December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
Through a horrible accident all your friends have been scattered among different color channels that lay behind the rainbow forest.
Only you can rescue them!
Fasten your mushroom hat and get ready to jump from Red to Green to Blue to find your friends. But be careful not all sweets are made of sugar.
Move: Arrow keys
Jump: Space
Change channel: Ctrl
This was tough, we just "finished" in time. BUt we also had really a lot of fun and a lot of learnings.
The tools we used:
Unity (using Marmoset shaders)
3DS Max
Photoshop
We hope you will enjoy our little game
Fred, Tanja, Olaf, B0rje, Peer and Becky :)

Graphics are awesome! Controls were a little slippery though.
Good Job! "Look" looks great, would have liked bidirectional color shift control.
Very polished graphics (good shaders), cute character design and it's nice well done platformer! :)
didnt expect this, looking really nice. Love the RGB switching (and the extra effort put in the background of your weblink!) Great work guys! Reminded me of Giana Sisters and Trine combined in a world of care bears, my favourite so far!
Loved the graphics! Gameplay reminded me a lot of Giana Sisters :D
Very nice use of the theme. Greetings from your neighbourhood ;)
Well! This is thing of lovelines, isn't it? <3
Would've preferred UP as an alternative to SPACE for jump?
Beautiful game, the level design and the mechanic is interesting, but jump are a bit frustrating for me . very nice game.
Great mechanics, even though it requires some leaps of faith, most of them made sense and the game was forgiving enough to allow for missing when switching colors. Some of the 45 degree slopes where a bit hard to move and jump on, but that's fine tuning stuff. Great work for a LD! Very polished.
This is a beautiful game; great art! I got stuck in the terrain a LOT, though, and a really brief tutorial on switching colors in the first level would not have been amiss.
Interesting platformer, the cupcakes being hidden with different colors and requiring climbing to certain places multiple times to get them all made them very annoying to collect. Had some issues with input lag while playing and also sometimes the character did not pick up cupcakes. Quite annoying that you can get hit by switching into an enemy or an obstacle. There should be some way to see where things in the other colors are.
Interesting mechanic, but not seeing where the enemies are makes switching really hard. Love the art too!
Awesomesauce! The graphics is totally amazing, the colour switching is amusing, although it doesn't seem to correlate with the theme much. Very well done!
Great graphic and concept! I have a little problem with web version. There is no vertical scroll and I do not see bottom part of game screen. (firefox)
I like the graphics and sound! The seperation of "world" like parallels worlds is impresionnant!
Good concept, great execution!I would prefer a different control layout.
AMAZING graphics! The platforming controller could use some work. Makes some of the moving around a little difficult. Some sound feedback for picking up the cakes would be nice too :)
That's a beautiful game! Very polished!
Nice idea about the color channel.
Its a good base for a game. On my wishlist would be: more sounds (jumping bonusses getting hit). A bit more difficulty in level design (I could get to the end without trying very hard and sometimes you got a bit stuck between the scenery).
A little tweaking on the movement: if you have to jump on a ledge you can't see when you start to jump, it can be annoying if you slide of the edge because you're a slippery toadstool.
I agree that a background behind the unity web player is nice touch!
Stunning graphics! Characters are so cute :-)
Jump is a bit buggy sometimes. Music is fine, the game just lacks a few sound fx.
Very well done overall!
Like was said, remembered me a lot too of giana sisters.
The graphics are very amazing and vivid.
Change worlds is very smooth, but somethings are confusing, like I didn't know that a rock was actually a trampolin for example, but it is understandable for the time that you guys had.
Great job!
I really like games about switching colors... XD
And the graphics are really cute! Though... I found the backgrounds somewhat lacking... =/
Nice concept and cute graphics. I found the jumping a bit frustrating but that could be easily tuned.
The web version didn't fit on my 13" laptop screen and there's no scrollbar so I hack to change the css to be able to play :/
Whoooa this is one of the best games on this Ludum Dare ;3
Pretty graphics, idea and soundtrack. Good gameplay too ! ;)
This is a really cool concept. You can skip all the cupcakes and rush to the end though, which is kind of lame. Still, this is grade A stuff.
Great use of the theme, loved the color switching. The graphics were really good (especially given the time frame)! The controls and movement felt a bit clunky, but the game was so darn pretty and appealing that I didn't really mind. This has a lot of potential and looks like it could be a commercial game with a bit of polish!
Great use of ease tweeners and colours, you should try to use morphing for some elements also.
Nifty. Very pretty game. The jump pads seemed to provide a different force with each bounce, which was a little strange. Overall, it was a really cohesive, connected, solid experience.
Consider adding a standalone Linux build, since there's no webplayer for Linux.
wow, really awesome work here! i love the color shifting mechanic and could see this extended and made into an awesome mobile game.
I like the concept and the graphics very much. But the level design needs some work, the first two levels are much too easy. And some sound effects for jumping and collecting of things would have been nice. One thing I didn't like is the required screen size, I have only 768 pixel, so I had to change the css to enjoy your game. I hope you will work further on the game, because it's really good.
Cool idea and the aesthetics, although some platform mechanics (the bouncing platforms for example) could use some more refinement.
I feel like the mushroom should have changed colour as well, it would've looked cooler. It's kinda annoying how there's no way to tell what's platforms there will be until you switch.
Also this game really needed sound effects! And was there a reason why the music faded out after a while?
I didn't see the relationship to the theme either though.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Fun game! I love the color switching mechanic!
