    This pop-up book isn’t just for children; if you’re looking for a peaceful interlude to while an afternoon away, check Tengami out.

    Tengami is a serene, wondrous experience that can enchant anyone of all ages. As an interactive experience it works perfectly, but gameplay wise it doesn't deliver the same quality.

    If you can stand the slow pace and suffer through a few unfair puzzles, you’ll find Tengami’s breathtaking visual beauty and slick interface more than make up for any shortcomings.

    A gorgeous, engrossing experience, but it's too straightforward, too brief, and too slow to be an essential adventure.

    Shallow but with an incredible exterior. Get it for the views.

    I wanted more: more depth, more interaction, more complexity; a hero's journey with more at stake than flowers.

    There are moments of brilliance in Tengami, both in its wonderful origami visuals and some clever paper folding puzzles. But the plodding and confusion between those moments of brilliance undermine its splendour and the meditative tone the game tries to achieve.

    Rigid in spots and light on impact, Tengami still feels like the ideal kind of App Store curio: it’s short, sweet, intimate, and handcrafted, with dreamy environs and meditative, low-key puzzles.

    Tengami’s world is as rich and stimulating as any you’re likely to find on iOS, but there’s something missing. Like an origami crane, it’s an admirable piece of craftsmanship, but the result remains rather flimsy and lightweight.

    Tengami is ridiculously beautiful, but its gorgeous looks only go so far.

    A game for players who value gorgeous visuals above all else. [May 2014, p.83]

    Tengami's pop-up book mechanic is visually stunning, but seldom used to create unique gameplay

    Tengami is a very beautiful app with interesting visuals in a point and click adventure, but it lacks a story and character development. ItTengami is a very beautiful app with interesting visuals in a point and click adventure, but it lacks a story and character development. It needs a bigger and better purpose.
