The Last Tinker: City of Colors is an artistic platformer with a handmade feel (preview)

In the constant drive to make games look more realistic, few of them have the look and feel of a handcrafted work of art. The upcoming PC game The Last Tinker: City of Colors from independent developer Mimimi Productions is like a painted papier mâché sculpture you find at a local art show. It feels solid, unique, and full of bright charm.

In The Last Tinker, you play as Koru, an ape-like youth who develops the power to restore lost properties to color. In his home of Tinkertown, the colors of red, green, and blue each represent both a positive and negative attribute. For example, red symbolizes strength, but it can also represent aggression. Blue embodies fortitude and sadness, while green stands for both curiosity and fear.
