*NOTE* I am not happy with my submission this time round, And i realise how flawed this is as a game, I have turned on anonymous feed back to hopefully grow as a developer. So be honest, but please be helpful with your comments.
Telling me what's wrong is all good and well, but telling me why it is, or what i could do different is even better. I want to grow as a developer. and you guys have a chance to help me do so.
Many thanks
I tried to take the theme a little more seriously this time round, Feeling like i played it safe with STS in December. This time round I decided not only to take the theme as literally as possible, but push that a little further. Your unconventional weapon is Colour, You play as swatch and you possess the ability to manipulate the background colour of the game, If you stand upon a block the colour you have collected, Activating the colour (either Left Arrowkey or Right arrowKey [depending on the screen] That block will vanish, allowing you to progress. Beware there are traps.
swatch is a challenging game, And although there are only two levels to play at the moment, I have supplied two versions of these levels, easy mode, for a nicer ride, and hard, for the extreme.
all art work, coding and music is my own, I had to enter jam due to my poor time keeping skills.
How To play:
*There is a slight amendment to the Controls Screen which i was unable to fix in time. W-Key will scroll through the left most slot, Displaying colours you have attained, S key will scroll through the Right most slot, displaying the colours you have collected. You can mix both slots by pressing the down arrow, Or use each slot on its own by pushing the relevant arrow key (left slot left arrow key).
A few game play hints, Keep moving, The range of Swatches power, reaches far higher then he is, He must be standing on or close to the centre of a block if his weapon is to work.
There are traps, there will be frustration, but I really enjoyed putting this together, and i hope you guys enjoy playing it.
I hope i haven't missed anything.
Oh yeah, please assume that Space = okay or select and Escape = exit ^^
