Editors’ Notes

Named for an artistic photographic technique and inspired by the book The Little Prince, this physics-based puzzler is anything but gaming as usual. Tap and drag on the dreamlike terrain of a twilight fantasyland to roll, swing, and teleport an expressive one-eyed creature to safety. Fight gravity, overcome barriers, and evade traps on a journey full of gentle exploration and brain-teasing challenges. Accompanied by an elegant soundtrack and full of otherworldly charm, it’s an offbeat, deeply immersive experience that anyone can pick up and get lost in.

A GAME, not a money sucking vacuum!

The art is beautiful, the music pleasing. I play at the end of my evening after tiring of my "in app purchase" games and my tolerance for greedy developers is shot. It's relaxing and challenging. Sometimes I go back to lower levels just to clear my head for sleep. It never tells you "you FAILED, youSUCK, YOU'RE DEAD!" Instead you get pleasant feedback, and you can determine if you need or want to do better, or simply find nirvana in the art & completion of the puzzle. Love it☘😎☘

Contre Jour

This is that great game that everyone should play. Only people who truly understand it, and can find their own interpretation of it are the ones who will find this game appealing . For me, it is one of the reasons why I get up in the morning. I even bought the soundtrack and listen to it almost every day. This game is more than just game which is why it deserves more than a 5/5.
