Koloro
If I see more of Koloro, I hope it’s in smaller doses. Having co-op as an option for all of the levels would further increase appeal. The Nintendo Switch has many puzzle platformers, so Koloro might be one for fans to wish list. Content isn’t an issue here though, as there’s plenty to play so long as your interest is held. Just be prepared for a bloated, largely linear, and often tough go at it.

Reviews
- Unique one-button control scheme that transforms simple input into challenging and satisfying puzzle-platformer gameplay.
- Large amount of content with over 100 solo levels and 50 co-op levels, plus multiple difficulty modes and optional time challenges provide strong replay value.
- Atmospheric presentation featuring clean, colorful visuals and a calming ambient electronic soundtrack that complements the gameplay tone.
- Boss fights are frustrating and feel out of place due to unpredictable patterns and lack of player control, breaking the otherwise pattern-based gameplay.
- High difficulty level with instant death and limited margin for error can be punishing and may deter less skilled or patient players.
- Story is minimal and vague, contributing little to the experience; some animations and visual polish in cutscenes feel clunky or underdeveloped.
story
13 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in the game is minimal and vague, with sparse dialogue and occasional grammatical issues, serving more as a backdrop than a central focus. It features some branching elements and a parallel co-op narrative involving sisters, but overall, the plot is open to interpretation and not essential to the gameplay experience.
“There is also a parallel co-op story that involves both sisters.”
“An interesting thing about Koloro is that some levels will have multiple exits and the story progression will branch out depending on what exit you choose.”
“There may be a deeper story regarding her sister, despite sparse dialogue and occasional grammar issues.”
“Starts off very abruptly and then you get almost no story until you reach the final boss.”
“Mainly because there's no story writer among the three talented guys who made this game.”
“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.”

60%Koloro
Koloro is a simple little puzzle platformer that can help you while away a few hours – especially if you’re in one of those moods where absolutely nothing looks appealing. But despite some cleverly designed levels, pleasant hand drawn backgrounds and chill lo-fi inspired soundtrack, I found that things got stale long before I reached the end. Whether it was the sheer volume of levels to get through, the slow pace of the autorun mechanics or just the general lack of variation, Koloro is best enjoyed a few levels at a time before moving onto something with a little more substance.
