Niji

Fly around the skies and bring back color to the world !

Lost colors ? Well that's depressing...

Embark on a journey aboard your trusty Macchi-M33 and collect the lost colors of the world.

Each color makes the scenery a bit more enjoyable !

To collect the lost colors simply throw your plane at it ( FAA approved, no need to check ), each color modifies the game a bit. There are a total of 4 lost colors to find afterwards you'll be able to enjoy a regular world with no shades of gray.

Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for planes to save; they just stand there shining. - "Anne Lamott" ( allegedly )

When you'll want to return back to firmer grounds simply head for the lighthouse.

Enjoy !

CONTROLS

MOUSE & KEYBOARD ( keyboard language agnostic )

W / S - Pitch ( up / down )

What a beautiful game, is that the new version of Flight simulator ? The plane controls feels so nice !
A little sad that there's only 4 collectibles though
But overall, well done !

Looks so unique! u have to be really brave to create a 3d game in such a short time, I admire that

I really like the controls of the plane, the decor is pretty nice. A good game for chilling. Some bugs found : the 3rd view makes you see through your plane, i don't think someone will use it. If your plane touch the water a bit too much vertically, the plane will spin really fast and the only way to stop it is to reduce the speed (with shift button). Good job!

What can I say about Nifi... I felt calm and relaxed, and was transported back to my childhood, imagining myself as Porco Rosso. The music is exceptional for a JAM game.

Honestly, it's very beautiful, but I regret the cube filter throughout the game, which made it a little grainy. There's a small bug with two cameras (one enters the vehicle, the other can collide).

But other than that, I had a great time, and the effects were really well done.

My only real regret is that there are only four items to collect.

Congratulations! A rare gem!

Such an amazing idea with a cool execution! The camera pov switch is a very nice addition to this comtemplative-style game.

Is there a way to find color with no sound? I had an hard time finding them.

Overall nice cozy entry, good job to the team!

@damyyr Hey I'm glad you liked it ! Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to add ways to find the colors without sound 😆

thanks for the appreciation :)

Cool concept, I see great potential in it if they decided to build on the game a bit more. The music was a really nice touch :)

The visuals, audio, and overall mood are perfect! Thank you for that experience and emotions, additional thanks for the opportunity to invert the controls))

Beautiful visuals, struggled to find the final color had to give up after looping the island chain multiple times.

I could see this type of design being used to visually change the scenery in a way for progressing game play. Really cool concept overall and exactly the kinds of creative thinking I love to see from LD.

Great and stylish visuals, but the controls are not for lamers like me (( I also didn't understand at all where I'm heading to and where the colours are. But I'll figure it out in my next tries.

A very atmospheric game, I love the filter and the content that gets added every time I eat a ball. But I’m too clumsy and not very good at controlling the plane. I often crash straight into the water and have to quit the game and reopen it. Hahaha, I don’t know, maybe adding a restart menu would be better. I mean, for someone like me who’s not good at controls, it’s a great game, once again!```

@bzz-nsk Hey for the colors you can find them by listening to the ‘radar‘ bip, they are spacialized, also if you plan to replay it you should download it again i made a small patch on the music :)

@yuriscat Hey I'm glad you liked the game :) Yeah for the menu I tried but didn't get enought time :sob: I hope you still liked playing !

Loved the vibes! Found red, green and blue, which I'm guessing are all the colours. Super chill flying around in the colourful world.
