    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as shallow and more suited for mobile platforms rather than serious PC gaming, with puzzles that start easy but increase in difficulty as new mechanics are introduced. However, "Dungeon Color" is praised for its creative mechanics, balanced difficulty progression, and engaging visuals, making it a fun and challenging experience overall.

    • “Dungeon Color is a very fun and pretty game, with a beautiful protagonist and challenging levels. Its progression of difficulty is very well balanced, its music is very relaxing and pleasant to listen to, and its main mechanics are creative, creating extremely challenging levels to solve.”
    • “Dungeon Color is a very nice puzzle game; the color-changing fire mechanic is very cool.”
    • “I couldn't see this on the mobile app stores, but it seems more suited to mobile apps than being a serious PC game, as the shallow gameplay lacks sufficient depth to be recommendable to any serious PC gaming enthusiast.”
    • “Regarding the puzzles themselves, they start off quite easy but become increasingly difficult with each mechanic added.”
    • “The art, the sounds, the music, the gameplay.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are a mixed bag; while some users appreciate the polished visuals and animations, others criticize the use of outdated retro pixel art and the lack of resolution customization. The visuals remain consistent throughout the game, leading to a sense of monotony, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “The music, the visuals, that feeling when everything comes together.”
    • “Really nice and polished game, with good visuals and audio!”
    • “The animations and visuals are nice, but that's about it.”
    • “Resolution and controls are locked, and can't be changed or customized to improve the visuals or the control experience, beyond two aspect choices that don't actually change the resolution of the game or make it look any better.”
    • “A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
    • “And while it's nice, there's no variation whatsoever; it's the same visuals for the entire game.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its relaxing yet engaging quality, striking a balance that enhances the overall experience without becoming monotonous. It complements the visuals and gameplay, creating a harmonious atmosphere that encourages players to tackle challenging levels while enjoying the groovy and pleasant soundscapes. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a key element that enriches the game's aesthetic and gameplay dynamics.

    • “Everything in this game makes me more willing to simply solve the levels, the sound effects, the visual effects, the music, everything works in harmony to give you a wonderful experience.”
    • “The music track is relaxing enough to not be annoying but too much to be sleepy.”
    • “The music... the visuals... that feeling when everything comes together.”
    • “Everything in this game makes me more willing to simply solve the levels; the sound effects, the visual effects, the music, everything works in harmony to give you a wonderful experience.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and monotonous, characterized by slow movement and basic tasks that lack excitement or engagement. Many feel that the experience could benefit from a more dynamic approach, as it often feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable part of gameplay.

    • “There are no 'aha' moments; it's just slow, tedious walking, stopping for a second to do some basic 'connect the dots' logic, and then more slow walking.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a narrative component, with users noting that there is no story to engage with.

    • “There is no story.”
    • “The game lacks any meaningful narrative.”
    • “The storyline is completely absent.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of this game has been criticized for its low price point of $4, which some users associate with a trend of shovelware and lazy cash grabs in games developed with Gamemaker Studio.

    • “Very often, game maker studios are used to create shovelware and lazy cash grabs, and with a $4 USD price tag here, that's not out of the question.”
