Now, this is what I call art! This developer went his way to hand-paint EVERYTHING except for two of the three last worlds. It's beautiful and so very tasteful in both form and color.

It's a very straightforward puzzle platformer. There are many worlds to discover, each being set in a different dimension and each having different artistical themes from acrylic to watercolor. Each of these worlds has one or more gimmicks to spice up the puzzle platforming, with the oil pastels world having different insects you can ride to traverse the area in different ways to unlock the way toward your objective. The puzzles are very straight to the point and I can guarantee you that you'll never get stuck. It's not a mindless playthrough but one that you can make your way through without getting headaches and instead feel kinda clever. Let's not forget about the amazing soundtrack, wow.

Storywise I got reminded of Wondersong (2018) and how it played around with the theme of being the hero. Since The Multi-Medium is a 2- or so hour-long experience there isn't much to go off of, but I still think its message came across by the end, to a satisfying end at that! Play this, you who is a platformer fanatic, and a connoisseur of the arts.
