[TOMT] Help me find an old iPod game from early 2010s when you “color the world”

Pending

Hi everyone! This has been driving me crazy for years, so I’m hoping someone here might recognize it.

I used to play this game a ton with my cousin on my iPod around 2010–2012 (when I was in about 3rd grade). My cousin and I have been trying to remember the name of the game and cannot find any trace of it anywhere.

From what I remember, the game started in a black-and-white, kind of pixelated world. You controlled a character that would walk around, and wherever you moved, it would leave behind a trail of color, like you were bringing the world back to life. I’m pretty sure that was one of the main goals of the game, restoring color to everything.

I also remember there being presents or gift boxes scattered around, and when you walked into them, they would give you some kind of tool or ability. I don’t remember exactly what they did, but I distinctly remember the presents being part of the gameplay.

That’s about all I can remember, but the coloring mechanic and the presents really stand out to me. I’m losing my mind over this and I can’t even find ONE picture to prove that it ever existed. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
