Vibrant! The color game
This is my first game jam, so I’m excited and a little nervous to share my work!
This game is about my experience with color blindness.
Growing up, I always felt like I was missing out on autumn. I couldn’t really see the beauty of the leaves changing color. That’s why I made this short, cozy platformer where you help Pumpkin see autumn's full, vibrant glory!
I hope you enjoy the game! I’m open to any constructive feedback.
Thanks for playing!
P.S.
BTW if you replay after you finish the game, you get to see the full color range from the start.

I loved it, I love pico 8 and it’s perfect, the sounds, the mechanics, the message
Thank you!
The creativity is mesmerizing. We have a little game with 4 small screens that don’t even have paralax or complex textures. We have the simplest mechanics: walk and jump. Simple colors. No music except for level transition.
And yet, this is not just a case of less is more. It’s the power of making something small and well-scoped and telling a beautiful story that hasn’t been told before, and very creatively.
The mechanics of the colors missing and us needing to restore them makes us appreciate much more when they actually appear. And the little captions shared by our pumpkin character make it the more endearing and invite us to appreciate it even more.
Thank you for making something so beautiful. I have no doubt that your mind is full of original games and experiences that I will want to play.
Thanks you for such a beautiful comment! I didn’t expect my little game to receive such long, thoughtful words. I always struggled to finish my projects because i wanted to add too many fancy features and drowned in a flood of half-baked mechanics . Now that I have a grasp on scaling, i feel like I’m better equipped to handle projects like this. Thank you again for the sweet comment!
