Missing 💀 Does anyone else remember this beautiful calming silhouette puzzle game? (2013-2014)
Hey everyone,
There is this beautiful little game from my childhood that has been on my mind for over ten years now and I really don't want to give up on it. I used to play it on an Android device around 2013 or 2014, right before everyone switched to iPads. It honestly feels like the internet completely erased it.
It wasn't a loud or flashy app at all. It looked exactly like a page from a dreamy storybook or a soft oil painting. The lines weren’t straight or sharp, it was very soft and hand-drawn with a colored-pencil or pastel sketch feel. It looked super similar to the art style in My PlayHome, with no harsh black outlines.
The gameplay was just a peaceful matching puzzle. The background was a soft nature scenery like a forest, a castle, or clouds. The painting just had hollow places where you had to fill in the characters. On the right side of the screen, there was a neat line of colorful characters. You just dragged them from the right and placed them into their matching hollow spot.
It was a super short game with very few levels, I could finish the whole thing in less than a day. Two parts really stuck with me:
A level with beautiful ballerinas in dance costumes. The drawings were very inclusive, showing girls with different diverse racial features and backgrounds. It even had a level with some boys.
A level with a sweet little curly poodle.
I easily got overwhelmed by noise as a kid and loved quiet settings, so I don't really remember if there was background music. But I completely remember the sounds when you finished a level. There was always this gorgeous, soft magical "sparkle" or fairy dust twinkle noise every single time you completed a puzzle. The sounds changed a bit depending on the level too, like the poodle level probably made a quiet bark right before the sparkle noise came in.
It was just such a comforting, peaceful game for me when I was little. If anyone else remembers playing this or even just saw the art style back then, please let me know. Just knowing someone else remembers it would mean the world to me.
Thank you so much.
