Color Souls

great fun

Color Souls is a platformer, where you playing as a colorful goo, which can sprinkle color inks anywhere when it's jump. Your objective is to reach the portal at the end of the levels and also defeat enemies and bosses. The game's characters looks adorable and sometimes quite scary. They really put effort into them. The painting mechanic is useful and good looking in general. You can play the game easily, you only need the direction keys for moving and space for jumping. The music is all right, but I expected maybe more tracks to listen to. However, for me the game felt a bit short and after 25 levels, I started to lose interest, because you won't do anything else, then what I described previously. I think the devs could have expanded this idea more, also they could have add some lore to it maybe. The controls are slidey, the character won't stop when you release the movement key, and also the falling speed is quite fast in general, meaning platforming is challenging because of these. Also, if you have lot of ink particles on the screen, the game doesn't take it lightly, meaning it will lag a bit. To be honest, as a small indie game, with a cheap price tag, it's perfectly fine and you can have some fun for a few hours, however I feel that the devs could have made something bigger and better. All in all, I can recommend this game, if you don't have too much time to play and you want to try a new platformer, but wait for sale to get, maximum for 2€.
