Name of the game "Daltonista" means colourblind in Polish.

All art is in monochrome and the goal of the game is to open the door. To do so, you have to find a black and white blob of colour that will let you see ONE more colour in this world. You have to find all the blobs to open the final doors!

Every time you gather a blob of colour, there is a trap in that colour activating, that you need to avoid in a certain way. With every colourful blob you're closer to finding the one that opens the door, but also it triggers more traps.

Our Main character is named Cluster (cuz they will posses a cluster of colours in the end)

I've been seeing this in the front page a lot, can't wait to play it, I'll save it :3

Love the camera movement and overall graphics! Good work

I can only play version 1.00, the other ones produce an unknown format error :/

NabilAtSoulcade5 Dec 2017, 13:29

The gameplay pacing is a little slow but I really like the graphics and the concept.

@strelly thank you ! It's playable now !!!

Ah!! I was so frustrated at the start, but i guess I am a bad gamer. Anyway As i played i got used to it and got better. Loved the art! The character is done well and so are the obstacles. My only suggestion would be - i guess it would have been better if the camera would pan along with the player rather than panning while he stops. As this would make difference, cuz i can see the obstacle ahead as I move and play accordingly.
Anyway good job and I had fun, All the best :)
Pls feel free to rate and play my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/split

Really like the Graphics and the concept! Great work!

I did it \o/
Very frustating and harder at the begening. Nice graphics.

Plz, change the player collider with rect one and not cylender. Some time my foot are one the floor but impossible to move.

Great work !

Popey735 Dec 2017, 20:32

There is no start menu on the 1.02.

Nivbeth5 Dec 2017, 20:46

I think the game needs much more improvements as the model is too big for the area. You could also insert possibilites to crouch. Me and my friend got frustrated very quickly! :/
But on the plus side the graphics are pretty nice and the sound is fitting very well :) All in all nice job!

The game is WAAAAAAAY to hard! But also really good. :) The name is really intreasting... why in Polish? You are from Poland? Good entry, Good luck ;)

GameDevMuminauthor6 Dec 2017, 15:09

@falak Yes, we are from Poland :D Thank you for opinion! That was awesome experience to take part in Ludum Dare for first time :D And now I entered your profile and what I see? Jesteś z Polski :D

falak6 Dec 2017, 15:17

@GameDevMumin Tak jestem. Bardzo miło poznać :) od dłuższego czasu jak patrzyłem na updaty waszej pracy zastanawiało mnie czemu daltonista. Fajnie spotkać rodaków na tak sporym wydarzeniu. Powodzenia w podbijaniu ludumdaare. Ciesze się że podoba wam się ten event ja wkręciłem się jakoś dwa lata temu ,i tak to uczucie adrenaliny jest przy kazdej edycji

Graphic is nice, but the game is way to heavy. I have a filling that some collision boxes are to big, and I sometimes i died and not know what killed me.
Other thing that bothered me was that there were no death animations or anything, just instant respawn.

imod7 Dec 2017, 18:13

It is very hard game :) I very like animations and character, looks realy good.

azuredraco7 Dec 2017, 18:50

Woha, you did it!

For simple "platformer" this was very enjoyable. The graphics made the game stand out very well!

I was hoping that the exteriors would have gotten slowly colored when you picked up the colors but till the end they remained colorless.

GameDevMuminauthor7 Dec 2017, 18:59

@azuredraco Yes, we wanted to do that. Here was a bit other concept, but time was not on our side. We wanted to be four levels there, with one blob on every. You could go to rooms in any order but after collecting blob one type of trap would appear on every level. So, there wouldn't be any traps on first level until you took the blob at the end. So, the last level would have 4 types of traps. Experience would depend on the order of levels you have chosen :D

gassasin7 Dec 2017, 21:12

Love the artstyle. You should add some kind of warning when enemies will spawn like this bubbles. Nice game!

PixelFormedStudios7 Dec 2017, 21:14

Very nice graphics and challenging gameplay. Sounds would have been nice but overall a pretty good entry.

Nathalia Hohl7 Dec 2017, 21:43

The graphics are good, as well as the idea as described. The problem is the gameplay itself. The character is well too big and its SOOOOO frustrating. Everything seems harder than it should be.
Good work, nonetheless. Keep improving and kudos for the art.

Hisfantor7 Dec 2017, 22:41

pretty nice art style but this dude is too fucking huge :D

uchiro8 Dec 2017, 10:33

Wery hard game with beautiful art. I liked follow you during the LD.

I really wanted to go beyond the 2 checkpoints, but I could not. Can you make a walkthrough video?

I hope in the future it will become easier and I will be able to play it. :smile_cat:

Ok, I played version 1.0.0 so you are probably aware and maybe fixed the bugs in that. But my game was ended when I felt into a hole and I was allowed to see the entire level by simply moving to the sides. I am a cheater I know!

The game was very hard for me, I think that the matter that the character was too tall and the jump takes you to the roof make it very hard to avoid some of the traps. I think I would play around a bit with the jumping variables.

Nice accomplishment for the jam! Congrats!

GameDevMuminauthor10 Dec 2017, 16:18

@jlreymendez thank you! The thing with not dying when falling into holes was the first i fixed in version 1.01 :D

CallumLTurner19 Dec 2017, 22:26

Love the theme and the art style, the gameplay has potential but I found it pretty difficult with some of the early platforming involving really precise jumps, probably my own lack of skills more than anything though :P. Great job!
