Play procedurally-generated puzzles based on Mondrian paintings such as Compositions with Red Blue Yellow, Broadway Boogie Woogie, and New York City
Waltz through this collection of three different paintings — each with its own unique gameplay and puzzles
Solve more than 150 randomly generated puzzles with 2 - 3 hours of playtime and no time-pressure
Get to know the story behind abstract art pioneers
Accessible options including color-blind and larger text
Vibe to a jazzy soundtrack that provides ambience to your painting-prodding
Two art installations on the same theme from Studio Waterzooi are also on their way: Please, Touch the Artwork gives you carte blanche as the museum rope is cut and invites you to question cultural norms. Landscape Artist Without Landscape lets you create the landscape for a painter missing their vista.
