Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope: 240 points

Enter the world of Kaleidoscope, a once richly colourful world that has fallen into disaster, stripped of all colour that once made it beautiful. You play as Tint, one of the residents that has chosen to remain the planet and help the wise men return colour to your home.
The game is simplistically beautiful, being a 2D side-scroller, and only gets more lovely with each colour orb little Tint finds spread throughout the game. Special powers are blessed with 3 colour orbs in the upper left: blue, yellow and red, which correspond with the X, Y and B buttons on the controller. Blue grants you the ability to run faster and push boulders into golems more quickly. Yellow allows you to float for a period of time to get to previously unobtainable ledges. Red forms a red bubble around Tint, giving him protection from certain projectiles. The A button is left simply for jumping and double-jumping.
The background music is quite simple, but soothing and not overbearing to the gameplay. Nothing great, but it's really not too bad.
I've always had a penchant for indie games, as they usually stray from the normal and show just how creative and beautiful games can really be.
