Painting the map with various colors was surprisingly addictive. Well done, had some great fun playing!

- Cool use of grayscale and colors simultaneously. It was a nice touch in order to represent not only the play-style but a kind of simplistic way to showcase the use of the theme

Tell us about your game!
We have made a horde survival game around the concept of spreading color in an otherwise grayscale world, which has been taken over by aliens called the Grayliens. A longer and more comedic version of the full lore can be found on the project's Itch.io page and we encourage you to read it if you find the time!
The game in its current state features two different weapons to cycle between and the ability to unlock and switch through colors during the run. Each weapon leaves its selected color on the ground and paints a unique and fun picture throughout the run which gets shown to the player in a zoomed out shot at the end if they win the game. The game takes 5 minutes to play from start to end at the moment and has two basic enemies and a boss.
Controls are detailed in game as we made a dedicated help menu for it, so make sure to give that a look, but most prompts can also be found on the screen during gameplay.
Our GDD has gotten quite detailed and if you are interested in more detailed information about the game like things that didn't make the MVP among others, please give it a read!
We have made it our goal to make every asset in the game ourselves and are happy to report that we achieved that! All art assets, sound effects, music and code have been handcrafted by the team from scratch and no external resources were used. We hope you enjoy them!
Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
