The Last Tinker: City of Colors transports users to an unusual world. In it, houses are made of papier-mâché, streets are paved with plasticine, and plants are created using cardboard. Events take place in the city of Colortown, which was attacked by the forces of Darkness. It’s up to Kor, the last of the Craftsmen people, to cope with them. The plot is presented through screensavers. You can't skip them. You can only speed up the dialogues.

The Last Tinker: City of Colors is a mixture of adventure, platformer and action. The game uses a third-person view. The monkey-like protagonist can run, ride through pipes, walk on ropes, and jump. Moreover, the character performs jumps between platforms and ledges independently and automatically. He can also fight enemies and evade their attacks using rolls. As you progress, the hero gains new skills. The power of the three spirits will teach him to stun and frighten opponents, hit harder, create a shield, and slow down time. These skills allow you to improve. Frightened opponents may fall into an abyss or onto spikes while fleeing. At the same time, there is no cruelty or violence in the project, since it is designed primarily for young gamers. The title has a low barrier to entry and low complexity.

In addition to fighting enemies and overcoming obstacles, there are puzzles to solve. The puzzles are based on using the skills of two companion mushrooms. Little Bomber can run fast and explode. And large Biggs can be used to activate plates, destroy obstacles and as a transport. In the game you can also collect crystals scattered throughout the corridor locations. This is an analogue of currency. They can be used to buy various upgrades in stores. They increase strength, increase health, and everything like that. Vending machines also sell additional abilities.
