Contre Jour is an arcade/puzzle mix with stunning visuals and atmosphere, released by Chillingo. At first the game wows you with amazing graphics – toned blacks and blues create a world that seems odd and believable at the same time. That’s not really easy to do without cliches, and the company behind CJ did just that.
Your goal as an odd, sperm-like-looking black ball with one eye (or a one-eyed-snake if you must 
) needs to travel towards an exit from a level by means of moving the ground and connecting it to various types of “leech-like” ropes. If you played the other Chillingo Classic – Cut the Rope, you’ll recognize some of the gameplay from there – it can be pretty similar at times. But here we don’t have the cut dinosaur and those pastel boxes. No, here we have darkness, mood and out-of-this world atmosphere. The basic mechanics remain the same, but that’s not really a problem. It’s more suitable for older players, if Cut the Rope is considered to be more childish. The music is ok, but it can get pretty annoying after a while, so I turned it off and put some Snoop Dogg on
Overall it’s a beautifully designed and fun to play game, so for 0,69 pounds (iPhone version) it’s a steal! The iPad version shines even brighter with bigger, HD graphics it’s simply a pleasure to play, so the price is bumped up to 2 quid. Here are the links:
