How does your game fit the theme?
We decided to use colors to fit the theme. The idea is to blend colors together to create new ones and pass obstacles. In short, you have to "join" the colors together to succeed

It is a really cool concept. Hope you can work it into something bigger. The level design was too obvious, there are definitely more possibilities out of this!!
Love the bass lick in the background. I wish I'd been able to move faster. The simple colored platforms i understood but i didn't understand the point of the ones with the colored backgrounds, like i think i could always land on those regardless of my color..? Not enough levels. it felt like there was potential if it got harder, but it just ended!
From what I understand, the background mixes your color with the color of the background to create a third color..? I only got it at the last level though.
Thanks for the feedback !
That is exactly as Katelina77 said.
We have 2 possiblities to change colors :
The first one is the plaftorms with particles. When you stomp on them, you take the color of the platform.
Then, you also have some backgrounds that can be mixed with you. In that case, you add your color to the color of the background. For example, if you are green, and the background is red, you mix both colors and become yellow. You keep this color while the background is still behind you.
The game is a bit confusing at the start but great idea!
This is a highly original concept, and was chill to play.
Well done!
Wasn't really sure why I was changing color sometimes but cool little platformer :)
Thank you :)
You change color when you stomp on a platform with particles. In that case you take the color of the platform.
You also change color when there is a different color in the background. Then you take the color of the combination while you have the background is behind you. (For example if you are green, and the background is red, you add both color and you bcome yellow)
Good fun and clever puzzles, nice job!
Creative concept! I struggled a bit with predicting the colour combinations but I suspect that problem would be erased with more levels added!
Thank for the feedback!
What we aimed in terms of level struture is having a tutorial phase with some puzzles after.
In this game, the first 2 levels are tutorials. The first one teach the changment of colors + platforms. The second one is for the color blending.
It seems that it is still a little bit short to understand fully the game mechanics.
I wish there was more to this. You started exploring some really cool and fun puzzles. After the jam it'd be nice to see a few more levels on this.
Thank you !
Really nice to see that you enjoy the game !
With the time allowed, we only had time for a small prototype, and we weren't able to put all our puzzles ideas in the game. So we might implement them when the jam ends.
A really nice simple game, would love to see how else you could expand this idea!
Thank you !
THis was really only a prototype, but it is highly possible that we extend the game after the jam :)
Your welcome! Good luck with the game going forward!!
Well, I had some problems in that I got stuck on level 3 I think. Having a reset button would be helpful ^_^ I did like the music, but because it was such a short loop and I got stuck, I actually wanted it to stop. Might be nice to have a toggle or a longer loop.
I had a hard time as another commenter mentioned telling apart the color phase areas from the platforms. I wasn't able to progress any further.
But, definitely an interesting idea and appreciated it! Thanks for the experience. Cheers.
Thank you for the feedback !
Yeah, it seems that the "background" thing is the biggest flaw of the game.
It shows how importat feedbacks are for the player, will definetly improve that for my next games !
When you says that you were stuck in level 3, do you remember if it was because of a bug, or because you didn't find the solution ? (I wanna know if there are some game breaking bugs that passed through my testing phase ^^)
You know, let me give it another round quick... I was pretty sure that I tried going everywhere at one point and I just had nowhere to go because I'd locked myself somewhere. But let me see if I can get it again. I'll come back and reply again.
Oh ok, I guess I was just a bit incompetent at the time, though there is a bit of a trick to getting over there to get turned green XD It was apparently difficult for me to achieve that jump, and it's the only way out of that, so at the time I felt as though I must have either done something wrong or run into a bug. I promise that I did try a lot the other day but I was staying up rather later than I normally would have and had a bit of a sleep deficit XD That and I'm not a great platformer in the first place.
Many thanks for taking the time to retry the game !
Yes, the jump seems impressive at first ^^ And the solution is not as easy when you the way backgrounds are platforms are displayed is the game :/
Again, thank you very much for giving it a try. I almost feel ashamed as the end screen is not nice, and you did all that to get to it ^^
Oh goodness, no problems there! You HAVE an end screen that makes it clear the game is actually over! (Among some jam games, it's nice by virtue of just that!) :D Thanks again for the game ^_^
That was a neat little game! Brought me back to the good days of enjoying flash games. It is a good working concept.
Thank you !
Aaah the flash game era... brought back some old memories for me as well ^^
Love the music and with a little post-processing, this could be one of the nicest looking games! There could be some great puzzles made with these mechanics. Great work Doriens!
Thank you very much !
That's a tricky idea to get your head around - it fits the theme so well!
P.S I really like that lighting effect!
P.P.S Dope bass line, it's real phat.
Thank you very much !
PS: The core idea of this game was for me to improve with light effects. So I'm glad you liked it !
PPS: if you like, there is a link to my soundcloud in the description. I don't have much for now, but I will definetely add some stuff soon :)
Man, this concept is so good! Will you add more levels in the future? And maybe also better indicators to differentiate between blocks and filtering areas?^^
Thanks for the lovely comment !
Yeah, I think I will add some content to it, as I had tons of idea for puzzles, but not enough time to implement them :p
I think this is indeed the biggest flaw of the game. I was thinking pf adding outlines, or maybe some light to differentiate them
Really cool game, with some nice puzzles! and a nice sound track to fit
Thank you !
Glad you like the music ! To be honest it was really done in a hurry 2 hours before the sumbission ^^
Nice work, short but creative and reveals my total ignorance of colour theory :P
Thank you !
You know, the color wheel was my best friend during this jam ^^
Awesome work! This game is so creative
Thank you !
This idea has a lot of potential. I think the main thing I can critique about the game right now is that it's hard to tell the difference between the "windows" that change colors and actual colored platforms.
Thanks !
Yeah, we wanted to add some outlines on the platform, but we ran out of time to do it ^^
I can't imagine the complicated programming behind this idea. So Original! Nice!
Thank you !
