Fabulous, fabulous! This is just what I was talking about. I would pay for this!

First screen is fantastic!

The second one is less great because it looks like the texture quality isn't as good as in screen 1. But still better than the old black and white style.

Btw. the water effect is amazing!!!

Woooooooooooooo YEeeeeeee....SSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Fantastic, the next big Killer game on Steam !

(I repeated lot of times one of the fisrts version with colors was wonderfull , less sad )

I agree that in second screen ,you should choose like in the first some sort of color theme :
like RED : lava, Rocks with a little red tint for Blocks , or/and Yellow with red soft tint ?
Very Green and very red are too much opposed
And red lava should throw some red emissive color to the rest of the level ? Anyway amazing now !

I'll do a paintover if i have time !

Now we need a new video

Agree with all this, i think what you should do is add a detail layer to all walkable surfaces like how you did with the grass, you could add stones atop the rock layer, hope you get what i mean, other than that, looks great

[quote=Superku]Thanks again for the feedback!
Level editor is planned, but probably not for the first release. Story is existent but more practical than deep.

I've already implemented that I can change the whole color scheme dynamically, so water levels can have a blue, boss fights a menacing red tint and so on.
There will be 4+ levels that have a different look and a few bonus levels in color, but I guess that's not enough.

it'd be cool to change this based on your location in the level as well, that way its got even more variance

Am not sure his new direction will still do the color changing scheme, though i could be wrong, i just dont see color filters as being practical anymore

Or he can keep actual colors, it's really ok , and lot more better than Grey colors !

Thank you all, I'm glad you like it.
Yes, water/ lava is a vertex & pixel shader. There's still a fullscreen tint active but I will probably only change it for bossfights, lostclimates's idea is nice, though. There may be a level where you have to adjust the tint (with switches) to pass certain areas, let's see how that will work out.

EDIT: The detail layer for the walkable area sounds nice, however all levels are already designed in a way that you can easily distinguish the 3 layers foreground I (walkable), foreground II (unreachable, 1/2 color saturation) and background.

Haha. An update:
I've improved the movement, in particular you can now combine vertical wallruns with all other moves, and I've switched the control scheme from two to three buttons. Additionally, I've worked on the jetpack:



It's now fuel based and you have more control than before. Now there is a long range attack, too (you don't have jetpack & attack at the beginning of the game), that really expands the gameplay possibilities, you can see it in the new video:
