Color Game

"Color Game" as it's currently named in its Work in Progress state, is my foray into "full on" game development, meaning I want to make everything, including the art and music etc. entirely by myself. With my other project Wild West Racing I bought the graphical assets, used a online-multiplayer plugin which makes writing networking code significantly easier and I plan on buying music and voice lines to fit the theme. 

So what is the game about? It is a 2D Puzzle Platformer, in which your character has the ability to control and alter the world around him, changing the color of his surroundings and their behavior with it. Pressing a button will bring up a color wheel from which to pick your color and upon closing the wheel, the world will color itself in. During playtime the character will unlock more and more colors, until the color wheel has been entirely filled.

Every color will have its effect on the world and its elements. By now, the only colors I implemented are light blue and dark blue. Changing the color will for example make a platform move to a specified location, and upon changing it back to white it will move back. Combining two different tones of blue with two different destinations can already make for some tricky puzzles, you could try it out and see if you can collect all flowers.

As of now there are only 4 levels to the game, as it's still in early development. The game is also lacking any form of story, as to why the character possesses this ability and what his goal or motivation is. That is an aspect I definitely still want to work on but it's not really a priority, as I want the game to remain relatively cryptic and I feel like a complicated or overloaded story does not fit into this platformer puzzle type game.
