Smooth gameplay with good jumping mechanics and a creative color mechanic.
Beautiful visuals and art style complemented by magical music and good voice acting.
Heartwarming and well-thought-out story addressing themes like art, family, and anxiety.

Several game-breaking bugs and rough edges, including random deaths, stuck moments, and unreliable triggers.
Automatic camera angles and checkpoint respawns cause frustration, disorientation, and motion sickness.
Short length and limited polish typical of a student project, with some tedious and repetitive elements detracting from overall experience.

story
13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
38% positive mentions, 39% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions
The story is generally seen as thoughtful, emotional, and immersive, with good voice acting and artwork enhancing the experience. However, some players find it short or occasionally frustrating due to game bugs, precise trigger points, and frequent journal prompts. Overall, the story appeals most to those who engage with its narrative elements closely.
- “I was immersed in the background story (including its good voice acting), and the artwork is very nice.”
- “Nice story, and good voice acting.”
- “This is a beautiful retro platformer with an immersive story.”
- “I know that someone was trying to tell an emotional story here, and at times I could almost feel the game tugging on the old heartstrings, but it never quite got there.”
- “One of the biggest frustrations is having to constantly open the journal every few seconds as new story elements are added.”
- “I can't give my opinion on the story yet as the game seemed to bug out near the end for me—I approached the trailer, but nothing happened, so I couldn’t progress further.”
gameplay
7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The gameplay is generally smooth with enjoyable jumping mechanics and a creative color-based concept, but lacks enemy interaction and can feel padded. Some issues include imprecise mechanics, problematic automatic camera angles causing unintended falls, and inconsistent respawn behavior. Overall, while the gameplay is solid, it falls short of matching top-tier visuals and could benefit from tighter controls and clearer environmental cues.
- “As far as gameplay goes, it's all good here, it's smooth, and the jumping is good.”
- “One thing I will say is the mechanics could be a little tighter and knowing what surface I can stand on and what is slippery would be helpful to know.”
- “But the mechanics of the automatic camera angle have caused me to fall off and die too many times; some respawns backtrack quite a long way (though at least game progress is retained) and others don't respawn chroma with me (so I have to respawn yet again).”
- “My issue with the ranged 'attack' is that the developers seemed to have put in more things to interact with than necessary, but that is probably due to the fact there are no enemies, just to pad the gameplay a little bit.”

67% positive mentions, 16% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions
The game features strong and appealing visuals with a magical art style that enhances immersion, especially in its narrative elements. However, while the graphics are commendable, the overall polish and technical stability are lacking, typical of a student project.
- “The graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing.”
- “The art style and music was just magical.”
- “I was immersed in the background story (including its good voice acting), and the artwork is very nice.”
- “The students made an art-heavy narrative platformer about an artist bringing colour to a colourless world, and while the students nailed the visuals fairly well, like all student projects this is short, lacks polish, and is filled with game-breaking bugs that will never be fixed.”

emotional

The game attempts to deliver an emotional story and evokes some heartfelt moments, but ultimately falls short of fully engaging the player's emotions. Despite its familiar concept, the subject matter remains heartwarming.
- “I know that someone was trying to tell an emotional story here, and at times I could almost feel the game tugging on the old heartstrings... but it never quite got there.”
- “A similar concept to many games I've played but still a heartwarming one given its subject matter.”
