## What is KonMari Spark Joy!?

Inspired by renown tidying expert and bestselling author Marie Kondo, who has sold over 13 million copies of her books worldwide, Spark Joy! is a storybook puzzle game that takes players through the joyful journey of tidying using the KonMari Method™ in the form of solving different puzzles. 

- A heartwarming story for everyone 
The story follows a young girl troubled by a personal struggle and after meeting Marie Kondo, she is able to face her problems, listen to her inner voice and eventually find what is truly important to her. The story is told through visually-stunning graphics, like reading a picture book, appropriate for all ages. 

- The enchanting world
Sparked by joy, the girl embarks on a journey around the world and meets people facing unique worries of their own. With the help of Marie Kondo and cute Mononoke (spirited beings), the girl helps others overcome their own challenges by sharing her happiness with them and helping them find joy within through tidying.

- Alternating puzzles
The game features two alternating types of puzzle games, Yin and Yang. “Yin” puzzles help clear the mind through Zen-like garden puzzles. In “Yang” puzzles, players move colorful cubes to a specified shape while clearing away unnecessary blocks.

- Beautiful soundtrack
The game’s soundtrack is composed of beautiful tracks with upbeat, uplifting music for “Yang” and soothing notes for “Yin”. We recommend playing with headphones.

- Additional story
A side story is told through a young boy’s perspective. Sold separately.

### 5/5 — Elegant and soothing

*2023-02-22*

Lovely story that integrates well with the puzzle concepts. Calming and refreshing. Well done.

### 5/5 — Just finished all of it!

*2022-01-23, version 1.1.0*

Unfortunately I can't reply to the person saying they're stuck on a certain puzzle, but I just finished all of them, so I can at least confirm that it's not impossible.

I thought it was really fun! Maybe I'll get the "boyfriend" DLC.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2021-11-10*

Not worth the money, the puzzles were fun but it was short and all the animated scenes are kind of annoying

### 1/5 — Suitable for 4+???

*2021-10-05*

The graphics are great but I thought this would be interesting for my 5-year old but the puzzles are too difficult with no option to go back to previous games or choose a level that would be more suitable. 

Please unlock the puzzles and/or add more easier puzzles, particularly as this is a paid version!

### 5/5 — Challenging but not addictive

*2021-10-02, version 1.1.0*

I like this because the puzzles are challenging but because it is not addictive, I can stop and come back to it with fresh eyes and try to solve it. The whole design is fun and strangely relaxing

### 5/5 — So cute

*2021-10-02*

Such a sweet and relaxing game. Love horses the mechanics of the puzzles feel like the process of letting go.

### 1/5 — Not a cleaning game

*2021-09-21, version 1.0.3*

This game has nothing to do with cleaning. It’s very misleading.

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2021-09-06*

Firstly, the game seems to be telling a story, but you have no idea what’s going on as there’s no talking / written words. Secondly, the puzzles are too hard. Once you’re stuck, it means you’re stuck forever. You can’t even try and fudge your way through like most puzzle games. So essentially the game is redundant now, as I’m stuck on a very early level. Thirdly, I would have thought the game would allow some form of “tidying” for the player. But it doesn’t. You just complete a puzzle and then mess in a section of a room is just removed with one click. Disappointed in this, especially given it’s a paid game. Wasted money. The 1 star is for the cute graphics.

### 3/5 — Feels like you’re helping… until you get stuck

*2021-09-05, version 1.0.2*

I spent a fun hour or two playing this Tidy Up game and really enjoyed it. While you’re not actually cleaning anything; you’re introduced (sort of) to a mysterious character and their cluttered (but very cute) home. 
Then you click on a section of clutter, play a little puzzle game, and POOF that section is now clean!
When you’re done with the whole room, you find out who you’ve helped, and in turn help yourself. It’s a pleasant little game. Soothing. And weirdly, it really does make me feel like I’m being helpful- and it might even make me want to tidy up a section of my own house.
Ugh - then came the third home, 2nd or 3rd puzzle. It’s supposed to be an upside down L shape and there is seriously no way to solve it. I’ve tried everything. 
Now I’m just frustrated and there are no other hints besides a little picture of the finished puzzle. 

Sadly, I’m about ready to tidy up my screen by removing this game and waving $4 goodbye.

### 1/5 — Extremely disappointing

*2021-09-05*

I have loved every Marie Kondo offering up to this point. However this game is very disapointing. There are no instructions for how to play the game and it is very unclear what the point of it even is? Super frustrating and absolutely not worth paying money for at this point.
