Join adventurous ten-year-old Monroe as he pursues a swan that springs to life from one of his mother's unfinished paintings.
Throw globs of paint in order to uncover the new worlds you find yourself in as you attempt to discover why you're there and where you're going.
Use your Playstation Move motion controller to bring this unique journey of discovery to life.

Innovative and creative. Beautiful and colourful world with perils and dangers.
As the story progresses it requires some logic and the slow, playful mood becomes quick-paced and tense. A good story that everyone of all ages would enjoy. I have even come across an easter egg from a very popular game which recently won game of the year. Searching for balloons in the levels allows you to unlock Toys to make it a little bit easier, such as the balloon radar - tells you when you are close to a balloon, but does not give and indication where.
One bad thing about it was in the intro of the game you have an empty canvas, spamming paint balls will only just make you lose all sense and depth and direction, so be careful.

I must admit that later on in the game I was on the verge of having a heart attack. There are scary moments in darkness and rising waters that can scare the pants off of anyone blaugh

Sadly this was a game that I could not enjoy to it's fullest.
I've never had any issues with games before, but something about the bright white and motion blur made me quite nauseous.

:c

When I played the demo I felt...frustrated trying to navigate around the white rooms. I thought it would help to plaster the place with black paint, but found myself making it just as worse. It does get easier as your progress in the story as more shades get added.

Ah yeah, I can see how that would end up just as bad. I still got through the game, but only about 5 minutes at a time. :S

Dat Ending! was kind of a shocker to me.

You know, I knew the game was going to be short when I started it but. . . I didn't think it would have been THAT short!

The ending credits scene kinda made me believe there was going to be much more. . .

I thought, judging from the chapter select, that there would be quite a bit to do,
but soon realised I was flying through the levels even while I was searching for those story pages.
I liked the part where it was showing the credits, but I too thought it was very damn short.
Giant Sparrow put too much hype on it tbh

This right here!
That chapter select was pretty misleading in the longevity of the game.

It's a good game, but I have to give my vote to Journey for now.

This game, I started to play but I got really bad motion sickness - not knowing that it was the game that caused it - I went back to playing it the day after I got better & bam, started getting sick again so sadly, I never got to really enjoy it

Ah! Journey, I love that game
I always wear the red coat though because any time I run into someone else with a white coat, they leave me :c

That's kind of what I noted in a post above! But never with any other game. . . hmm.

Also, I'm sorry all the white coats leave if you wear one yourself.
I haven't had that experience myself.
