Gameplay

A relaxing stroll through puzzle heaven.
Created by indie developer Mårten Jonsson and inspired by the works of anime director Makoto Shinkai, But To Paint a Universe is a unique puzzle game that takes the Match-3 formula and evolves it.
Unlike more rapidly paced puzzle games of its type, But To Paint relies on your ability to plan and think several steps ahead rather than your abiity to beat the clock.
Clicking a color will make it disappear, along with any like colors adjacent to it.


Instead of trying your best to eliminate every color as fast as possible, gold rings in the background need to be occupied by specific colors, forcing you to think ahead and make sure colors don't fall out of place >when chain reactions occur.
Enjoy competition as well? Don't forget that you can post your best scores online for the world to see!
But to Paint a Universe is an indie puzzle game for PC, with an interesting narrative and an intoxicating atmosphere, with beautiful levels, and a custom, piano-based soundtrack. This creates a charming and unique atmosphere, which combined with the varied and fun gameplay forms a casual, yet challenging indie game.
