Tengami is also remarkably brief, even by £3 tablet game standards. I'm not a betting man, but I predict that our strategy guide for this game will prove quite popular. With no hint system, and absolutely no alternative paths to take, Tengami just screeches to an unsatisfying halt whenever you get stuck. I had to ask the developer for a hint or two, and I've had reviewer friends call me up for solutions. Because while many of the puzzles are well-designed (with subtle hints littered about the environment), others can be more inscrutable or just plain tedious. Paper viewĪnd you'll find yourself wandering aimlessly a lot, if your experience is like mine. Your character saunters around at such a snail's pace that experimenting with different ideas, and exploring the landscape for clues, becomes quite painful.
Tengami is an understated, slow-moving game. They rarely tie-in to the game's clever pop-up concept, and when they do the solutions are disappointingly straightforward. The puzzles are perhaps not as inventive as you might expect, though. In play, you potter about in these papercraft worlds, solving the sort of harebrained logic puzzles we've seen in games like Year Walk and The Room. You can slowly tease the pop-up creations with a lingering slide across the screen, and see how each piece of paper neatly bends and folds into its perfect home.Īnd that's not to mention the fact that everything is backed up by a beautiful, haunting score from famed Donkey Kong Country composer David Wise, which blends oriental tones into some gorgeous ambient soundscapes. Intricate buildings fold in on themselves, paper flaps can be unfurled to reveal bridges, and turning a page transports you to new lands.Īnd it doesn't look like some cheap visual trick, either. Touch the screen and these paper scenes spring to life. Sure, the soft colours and simple shapes look pretty, but this world of corrugated cardboard is at its most beautiful when in motion. Static screenshots do not do Tengami justice.
