    Let me start with this - it's a mobile game. That aside, it's still a great puzzler where you control Huey an Satura characters in different dream-like situations they're stuck in. There are quite many possible ways to solve the puzzles, but the main goal is still the same, to get them safely to finish or check-point whilst avoiding all the obstacles on their path. It requires quite well timed route planning and synchronisation between characters. So gameplay is simple, but puzzles do get…

    This is supposed to be a puzzle game. But the most puzzling aspect of it is the fact that the deathballs move during the planning phase. This forms the puzzles into a game of trial and error. Even if you know the solutions you have to try over and over again unrtil you hit the exactz second because the black spheres move even before you move. Sadly frustrating.

    A challenging and engaging puzzler with charming aesthetics. This title offers 40 levels plus a few special levels. Every act which is ten levels each ends up adding a new mechanic to play around with. The gameplay itself for me rings back memories to transistor and frozen synapse. You have to plan all your movement carefully and get to the crystals. There are optional bonus crystals to collect for an extra challenge. Pros +Pleasing visuals +Relaxing and fitting soundtrack +Fun trial and…

    So Umiro is a nice looking game and has a unique idea, but unfortunately I dont consider it to be the one thing it is supposed to be... a puzzle game. TLDR: it's boring, save your money. Essentially you draw paths for your two characters to follow, while collecting crystals and avoiding moving black balls (contact = failure). The problem is that the black balls move before the start and timing sometimes feels like it has to be precise to the nanosecond. This leads to a lot of trial and error,…

    Wow this is bad. What looks like a nice little puzzle game in screenshots, actually has one of the worst gameplays I've seen in a while. The most puzzling aspect of this trial and error torture with worthless story of many ellipses is how is this "very positive"?

    Frustrating trial and error game play. You draw the path your characters take from the starting point to the end point while making sure they avoid the obstacles that result in a restart. The problem is that the obstacles move all the time even when you're planning your characters' movement so it ends up being a matter of timing when your characters start moving so they don't run into the obstacles. This is fine initially until the game throws at you levels with multiple obstacles and narrow…

    Mediocre Mobile Mazes In Umiro, you need to draw paths for your characters - who walk at a fixed speed - to avoid moving black orbs. This will frequently involve having them run around in circles to stall as an orb passes by. Although you can see the corresponding position of the other character as you draw, the death orbs continue moving throughout the entire planning phase - the only way to reset their position, in order to get a known "time equals zero" for consistent results, is to die.…

    Umiro is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. This mobile app is a pathing puzzle game with a couple of gimmicks, one of which really breaks any fun you might get out of the game play. Gameplay here consists of putting your finger on your iPhone screen to draw two paths for two different characters. All you have to do is pick up a crystal and get your guys to the exit. Seems simple, right? The problem…

    Well worth a playthrough for puzzle fans. There are some very interesting mechanics here that I haven't seen before. On each level you draw paths to help 2 characters (blue = "Huey", red = "Satura") get to crystals on the game board. If there's just one pair of blue/red crystals on the board, they're the exits. If there are 2 pairs, then the first crystals act as mini save-points, and the 2nd are the exit. Along the way timing is critical as you need to dodge obstacles (fire and black orbs…

    I'm about halfway through and so far I enjoy the puzzles. The difficulty gradually increases as you progress to the next level by additions of new obstacles and additional characters. The graphics are smooth and the music is fitting and very relaxing. I just think the story line is a bit unclear and, frankly, not very necessary to the game. I suppose the plot is added as an incentive to keep progressing but since it's very vague it doesn't seem to serve any other purpose. Will write a final…

    It's lovely, relaxing, cute, fun and very simple; could work as a mobile game. Super lovely and cute puzzle game. It's a very short game and tho some of the puzzles will make you think a bit, it's more of a trial an error sort of game where timing is the most important thing and this, can get a bit frustrating at times. A very adorable and relaxing casual game, to me it's worth its price.

    Umiro has a very immersive atmosphere that you probably won't get from the trailer. As a planning puzzle game it works very well, assuming that you like this kind of game in a first place. I am not a huge fan of this genre, but the appetite comes with eating if you know what I mean. It took me a little bit of time to get use to the gimmick, it becomes more enjoyable when you get better at it. You basically draw a path for 2 characters while avoiding objects, once you activate to movement the…

    A really nice, relaxed pace puzzle game, in which you must create paths for 1 or 2 characters (depending on the chapter). The story line is simple, but a bit mysterious as it focuses more on the trip to return to reality than in solving the msytery, which to me was rather nice as it gave it a very oniric feel: there is no real reason why things are as they are, they just are. The puzzles can be solved in different ways, depending on how you time yourself with the animated obstacles, how you…

    I really loved the game and it's beautifully drawn. Only ''problem'' I have is that when ur path is too long it just completly gets erased, which made me loose my mind a couple of times. I think a better solution would have been to not let the player continue to draw and that they would have to erase like a part, but they choose were or maybe a display where you can see how much u have left for your path! But like I said, really great otherwise, had alot of fun with it, thanks for making it<3

    There's a point where the heavy choreographing makes you feel like you're executing a bank robbery of sorts. It's extremely satisfying when it plays out smoothly. The levels are carefully structured but not too much so it allows the player to come up with creative solutions and that's something I love to see in puzzle games. It's also really intuitive and the controls are extremely simple. In fact, I try to find games for my younger brother with Down's syndrome to play and he figured this one…

    This is a dumb puzzle game where you draw the path of two people and watch them helplessly run into the things that kill them. Its bad in the sense where its not a puzzle but instead a training on the fortitude of your mind to see if you can slam as many attempts you can in their face, or try to time the path within the cycle of an orb with two separate characters at their own uncontrolled walking speed. Of course you can estimate where they'll be because of it, but it make it into a guessing…

    It's really hard to recommend this one unless you really like timing based puzzles. There was maybe two or three puzzles that I thought were fun to trial and error through, just because it wasn't just trying to draw the right amount of circles/lines to wait for orbs to pass (or for the other character to push a button). Since after the mid-point on that's what many of the puzzles are. Controls are also a bit fussy at times, at least on controller. Maybe it is a bit better on keyboard.

Just ignore the unnecessary keyboard controls. It's a bit "trail-and-error" at times, especially towards the end, but a lot of puzzle games tend to be.

    This is a decent puzzler, if a bit too focused on timing for my taste. What ruins it for me is that the erase feature, to be frank, doesn't work. Trying to erase only what you want is a pain, and if you misclick or screw it up you might erase your entire line -- a line you spent a lot of time getting right in a game where your timing needs to be pretty exact. Maybe it's better on mobile -- it's clearly designed for it. On PC, though, skip it.
