Cool platformer, very loosely reminded me of a more intense Gris with the colors. Nice job! :)

This game is really neat. What a cool twist on the Metroidvania formula!

I loved watching the world come alive as you found the various colors… Seriously cool game.

Developer

Thanks... I may develop the idea into a full game, with bosses for each color ect...

Loved it!  I struggled with the wall jump but dang it was amazingly fun.  My daughter gasped 'Who is she!?' when she saw the sprite.  So, good job there too!  The animation was fluid given the constraints.  Huge amount of content as well. unique abilities and the way the world warped was very cool.  Keep up the good work!

An impressive game and a good idea. Each ability pleasantly transforms the world not only gameplay but also visually and it is exciting.

I'm impressed by the amount of content you managed to put into this game. It was fun playing it and seeing what power each new color would give me. Good job!

excellent level design and really great controls, a really fun platformer!

The idea is very nice ! Unlocking more colors and abilities makes the same map feels different, which was cool. I just found it to be hard to wall jump on the same wall multiples times, died 2 or 3 times but managed to finish the game. I enjoyed the audio a lot ! Good job .

I have been getting some feed back about the difficulty of jumping on the same wall.... its something I will address in an update after the jam ends. I might add a wall climb instead of single side wall jumping.

Very enjoyable gameplay, and an impressive amount of content for the jam. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks soo much.....

Very well done. The double jump is a bit difficult but that might just be me.

Graphics are very nice and the concept is great too. Giving health back at save points is a sweet touch.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I had to cut some things just to get it in on time.  I play to continue to work on the project and flesh out a full game.

This game is pretty awesome! I like how the colors allow the player to affect the world. I also like that there are instructions for how to play in the game… that said, those instructions seem to be in a weird place. When the game started I went to the right (as that’s where the character starts off facing) and I made my way to the color purple… but then I found a save spot, and the text just says “use save to heal”, but no instructions on how to use it. I pressed every key on my keyboard but nothing was working. I skipped that save spot and went back to the left and in the next level I found all of the instructions, including how to use the save spot. It’s just unusual (and to me confusing) placing as I will have encountered a few things that this level later explains.

My other minor criticism is enemies don’t really react to getting hit. Everything functions right, but, when I hit an enemy it would sometimes continue to move right through me and hurt me.

Over all, I thought this was a very good game! :D

Thanks... This my first jam... and your are right not sure why I left the first save point in... I meant to remove it after I added the tutorial section, I was in a rush and finished it with only 30 mins to spare.  I will continue working on it after the jam is over... and will definitely fix the  save point and continue working on the enemy AI....
