The player assumes the form of a kind of eyeball and ascends into the skies of the magnificent world \u201clike a brush stroke on a piece of paper.\u201d The game is described as an experience that provides a peaceful break from reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In TENSEI, you can make use of triple jumps to make your way up. In addition, collecting orbs in the game field allows you take on the form of a dragon and fly across the space in a \u201cboost mode.\u201d There are also tricky damage zones present on the stage which can be purified by dropping down forcefully. The game seems to require a great deal of concentration if you want to make it up high while avoiding damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The title of the game, Tensei (\u70b9\u775b), is a Japanese word that refers to adding the finishing touch, specifically eyes, to an animal or dragon painting, and it is most well-known through a proverb that translates literally to \u201cleaving a dragon painting incomplete\/without its eye.\u201d The proverb comes from an ancient Chinese story about the dragon in a painting flying off into the sky as soon as its eyes were painted on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230914-264308-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Pegasus, the development team under NEURON-AGE is based in Osaka and Tokyo.
