Roy, Gee, Biv by LTPATS

made by LTPATS for LD30 (COMPO)

Note: Lonely Troll Productions and A Thorny Succulent are both me.

Controls:

~ wasd or arrows to move

~ space or control to jump

~ left click or e to use objects

~ shift to change characters

How to Play:

Move characters though their corresponding one-way doors to open them. Each charater has their own ability. Beat the game to break it.

Known Bugs:
There is a way to cheat some of the doors open. There are some minor clipping issues.

Developer Notes:
The game can be pretty disorienting at times, this is a bit intentional. Beating the game allows something special to happen. Experiment and have fun!

Haha, what the fuck am I doing? :O Haha, this is so very confusing and disorienting, and yet enjoyable! Took a while to understand what was going on! I like it though, great work!

I don't get it :D I'm a noob. Yeah the sound is really unique and the color of this bubble are cool... Maybe I'll check it out after a break... tagged it with mysterious entry :D

This is absolutely bizarre. I like the idea of the "Lost Vikings" style of switching between characters. I got lost at some point without any landmarks, though.

Great idea with the whole colour coordinated thing. I really like the wackiness of it, makes things a lot more interesting. Even the strange melodies had a certain charm. I'm not sure if the game is supposed to end, but I assume the game is "finished" when you get to the colourful particles outside the map?

Hehe, okay this is really trippy. I seemed to make some progress before I had absolutely no idea what was going on or where I was. The character switching is novel, but it was really confusing :)

I kept walking for a while but never find what I was supposed to do... I was always blocked at some point :/.

I liked the mood and sounds more than the gameplay itself.

Was a good bit of fun, after I figured things out :P
An interesting concept; could be refined into a good puzzler.

Wow that was a disturbing and interesting experience.

Thanks for all the great feedback! Just to clarity, yes the end is after you get to the location in the main screenshot. When the characters enter the circle together, they share their abilities with each other so each character can do the same thing the others could do.

After this, the characters can fly out or use the red jumpy air things to exit the play area into the giant particle party room that kinda looks like it has eyes.

There are some reasons I decided to end the game this way, so I'll probably go over that in the post-mortem.

Thanks again for the comments!

At first I was confused. Then I got more confused. Maybe if the gameplay was more evident this could be better. I like the particle effects and the sounds :)

Please try to flesh out the game mechanics ;-)

At the eginning it is a bit hard to understand but after some experimenting things become perfectly clear, I like that a lot. The game was fun and not too easy which also fits my tastes. Nice job!

Great atmosphere. It was definitely confusing like other said, and I almost ran out of patience before I started seeing some progress. It was interesting!
