Contre Jour for Android
The music and graphics are lovely, and the way the game is set up is cute. However, the whole idea of the game and its basis is already seen in Cut the Rope and Angry Birds. This is only slightly different. For those looking for a fun, time-passing game, this is not the one.
I'm in awe. It's so beautiful, the graphics and music. And the gameplay is unique, as far as I can tell. Haven't played another game like it. Great sound effects too. Unfortunately, it gets pretty difficult and not as fun at the end, so 1 star off. When the spikes show up, it becomes more about not dying than about trying to get all the lights. Not as enjoyable.
I don't know why so many people compare this to world of goo. Despite its appearance, the gameplay is actually the same as cut the rope. It's pretty, but the concept is unoriginal, and the supposed "poignant" music is little more than a tinkling piano. I much prefer feeding candy to omnom.
I'm not much of a game player, but the intriguing screenshots, positivity in the reviews about the music, and mostly the 10-cent price induced me to make this low-risk purchase. I knew ahead of time that it hadn't been updated since 2013, so I don't expect developer support. I'm really enjoying this game! It's grounded in math & physics, and thus can be used as an educational tool as well as a source of entertainment. If it works on your device, enjoy! If not, click the "refund" button.
Had just bought the game anxious to play it. The headphones splash came up so I went to go grab some headphones thinking the screen would continue to the games menu but nothing. Haven't played game yet but the fact that it won't even load to even the menu disappoints me. Maybe its just my phone but I hope to play it soon. _______________________ Game still won't play I try to pick first level won't start up payed for a game that I can't play.
At first it froze on the headphones splash, then it froze on level screen. Then it acted like it was loading the first level but went back to level screen and won't do anything more. Hope this is fixed soon seeing as there are a lot of people experiencing this problem. Looks like a nice game, just wish I could play it. -_-
The music, the subtle palette, a surprisingly cute (but not overly so) one-eyed main character and deceptively simple gameplay make this a fresh, grownup gaming experience. But I'm stuck at level 2-15!!
Doesn't work. I un installed the game to see if that would fix it. No luck so I will give you 5 stars if I can play the game again. I love the game! It works fine on my galaxy tab 2 10.1
Game let me play the first three levels then locked up. Tried reinstalling but now it won't even go to the loading screen. It just locks up my phone. I paid money for this, fix it or I would like a refund. Brand new galaxy s4.
I was drawn to buy it becauase I fell in love with the soundtrack and visuals. Sadly, when I bought it over a month ago the game wouldn't start. I deleted and redownloaded it multiple times since. I also emailed the creators and they said they were sorry and would fix it- but would give me my money back. They haven't.
Very fun, original game. Reminds me of 'World of Goo', only better. Levels get progressively more difficult and each has a new theme. Graphics are nicely done, with entertaining background objects during gameplay. You won't get bored playing this one.
I was expecting something more like world of goo, but instead thus game is more like a cross between angry birds and cut the rope with even less story. This games only redeeming feature is its atmosphere.
There's a MAJOR game breaking bug that doesn't even let you finish the first level. It should be an easy fix, but the developers haven't fixed it in over a month. Tried reinstalling multiple times and its still broken
I was so excited to try this game. But it won't even open/crashes immediately. No other apps have been a problem. Too bad its too late for a refund. Lame.
I bought this game and then when I open it nothing happens it just stays on the same screen! I have the galaxy s4. When I go to the home screen to open the app my screen freezes and then it unfreezes without open the app and I'm still stuck on the home screen. I've tried to uninstall and then install it again but same problem! It looks like a fun game so fix and I'll put it back to 5 stars!
The game crashes on my phone its a galaxy s4. it goes to a black screen and just crashes from there. I can't get it to start no matter what I do. Please update soon. I would love to play this game it looks awesome!
The only issue I have with it is it says I am not connected to the internet when trying to check my awards and leaderboard. Gameplay is fantastic, and it feels like you really accomplished something when you get a perfect on a hard puzzle.
Really fun, makes you plan your route if you want all those points! My only complaint would be periodic crashing but that could be for a number of reasons beyond the developer's control.

I have the same problem as every one else with the Galaxy s4, the screen hangs and then does nothing. It shows up in the running apps but doesn't do anything when clicked. Please fix this or give me my money back.
What a fun and beautiful game with such relaxing music and challenging levels. I just got done beating it and so ready for Contre Jour 2 to be made. Hope there's either new levels added in a upgrade or a part 2 of the journey. 5 stars!!
Soothing music. Smooth play. Multi touch. Best game on Android so far. I just finished level 1(there are 5 in total) and already cant wait for more to come.
I played the game before with the chrome extension and loved it but the app is unplayable on my s4. Fix it or give my money back.
Crashes after headphone suggestion screen. Have tried to reinstall still no game. Very poor product.
Looks like it would be fun if it would actually start. Every time I try it either doesn't do anything or the screen goes black for a second and then goes back to my home screen.
Too bad they charge money for a game that doesn't work... quite irritating really, won't be buying another one from them.
The game is fun, but whenever I tried to play a level the screen turns black I'm gonna uninstall this game until this problem is fixed
Downloaded the game on a whim cause I enjoy puzzles amd this seemed promising. Can't get past the intro screen for chapter one level one. Please fix!!!
Difficult but not so difficult that you just have to give up. All the levels are logical and achievable.

This game is outstanding for only 2 dollars. T he music is outstanding and really out does its self. This game is very polished worth you money. I would buy it now if you haven't
I've tried playing the game several times now, if by some miracle it doesn't get stuck on a black screen after the logos before the "use headphones" screen. It froze right after the first level. I can see why EA and Chillingo put these at 10 cents. Typical developers, selling not even half assed, just plain un functioning games out there, just like NFS and Monopoly.
This game is just plainly amazing. From an interesting game play to amazing visuals and good puzzles to such a beautiful soundtrack that makes you feel both peaceful and sad. This game is great
I really really love this...in fact I'm playing for 2nd time (didn't complete 1st time) but keeps "just stopping" & jumps outta game completely & I have to restart. No warning....no certain spot! Just when it wants to stop.... Fix
The game is polished and really hits the nail on the head for people that want a good graphic game that won't kill the battery.
This game is beautiful. It has an artistic feel I haven't seen in any other mobile game. The music is reminiscent of Child of Light for those familiar, piano heavy. The mechanics are creative and thoughtful. Great job to all involved in making this game.
This game is amazing. Super cool physics, polished design and animation, well thought out levels that challenge you to evolve how you play, and some background music that isn't obnoxious. This game deserves every bit of five stars because the Developer's passion and effort really shine through. Fantastic job, thank you.
Great graphics and fun puzzles. I find it a lot deeper and more engaging than angry birds and other mobile puzzle games.

I haven't had any issues with this game so far. It's beautifully designed, innovative, and non taxing. The music is tranquil, and the sound effects, unentrusive. The graphics are positively gorgeous. I like it much better than World of Goo, which I un-enstalled. The overall experience has been well worth to money.
