Charming.

nistalgic and charming i remember it back in 2013 from mistaken

Short, fun game that was originally on Xbox Live Arcade. Some of the physics don't quite work well, so it gets frustrating sometimes. I fell out of the 2D plane a few times and was confused as to how and why.

7/10

This game was so cute and wholesome. The visuals were exactly what i was looking for in a game and the jazzy environment was great. Easy to 100% and absolutely worth the money.

Contrast is a charming and atmospheric puzzle-platformer that blends noir aesthetics with a unique shadow-shifting mechanic. Set in a dreamlike 1920s-inspired world, the game tells a touching story through the eyes of a young girl and her mysterious, acrobatic companion. The art direction is stunning, and the soundtrack complements the mood perfectly, pulling you into this surreal, theatrical setting. While the core gameplay is creative and engaging - especially the ability to shift between 3D space and 2D shadows - it's worth noting that the controls can feel a bit clunky at times. They're not quite up to today's polished standards, but considering the game's original 2013 release, they're understandable and don't detract too much from the overall experience. If you're into narrative-driven games with a unique style and clever mechanics, Contrast is definitely worth checking out.
