Rainbow Rebel

Nice platformer! I included it in my GM48: Colors are Important compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/BEHqR0Z-UhM

The platforming in this game is top notch. Plenty of content, areas, abilities all done with a really nice artistic style and soundtrack. My only issue is that it didn't seem to run at a high enough frame rate to match my monitor refresh so I was getting some tearing. As a full screen game this would benefit nicely from running a bit faster to give it a touch more smoothness. I don't really have any other critiques, really solid entry, well done!

EDIT: To your reply. Look into 'delta time' and aim for 144fps. You game will easily run at that speed and if delta time is used, even low end machines will play it smoothly.

Just finished the game and got to the credits screen at the end. Tero mentioned that the level design needed improvement but In my opinion the level design is Rainbow Rebel's greatest strength. The levels did a great job of building up tension between checkpoints and created a satisfying loop of challenge and accomplishment. The game introduced new abilities and mechanics the whole way through which were fun to learn and master. Even some successful published games like Dead Cells fail to implement or even understand these fundamental concepts that were demonstrated in Rainbow Rebel.

I found the game to be charming in a meta kind of way, overall great job!

I played the game, I waited boss battle in the end to not see one :( Maybe something, like releasing all the colors from big vases back to the world indicating game finished and quest being completed. Music was nice, but the sound effects were off. Controlling player was okay, but the gameplay didn't feel that good because of the level design, bit too much avoiding the falling down. I noticed in the beginning of the game, and liked, that ground tiles started to disappear further away I went. The graphics were bit simplistic. In next jam, try improve upon level design, which plays big role how player feels about the game. Overall your entry wasn't bad, but can be improved upon.

Frame rate problems, sound doesn't play on fireball hit, it plays after. Hard to understand the mechanics (you can stand on spikes for some duration only?).
