Colored Effects
The initial fun may soon give way to want; want of less linear design, more balanced difficulty, and (ironically enough) more color, to name just a few things. Colored Effects is fair enough for its budget price. But I’m curious what the developer can do with future releases that’ll hopefully be more fun and polished.

8 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay features a progressive unlocking of abilities that introduces interesting mechanics, blending platforming and puzzle-solving for a challenging experience. However, after the initial 20 levels, players may find the gameplay repetitive as all main mechanics are already established, a common trait in many platformers.
“The abilities are unlocked progressively and make for very interesting mechanics, requiring some thinking outside the box - just the right amount of puzzling and platforming to make the experience challenging and fun.”
“Colored effects enhance the full gameplay experience, contributing to all achievements and trophies.”
“All of the main mechanics get introduced in the first 20 levels, meaning that afterwards the levels tend to feel repetitive.”
“Many platformers have this mechanic, and the ones that don't feel really awkward to jump with.”
“Colored effects - full gameplay - all achievements/trophies.”
