    The game's music is primarily ambient and electronic trance, creating a soothing soundscape that enhances the overall experience. Many players appreciate the soundtrack for its calming qualities, which help mitigate frustration during challenging gameplay. While some may find the electronic elements less appealing, the music is generally well-received and recommended even for those who may not enjoy the game itself.

    • “The game's soundtrack is a very ambient sort, bordering somewhere between genuine music and comfortable noise to fill out the soundscape.”
    • “The music is in the electronic trance genre, my favorite.”
    • “Indie geometry dash with a calm, soothing soundtrack that tempers any rage you might feel after dying for the tenth time in the same level.”

    The gameplay in Koloro is a lengthy and engaging platforming experience that emphasizes precise jump timing and mastery of various mechanics, such as spike traps and gravity switches. Players navigate through numerous well-designed stages that offer unique challenges, ensuring a non-repetitive and satisfying adventure, although some may find the enemy hitboxes overly large. Overall, the game is easy to learn but provides a challenging and rewarding experience.

    • “From spike traps and gravity switches to water submersion and buttons that rearrange the entire level, Koloro takes a single form of input from the player and turns it into miles of excellent gameplay.”
    • “There are quite a lot of stages, all perfectly built for torment and every chapter and branch in the routes has its own element of play and solving method. You get about 5 stages for each solving mechanism, so this game is not repetitive at all like some boring platformers; it's in fact very fun... and the gameplay usually felt longer than it is meant to be, mainly because of the death and retry.”
    • “This turns Koloro into a lengthy adventure relying entirely on good jump timing, grasping the behavior of how she jumps, and learning to implement the many mechanics the game throws at you.”
    • “The time trials really should be a UI element that is featured during gameplay though, rather than having to seek it in the level select.”
    • “For game control, this is a platforming game with a 'sliding' movement and we can't change direction unless we hit a wall; the only single button we could use to control the whole gameplay is the spacebar/mouse button for jumping.”
  • story9 mentions

    The story in the game is minimal and often vague, with sparse dialogue and grammatical issues, leaving much open to interpretation. While there are hints of a deeper narrative involving the protagonist's sister, the overall plot feels secondary to the game's artistic focus, and players may find the experience largely unchanged without it. The narrative begins abruptly and lacks development until the final boss encounter.

    • “Overall, the story seems wide open for interpretation, and the game could function more or less identically without it, which is fine.”
    • “As for the story, normally for this kind of art-focused game, the narrative is vague and shallow, which is normal.”
    • “Dialogue throughout the journey is sparse and the grammar isn't always what it should be, but there may be a deeper story regarding her sister.”
    • “Overall the story seems wide open for interpretation and the game could function more or less identically without it, which is fine.”
    • “Starts off very abruptly and then you get almost no story until you reach the final boss.”
  • graphics6 mentions

Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the game's appeal, making it an attractive choice for puzzle enthusiasts.

    • “There's a pleasant use of color in most levels of the game and even a surprising amount of complexity to a particular boss design, but ultimately the game's visuals are the most important thing they need to be: clean and easily readable.”
    • “The visuals make the whole game way more atmospheric.”
