KAMI is a unique puzzle game that captures the look and feel of handcrafted paper. Your objective is to turn the entire screen a single color within a set number of moves to achieve a 'Perfect' rating. With over 100 handcrafted puzzles, KAMI offers a serene yet challenging experience. The game features a beautiful Japanese-inspired aesthetic, soothing music, and a satisfying paper-folding animation that makes every move feel tactile and real.

Our Expert Score

92/100

KAMI is a masterclass in minimalist puzzle design. It takes the ancient art of origami and transforms it into a digital experience that is both cognitively demanding and incredibly soothing. The premise is deceptively simple: you are presented with a folded paper pattern of various colors, and your goal is to flood the entire screen with a single color in as few moves as possible. Each 'move' consists of choosing a color and tapping an area to change its hue, which then cascades out to all touching areas of the same color.

What truly elevates KAMI above its peers is the tactile aesthetic. The sound of paper rustling and the animation of the screen literally 'folding' into the new color is immensely satisfying. The difficulty curve is perfectly pitched; early levels teach you the cascading logic, while later stages require you to visualize several moves ahead to hit the 'Perfect' score. It’s a rare game that manages to stimulate the brain while simultaneously lowering your heart rate. If you appreciate clean design and logical challenges, KAMI is an essential download.

Amazing Game👍
Tue Jul 12 2022 Madisinclair

I love this game and I have ever since it came out and I see other reviews saying that it’s too cramped up or the game is laggy or there’s not enough puzzles on it, but there are 45 puzzles, it’s great, you just have bad internet, you have fat fingers, there’s a literal KAMI number 2. So don’t give a bad review you’re just simply not smart enough to realize how all of those problems can be fixed on your own… Well the fat fingers, you probably can’t fix, but my point still stands. It’s a great game🙂

This game asks you to often think out of the box. One solution does not apply to all. Sometimes you have to think blank space where there’s color, sometimes color is the solution. And then there are some I still haven’t solved yet.

So frustrating

I had 4 hints to use. I just wanted to get past this puzzle and move on. I tried using the hints but each time it gave me the same exact hint over and over again and still charged me for each time even though it was only one exact same hint given each of the 4 times and not a different hint each time. Why is this? It doesn’t make sense. Who wants to pay for the exact same hint each time? How can you ever get the next hint or a new hint - at least a different hint! A waste of time.

My favorite.

This game has always worked perfectly for me on several different devices so please feel free to disregard others claiming major bugs, simply untrue. I love meditating on these puzzles that have a wide range of difficulty and always are challenging. TY 4 a great game!!

Fun unique and challenging

It doesn’t seem like it would be tough at first, but it makes you think for sure once you started into it

game rotates immediately to portrait mode then blacks out the bottom 1/4 of the screen, so you can’t see/reach whatever is on the bottom of the screen. if you enter the info screen you can’t get back to the home screen because of this — have to force-quit the game and restart. but without the bottom of the screen you can’t finish past puzzle 4 anyway…. KAMI 2 works beautifully, what is wrong with KAM !?!? Please fix!!

Addictive,,,

I bought this and a few other similar games as a means to relax and unwind. Surprisingly this is the least active of the others and it gets me all twisted and nervy. I like the sensation in infrequent doses but I’m glad I have it.

Wow
