Aurora takes you into a world begging for color you create with a touch, all done for your little cat friend.
In Aurora, you can move around the screen, selecting colors and tapping on different objects on islands. You can color these islands as much or as little as you want before moving onto the next bit of land to bring color to. Coloring in islands doesn’t require you to move your finger back and forth, like traditionally coloring in a spot, but instead has you painting full areas with one tap.
Moving around the screen and viewing your island from afar will show you what you have created, while exploring around and clicking on island in the distance will bring you to new places.
As you color items, you start to gain objects that you can use on a very special island. This island has your cat, also called Aurora, moving around and relaxing. You can decorate this world for Aurora and see what she interacts with. She might even leave little plants that you can then use to add effects to your color. These effects, like metallic or shiny, will change the look of the colors you can place on the island, but you don’t directly unlock new colors. You are given every color of the rainbow to start with, though, so that you can color whatever you’d like.
Aurora is a really relaxing little game to play around with, and the addition of your own cat to look after is super cute. I got to play an early demo at EGX 2018 where the controls were a bit buggy. Whenever you went to rotate the world, when lifting up your finger, it would color in that area. This was due to be fixed soon, and more islands and features were looking to be added.
Aurora doesn’t have a release date currently, but you can follow its development on Twitter.
