This is a charming match-two puzzle game starring the meadow’s most unlikely hero: Grumpy. Once the fastest bee alive, Grumpy mysteriously wakes up grounded. His wings will not lift, and the world around him is losing its color. When he encounters a tiny elk, the elk tells Grumpy that the world is out of sync. Minds are tangled, matching objects have been separated, and reality itself is slipping into black and white. So what now? Reunite what belongs together to restore the peace of mind of others. Help a lonely cloud finally play the violin, spark the appetite of a dramatic flesh-eating plant, lull a wide-awake cat into gentle dreams, and give a shy astronaut the courage to dance on the moon. Relaxing, satisfying visual puzzles, gentle humor, and beautifully transforming environments make Grumpy hard to put down. Grumble your way through delightful challenges, chase high scores, and maybe even fix those stubborn wings along the way.
