Color Souls Reviews

A pretty good platformer. I really like this unique aesthetic and gameplay concept where you can't see the enviroment, so you have to move and jump to splash ink revealing the obstacles and platforms.

Colorful, great bosses, nice soundtrack, good controls, cheap.

Game with very different mechanics. Very challenging, it is necessary to explore calmly so as not to lose. Nice game.

Very unique platformer, really enjoyed the aesthetics and the sound design. Strongly recommended for platformer players.

I do love colorful games and this game is great. Although it makes a reference to the game Ink, its gameplay is different. It's a new experience. If you like games like Ink, you definitely should give this game a try. =)

Charming game with a pleasant art-style. Good gameplay, concepts, etc. A little hard at times and just the perfect length for a one sitting game.

- The death animation is too long This is a big issue for me. It's not that the difficulty is too high, it seemed easy/normal, but in a game where you need to make quick movements and can easily make a mistake, I can see that 4 second animation getting old very quickly as the difficulty ramps up, so I quit while I was ahead. I would rather have no animation at all. - The controls aren't tight They weren't satisfying enough to keep me hooked. I didn't feel like mastering them. If you're touching a wall when you jump, the game will push you outward rather than allowing you to jump upward like normal. Also, there is no restart button. So in the levels with disappearing platforms, you need to deliberately die to have another attempt. - The game lags often It sometimes lagged when there was a big splash. Sometimes a double jump would trigger it or simply nothing at all. It's smooth overall, but this needs to be mentioned. - You die when you touch the edges of the screen. There was a level where I went left from the starting point and was immediately killed because there was no wall. I also used a spring to jump higher and died while touching the ceiling. Keep bottomless pits, but wall-off the areas that will needlessly kill you, or just remove the kill planes. - I was unimpressed by the first boss fight. I continuously jumped in one of the top corners to avoid its attack and waited for the boss to approach me. It may have been a 50% chance which direction it chose to jump in. It would've been better if it followed a pattern and changed direction the moment it reached one side. Maybe I'm being too hard on it, but I think that's because I do enjoy the concept. The gimmick of illuminating your path with splashes of color is great! The game has potential, however as it currently stands, it's just okay and needs work to be good or great.

If you enjoy this game but the sheer difficulty is a bit much for you, Neon Souls by the same dev is a perfect fit. This is great too tho, 6/10

Very interesting game!! Loved the painting mechanic! And the enemies are very interesting and funny hehe My only suggestion would be to make the respawn faster, since I died a lot in the game, it would be good to get back to try again as soon as possible. The wall jump is also a bit awkward, but I got used to it eventually, not sure it should change since it suit the "slippery" mod of the game I think! :3

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€.
