Chromatics [Old]

Notice:

This is a re-release of a game I had made way back in high school. At some point, I will be pulling this project down as it does not reflect my current abilities as a game designer. To those of you who gave it a try, thanks for playing, and I give my sincerest apologies for subjecting you to a janky platformer.

Original release description:

Grab a colour wheel, you may need it.

Chromatics is a puzzle platformer revolving around the usage of basic colour theory. You must understand the basics, Primary, Secondary, and Complimentary colours.

The character you play as has a basic black and white default state, but can change to any of the 3 primary colours. In these coloured states, the player can contact any surface that is the same colour as them, any grey surface, and any secondary colour surface that would require the player’s colour to be created. (eg. Red can touch Red, Orange, and Purple.) The black and white player can contact any coloured surface.

Each coloured state gives the player new abilities. Red increases speed, Blue allows wall jumping/climbing, and Yellow allows high jumping.

There are no enemies, instead the game environment completely changes depending on the player’s coloured state. A safe passage for a player with the blue state might be incredibly dangerous for a player in the red state.
