Please, Touch the Artwork

iOS, (Meynen Studio)

Set in an art gallery and accompanied by mellow freeform jazz that echoes your moves, your goal is to recreate a series of Mondrian-style paintings with as few moves as possible. At first, this is done by tapping to add splashes of primary color to rectangles that are next to each other. However, this soon changes into more complex tests of your spatial awareness.

Sets of puzzles are mixed in with times when you learn a little more about Mondrian and how he worked. This brings you closer to an artist whose work most people know, but whose deeper complexity makes it even more interesting.

In a game clearly made by an artist, the thick black lines and primary colors look great on a phone or iPad, and the speed of interaction is just right for a touchscreen. In its introduction, it says that it "challenges without frustration or shame." This is true.

FEATURES

+ The second game is about Boogie & Woogie, two squares who just want to be together, but a rapidly growing world is making this harder and harder. You’ll have to help Woogie reach Boogie by figuring out how obstacles influence Woogie’s path.
+ In the third game you’ll move to the big city, only to be overwhelmed with mixed emotions. From joy and excitement to being homesick and missing your friends and family. You'll be maneuvering through the craziness of the Big Apple while collecting letters to create a poem.
