This is a cute game! I can toatally see this be hosted somewhere like CoolMathGames.com! You did a great job and making a engaging puzzle game!
I completed the game! It took me roughly 30 minutes to get past The Passage, but after that most of it was smooth sailing. Droplets 1&2 feels like I got passed it by luck, but maybe it's because of my s k i l l s as well ^^. The difficulty arc is also very well thought of, although I think The Passage should be one of the few finale levels instead, the first few levels laying down the base mechanic I thought was incredibly helpful. The music changing when the player is in black or white is really cool as well! Knowing you, you always make captivating games, and this just adds one more to the list.
Overall very extremely polished, great concept, a bop of a soundtrack, and outstanding gameplay that is executed very well. I had a lot of fun in this, well done!
Okay I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY at how amazing this game is. The visuals are super stunning, the music matches the intensity, the levels can be super hard, but the forgiving restart option made me totally fine trying and trying until I got it. I beat the whole game and loved every minute of it. I'm serious. 5s all around. Just wow wow wow.
It says the audio is original too, did you write the music?!?!
Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed it and I hope you will follow me.
The music is entirely original. It was written by BinaryCounter. Here's his sound cloud album: https://soundcloud.com/binarycounter/sets/chromophobia-ost-game-jam
I already do follow you! I followed you after playing your Great Spring Jam game. You make excellent games.
Really cool aesthetic :)
Alas, I’m really bad at it! So I never got to see more than a few seconds.
Cool concept, I especially like how visually appealing it is, despite the very simple appearance at first. The sort of spilled-paint-ink-thing effect when you win is great, is it some kind of well executed standard animation or something more sophisticated?
My one criticism would definitely be dying by touching the edges. I don't even think it's about the edges being hard to see (though that doesn't help). I believe it shouldn't happen period, you should just stay at the edge until some other color shift kills you. Dying to the game window feels kind of cheap to me, like dying from some arbitrary limitation and not from game mechanics.
Thank you for the feedback! A few people have mentioned the Border being frustrating. After the gym is over I think I will upload a version where the Border just stops you but doesn't hurt you.
The "spilled Ink" Effect is something I developed using Unity's particle system.
Also I love all your games. I tried to message you on Twitter but your account is private. If you ever wanted to collaborate it would be great to hear from you.
One of the best games I played at this jam! The music that changes according to the colors, the animations are good. I really enjoyed playing it!
Only Issue I have with this game is that hitting the corners shouldn't make you lose but other than that this game was alot of fun!
Do you mean that the edge of the screen shouldn't kill you? I feel like that can be confusing because of the background. I should have put a little colored box around the game area
So polished! Animations and transitions are amazing! The concept is really interesting, controls are simple and the player is well-introduced to the game mechanics. Good job!
Really cool and original concept. A bit challenging at first and the fourth level kicked my butt but it was really rewarding to keep going. Groovy music as well!
Really fun and polished! Also, quite challenging :D
Very much enjoyed the game. Took a while to get used to the controls but it's really cool. Simple controls and great reaction/puzzle game. The music is great and I like that it is different for each level.
The water colours at the end when you complete a level are a really nice touch and a lovely surprise to get once you complete the level. Also the transitions were very nicely done.
My favourite was on the first level. When the instruction box was also a hazzard. That one got me good and I loved it.
That was a really cool concept. Loved it! That's really simple but it's very well implemented! When the music change wether you're in white or not is so cool, he oil spilling at the end of a level is really satisfying! The music sync in some levels is just perfect
Nice sounds, cps are well spaced. Ngl I was surprised at first, the game was not that appealing on the screenshots. But I was hella wrong! congrats!
Almost a 10/10 for me. I think you cloud even port that to mobile somehow and win a couple bucks with some ads bewteen level!
PS: Droplets 2 gave me the most anxiety.
Really hope you get in the top places!
Thank you for the kind words! I agree that the screenshots are not appealing. It's hard to screenshot this game well!
Also, yeah... I cannot beat Droplets 2. So if you did congrats. I'm pretty sure it is possible, but it's not for me. Haha!
I sure did! once you get the timing you're good to go! a bit disapointing there was no end screen afterwards.
Woah! You are impressive!
Really enjoyed it, but got stuck on the 4th level (with the small gaps between the lines). Just couldn't move fast enough :p really fun game!
Nice job with the introduction of the game mechanics. Fun to play.
The visuals for this game are very satisfying. Good Job!
