Palette is a game about colors. It's a cross between puzzle and parkour games.
Instructions: WASD to move, R to reset if you get stuck. You get around by "linking" to colors. When you are linked to a color you can pass through it, and any colors related to it. For instance when you're linked to red, you can pass through red, orange and purple squares. Any tiles not related to your linked color are solid and can be walked across. Your goal is to get to the white squares in the middle. I'll let you figure out the rest.
Made in Java, so should work on basically any computer, all code and graphics made by me. To play, just download the zip, extract it, and run the Run.bat. Source code is also in the zip.
Note: There is a bug in the game which I haven't been able to target yet. When you run the game, a good amount of the time it will just show a blank window. If this happens, just close it and try again, and again, until it works. And it WILL work, I tested it. I just may take a while to get it to happen. It seems to be having problems loading the level save file, which I'm really not sure how to fix at the moment.
@ChrisMingay thanks for trying to try it! And, like I said in the main post, that happens a lot of the time. If you keep on running it though it will work eventually.$
@Igor KinGamer Ha ha ha, there are two "resource" folders. One is useless and I just never deleted it. The other is in the "code" folder, that one has all the stuff in it.
The game wouldn't run for me on linux. I ran "java com/kalman98/Main". It would load up the JFrame and put a picture akin to the screenshot you have, but it wouldn't do anything past that. I might look into the code and see if I can get it to run :D
My mistake, it runs just fine. The only problem was that half of the time it wouldn't load the JPanel for some reason. It's probably a glitchy Linux thing though. Looks good so far.
