Reception

Eurogamer criticized the game, noting that while it had "a nice idea and some gorgeous artwork", it was "a mechanical MacGuffin hunt with no characters, no narrative, no substance or resonance beyond a couple of wistful haikus about seasons passing". It said the puzzles were not very elaborate, with movement being tedious.

264,000 downloads of Tengami have been sold across all platforms the end of May 2018, with 196,000 on iOS devices, 11,000 on PC and Mac, and another 11,000 on Wii U, which exceeded Nyamyam's expected sales on the console.
