Have you ever thought "...but anyone could have painted this!" while looking at famous abstract art?


Play around with colors and lines, try to recreate paintings, solve riddles, unravel secret stories behind modern masterpieces, and hopefully get inspired and find meaning!

Please, Touch The Artwork is a cozy puzzle game blending logical thinking and poetic storytelling.

• "For me it was a revelation" - Featured by Eurogamer & The Guardian in the Best Games of 2022 so far
• "A Jazzy Puzzler With Style" - TheGamer
• "Go ahead, touch the artwork" - Polygon

Touch over 160 paintings (2 to 3 hours playtime) spread over three galleries, with their own narrative and gameplay:

1/ Explore the origin story of pure abstract art. Add colors and lines to a canvas to recreate paintings. The riddles get more and more challenging.

2/ Help Boogie & Woogie, 2 squares who just want to be together, by figuring out how obstacles influence their path in a complex growing society.

3/ Move to a big city and be overwhelmed with mixed emotions. Discover the maze of New York City while collecting words from a poem.

Also features:
• Fun facts and quotes about modern art
• Hints to help if you're stuck
• Color Blind mode

DEVELOPED by Thomas Waterzooi
"I made this game because I wanted to explore my complex relationship with modern art. What should I feel? Can my little sister do this? I'm still not 100% sure, but I do know that modern art has had an impact on everything and everyone in the world today. And so I hope my game can have an impact on your life as well" - Thomas Waterzooi, designer & developer.

PUBLISHED by Nakana.io
"When you're inspired by art, beautiful and new things can happen. Please, Touch The Artwork was inspired by Mondrian, and we hope it will inspire players to develop their own thoughts about colors, shapes... and creation in general." - Mikaël Bourget, founder of the publishing label

Featured Comments

These two reviews sold me on this one:

Nintendo Life:
Please, Touch The Artwork is an excellent little experience that cleverly combines intuitive, pensive puzzle mechanics with art history and humour to create an interactive exhibit you really shouldn't miss. If you've got any interest in modern art whatsoever, you're sure to enjoy this gem, but even puzzle fans who don't know their Picassos from their Pollocks would do well to browse these galleries. There's really nothing else to say. Do what the title says.

Gaming Age:
Forget debating whether video games are art – here's a game that asks whether art are video games, and then shows that the answer is a pretty clear yes.
I haven't played this game yet, but my 8 year old and I love playing single player games together. You could always work together if the puzzles are too advanced for your child. At worst, it's only $2. So you're not out much anyway.

When I followed the deal link I saw a price of $0.99, not $1.99. Picked it up because why not?

I mean you really can't argue with $2 can you? This looks like a fun game and I like adding things to my library just so my kids have some choices I figure for this price can't really go wrong.

Showing 99 cents for me but I believe I have bought a game from this publisher before. They sometimes give an extra discount.

This the one that teaches you how to go off the deep end and start throwing paint on rare artworks?

Even better, it showed as $0.99 for me, not including any Nintendo points.

comes up at $.99 for me for some reason - which I then paid with gold coins. I'm sure I can get an hour or two of entertainment out of it.
