fun
Pianoless

Controls are not very intuitive or creative. You just tap and hold to paint things but it doesn’t really clue you in properly what to do so you just tap everywhere until something happens. Not relaxing at all. It’s a shame because it’s pretty and has nice music. Quit after level 2.

Very unintuitive controls
Vancehuang

Sure the graphics are nice, but the controls are terrible... So the game mechanic is, you tap & hold to take the color of an object, then tap and hold something else to paint. Simple right? But if you put blue on already blue flowers they bloom? And you can take blue from water but not flowers? How arbitrary can you get? And that’s just in the first level! This experience is making me wonder how much of the reviews are real.... netease has made good games but this is definitely not one of them.

Wow.

This is hands down the most beautiful game I have played all year. The motion of the character in particular is so fluid and gorgeous. The use of color as a gameplay mechanic is fantastic. I love the background music, although the plucks when I tapped incorrectly were a bit unnecessary and took away from the beauty of the background music. Other than that, I am in awe that this is a free game. I am definitely following this developer and seeing what they do next.

Short Logic Game full of Beautiful art
m.a.t.h.

This free game consists of seven short chapters yet it’s totally worth it due to its beautiful art and short animations. Solve the puzzles using the few hints the game gives you as you embark on a magical ride and enjoy the beautiful dream.

How I describe this game..,
LadyLilyLyre

This game is beautiful, the music is great and the art style is wonderful. The puzzles are unique and interesting, challenging but not frustrating. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone. I haven’t yet read the poem but I have a great idea of the story of this game actually going to go read the poem now. Thank you developers!!

Such a beautiful game!
Saehaeu

This game’s art style is so fantastic, the movements are so smooth. It’s easy to figure out where to tap, so I personally can’t relate to the comments that find a problem with this. The only negative to this game is that it’s really short. Please update this game and give it many levels please!

A Beautiful idea, mechanically flawed
Suski33

I was thoroughly enjoying this game, and really getting the hang of exchanging colours to restore a beautiful world, until I got to the second minigame. Others may have had no problem with this, but I could not control the lines of the butterfly colours to unravel long enough (without constant backtracking) to re-create the intended picture. Even using a walk-through, and understanding what I needed to do, the mechanics would not let the lines flow long enough to form what they needed to. Without being able to pass this minigame, I couldn’t progress. Sadly, deleted.
