LudumData

Color Range by allinlabs

[raw]
made by allinlabs for LD28 (COMPO)
== DESCRIPTION ==

You Only Get (to see) One color (at a time).

Color Range is a platformer where every level has several different colored elements,
but you can only have one colored set of elements visible at a time.
The idea come from noddy2006 and Managore on Reddit, kudos to them.


== KEY BINDING==

* AD to move (QD for qwerty keyboards)
* Space to jump
* 1,2,3,4,5 to switch color (mouse wheel and clicking on the HUD works too)
* N to jump to the next level if you need to
* R to restart a level


== Update ==

* pushed an hotfix for the 4th and 5th colors that was making the game impossible to complete if you were switching colors with the keyboard and not the wheel mouse. Thanks to ParaPup and hazzen for noticing

What a great concept. I think it would be awesome if I could use my keypad (number pad) instead of the numbers at the top to change colors. It would feel a bit more fluid than having one hand floating over the top of the other to hit numbers while moving.

Otherwise, the concept is awesome, the controls and platforming seemed really responsive and solid. Great game all around.

Once I got to the level with 4 and 5 it didn't work but I really like what you have done here.

4 and 5 are broken on the first level with them, so I can't tell if you went anywhere with this or not. Similar mechanic to Fly Wrench, though much less manic.

Also, listing the controls would be nice - took me a while to figure out how to move, and then a while longer to figure out jump.

This is beautiful, unique, and incredibly clever. Please, please, please extend this. An interesting idea might be to give each colour a different attribute too (e.g. blue is slippy like ice) for later stages. Would like some foreshadowing of the position of blocks though, like the shadows of the blue projectiles you see later on, but for everything.

This is such a clever mechanic! :) I like the way you are slowly increasing the difficulty! This is something I'd love to see extended! :D

It's really wonderful to see me and noddy2006's idea made into a game! I like the minimalist style and the variety of levels. Terrific job!

I've seen another interation of this mechanics in this LD, but yours plays somehow smoother .. maybe it's the music :)

Very cool concept. Its just a shame that games like these are the ones that seem like they ran out of time to put levels in! Why does it have to be over so fast? Good execution to be sure though.

Love the style, very clean, very minimalistic. And the core mechanic is great. You should make a full game from it, it'll be interesting. :)

I really enjoyed this game and especially enjoyed the visuals. One thing that would be useful is being able to see where the are colours are when they are not active (like the way you can see still see the missiles when they are not active)

Yes it was short, but this is one of the coolest games I've seen thus far. Great work :)

Hahaha, we had the same idea for the game! I like from yours the better level design and the UI elements (really help). I found the jump a bit dodgy at times. Well done!

Really nice, I enjoyed this.. Maybe little too easy, but I know that creating good and balanced levels is really hard in such time. Music is repetitive but I noticed it only now, when I'm not concentrated to the game anymore -- it's not problem because of the short length ;) Good job
