Nice art :) The concept is great as well!
Thank you! The color changing aspect happened mostly by accident because the kiddos liked the art but wanted to color their own variants of the princess after we got her flying. We needed a way for them to see their costumes in game! 😄
Fun game with some really charming art and good sound effects. I thought the map selection was a nice touch, too.
Thank you! I wish I had been able to pull off some music to go with the sounds but I am not very good at that kind of thing so I cut it (you can probably still find my attempts at creating a song in the editor though)
Really well done game with an pretty nice concept! Also it's pretty interesting to see a multiplayer game too!
Tic 80 was a really fun platform to build on and made multiplayer pretty straightforward (complete with gamepad mapping)! There is definitely some glitchiness still there with screen following if you get two sisters fighting to fly in opposite directions though 😅
Nice, I liked how I had to become more thoughtful and strategic with my shots after I understood that I'd have to 'clean up' at the end.
Glad you liked it! I kinda accidentally stumbled into the idea when I decided to make everyone paint tiles.
To make the choice to spray and pray more impactful I considered making it so you can’t respawn if you let tile color for the level get too low (the reason I built out the rainbow bar in level) but didn’t have a chance to build that out.
Excellent little game, great art and concept!
Thanks!
I like the fact that you have to restore the color in the map. It’s a solid game!
My art directors (daughters) said the princess won after she restored peace. We went back and forth on the exact meaning of that 😂
(“….and after you defeat all the critters you have to gather all the elements of the scepter of power and then gather potion ingredients….” “You know I only have a week on this right?”)
Children are the best when it comes to ideas. Congratulate them in my behalf :)
Very cool to see a map! Also like the colour changing mechanic.
Thanks! The map was a late addition so I didn’t have the chance to integrate it as well as I’d liked. Seemed a shame not to include one given I’d built some support for it in my base UI framework though.
