Colorful
A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android
Originally made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 25 (December 2012), Colorful is a simple game where the player moves freely around a 2D world, fighting mutliple enemies. The goal is to collect 8 colour artifacts and bring them back to the main hero's love.
Game mechanic is based on 20x20 tile rooms, in which both you and your enemies can move freely in all directions (no gravity). However, you can only shoot left and right. When you locate a colour artifact, you have to pick it up and carry it back to the center of the map. Should you die, the artifact returns back to where you picked it - but apart from that, you will never lose any progress. The game features a 7x7 room world, with a small 3x3 tutorial.

So, I have no idea if you read content and such, just made a itch. Io account but, I want to say, this game genuinelly helped me deal with stress, it also oddly made me cry due to how simple but, calming it is? It sounds weird but, unironically playing this game while stressed helped, thank you, and cool game!
(This entire matter happened half an hour ago-)
I’m glad you liked it. Just today the game had a long awaited update. Enjoy!
Alrighty!!
