I once tried my hand at a bit of Origami. I had a double free period during school, and there just happened to be a big ol' book of Origami patterns lying on the library desk. Several sheets in, and I knew that it probably wasn't my forte. KAMI, a new iOS game about folding paper to change its color, definitely backs up my theory that paper folding and me aren't meant to be.

KAMI is all about filling the screen with the same color in as few moves as possible. It's gorgeously styled and surprisingly complex, with plenty of rules and tactics available to get you through its 36 puzzles. It's not massively exciting as such, and you won't exactly spend days or hours afterwards thinking about it, but as a distraction for a bus ride or two, KAMI will keep you tapping.

On each level you're provided with different colored paper that is overlapping all over the place. By tapping on the paper you can change its color, potentially causing it to merge with similar-colored paper around it. Using this method, you can tap-by-tap fill the entire screen with the same color. But there's a catch - you only have a specific number of taps you're allowed to make before you lose.

KAMI's paper-folding animations and general look and feel are great. It's very easy to pick up and play, and resetting puzzles is as simple as a single tap. The way that the paper looks when folding out from your tap is really gorgeous, especially that final tap that expands all around the book. KAMI has managed to capture that feeling of paper-on-paper remarkably.
