KURU

NOTE: Played mostly on v1.1 and v1.2. Future updates may resolve some issues I mentioned below. TLDR, a fun and relaxing puzzler that shows some great potential from a new indie studio. I enjoyed solving many of the puzzles in this game. The game's objective is simple: Try to fit all the pieces you're given in a predetermined grid. While this sounds like it will get repetitive quickly, it manages to keep things fresh by introducing new conditions for the puzzles which encourages different ways to approach each level. Not only that, I noticed that many levels have more than one solution, which shows these levels were crafted with the intention of being approached from many different angles. That being said, some levels are challenging as some of them took me more than 15 minutes to complete. Presentation-wise, this game is cute, charming, and relaxing. It's simplistic gameplay is backed up with a pleasant and cute art direction, as well as a relaxing soundtrack to listen to while trying to solve each puzzle. Also, some of the sound effects used when you place the pieces of the puzzle were fun to listen to as you place them down on the grid. All these help give off a soothing vibe…

Calming, cute artwork, peaceful music. A simple fill in the shape puzzle game that is perfect when you just need something to distract you.

Very nice graphic and audio. it challenging but fun. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

Such a fun and relaxing game. I love completing each level and it's especially satisfying to see the green check mark. Pretty self explanatory and the different levels in each region make the game intriguing. I'm currently on the 2nd level, and I found the cute Kuru story before entering the 2nd level. I found the artistry in this game refreshing. Gives off an old school watercolor vibe. The music transports you into zen like atmosphere. I recommend this game for anyone who needs to take a break from the stressors of life. Great for all ages. Challenges your mind and stimulates your senses. Overall, visually pleasing...

my problems with the game, unfortunately, was the lack of hint system. Being stuck on a level for more than 10 minutes becomes much more frustrating than fun, and having to look up the solution just ruins the experience. it's not that i wouldn't recommend it, if youre ok with this fact than its a cute puzzle game, but it just isnt for me

If I were TGC, I would give game of the year to Kuru. 100/10 hands down best game of the year.
