Chromata

Chromata is a game about experimentation and exploration done in an original way, you don't have control of the movement of the character but rather mix up colors in order to move him in the game world. Red moves the player forward, Blue makes the player jump vertically, pink makes him jump at an angle, green makes the player stomp downwards. Now add to that that you can boost the effects of colors by adding up to four of them in a row, just pick your 10 colors, chose the direction and then watch as your mixture of colors gets auto played to see if you beat the level or not. Can't you already see how many possibilities there are?

This game was made in 48 hours for GameJam+ 2021/2022 under the themes of colors and paints, short and addictive and your kids will love it.

There are two download options:

The 1.0 is the game as it was submitted originally, if you are looking to actually play it I recommend not picking this one as it doesn't really tell the player what to do and may leave you confused and although it's still a complete experience it's left here mostly for it's "historical" value and the 1.1 version is the one I would consider official.

The 1.1 version is an update that restores content that was cut last minute due to time constrains and was already mostly done. (There is still way more content that was cut early on but adding it now just defeats the point of a gamejam)

I originally had the 1.1 version done just a few days after the jam but due to the jam officially running for multiple months due to the multiple stage structure Itch didn't allow me to upload a new file so I uploaded it as soon as they closed the final stages of the jam.

Hope you'll have as much fun playing it as we did making it!
