App Description

"But to Paint a Universe is a game I can see resonating with a lot of puzzle fans – it’s just important they know what they’re getting into. It’s more of a slow burn than other match-3 games, requiring cold, calculated actions on behalf of the player. That threw me off at first, but – flawed though it is – I found myself having a lot of fun with it. It also helps that it has backgrounds and music that, in many ways, go above and beyond what I’ve seen in other puzzle games." - Gamezebo

"There seems to be a movement in the indie scene towards these very peaceful, gentle, Zen-like puzzle games. It’s like developers are deconstructing what a game is, reinventing what has traditionally been a very challenge-driven, competitive, high-pressure medium. Within that context, But to Paint a Universe succeeds admirably, and casual gamers could certainly do worse than pick it up." - Indiegamereviewer
