Awesome! Loved switching between colors as a mechanic. The art and music were really good and the gameplay was really fun. My only complaint was that the snowmen could kill you even when you can't see them, which felt incredibly unfair. all in all, a very solid entry. Nice work!

cool and unique mechanic.

An original idea! I very much enjoyed it.

My only feedback would be the first enemies that only have one colour, I would at least give them a black "outline" so they appear ghost-like when they go on a white background. Not being able to see what kills you at all is not so fun. They could, for example, have a blinking outline that blinks with a delay in between, so you can only see them occasionally when on a white background.

Otherwise a stellar game!

Super cool concept. Really fun to play around. Simple but really well executed. Levels are well planned out. Not overly complicated enemies make sense and the text through out is well thought out too. Nice job, great game!

Good game, I had fun playing it. the enemies going invisible was a very good mechanic and i liked it , but sometimes it was a little bit confusing , especially in level 7. Overall a fun game. Nice job!

The main character is really cute and the graphics are nice. One thing i noticed is the snowmans are not visible when they are on white ground, but they can still kill the player. Not sure if this is a bug or intended design, but felt to me a little unfair. Other than that cool game, nice idea.

Developer

Hey thanks for playing! The invisible enemies were an intentional design meant to play with the two-color limitation of the jam. Sorry it was frustrating

Neat, the switch mechanic is really cool. Big fan of the hand made levels, particularly the one where you have to dash straight down past the snowmen who slowly move right. The addition of an endless mode is a cool concept too, although it seems like only the watchers can spawn, and the flag always seems to be in the same general area.

Developer

The endless mode was a last minute addition for those who finished the main levels, so thanks for playing all the way through!

Like the idea!!
In this kind of games you die every 3-4 secs, I'd suggest to improve the FXs and make them more satisfying.
I enjoyed the game tho, good job!

Developer

Thank you! Satisfying FX would definitely enhance

I got the point very quickly but the change speed seems pretty unforgiving. 

Developer

Timing could maybe be tweaked haha glad to hear we communicated the premise well!
