DESCRIPTION
"To The UltraViolet" is a mobile platformer that I wanted to do because I had a good concept in mind (in my opinion), and always wanted to make a game.
I couldn't make really polished graphics (I'm a programmer, not a graphist), so I used the minimalistic style to make the style of the game. I was inspired by "Super Meat Boy".
In the game, you're "Ultra", a little violet square, lost in all the rainbow colors. Your goal is to reach the ultraviolet color by passing through all the levels, killing your enemies on your way. There are 70 levels, there are 9 kinds of enemies on your way.
You need to go through the 70 levels in one go, and you need to kill every ennemies to go to the next level. Every level will bring you closer to the ultraviolet color (think about the rainbow, from the red to the violet).
In term of gameplay, I like to think that it is a mix of Mario and Bomberman. Mario because, well... It's a platfomer ! Bomberman because you need to kill enemies by throwing bombs. Because I couldn't make some 2d animations, I used the unity particles system to make really cool effects that I am very proud of.

MONETIZATION
This game is free, but offers very optionnal in-app purchases. You can buy some lives, the ability to launch an additionnal simultaneous bomb, and to remove ads.
There are very few ads, only if the player wants to continue after a game over. So if you want to play freely, without any ads, you just have to restart after a game over. I think it's fair, feedbacks appreciated.

ASKING FOR FEEDBACKS
I would like to know if this game may have potential. I have done 80% and already launched a beta version on Android, iOS will come soon. I could launch it on other patforms as I use Unity but this is not a priority.
I may add a final boss if the game finds its audience.
Thank you very much for reeding ! Hope you like it !
