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.

A game so enchanting you’ll curse the fact it has to end. I thought the best way to sum up Tengami is via a haiku poem: Journey through paper; Origami zen garden; A brief distraction. [Episode 3, April 2014]

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

Tengami 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. Tengami is very gorgeous, but very slow and lacking. 30/100

this game is totally amazing my three year old is blown away by the game, and my mom loves the music. I think its pretty interesting. it is what it is...a way above average popup book...like WAAAAAAAAAAY above. you can interact with it, there are a puzzles to solve. kind of weird when morons write a review and compare it to something like angry birds or GTA. its hard to believe some professional reviewers do that and then give it a bad review too.

Looking at it as a conventional game, in other words, it's not terribly impressive – short, simple and perfectly linear. But as an interactive story, or perhaps more accurately a poem, it is superb.

The journey is captivating but it's over all too soon, and for all its beauty the game's world feels empty without other characters to speak to.

A gorgeous iOS game to look at granted with an outstanding art direction. Its gameplay is not as good and sophisticated, though.

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.

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

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.

At its best, Tengami is something you want to freeze-frame and hang on the wall. For a video game, that shouldn't be taken as a compliment.
