Solid puzzle platformer with one very tricky achievement. Nice job!1 found this helpful
Pretty solid.
Игра "Color Phase" - это приятная головоломка, затягивающая своей простотой концепции и растущей сложностью. Идея смены цветовых фаз для прохождения уровней свежа и заставляет думать, как использовать окружение в своих интересах. Визуальный стиль минималистичен, но приятен глазу, а спокой
"Color Phase" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from Arizona State University in the Americas. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. This semester the students banged out a low quality 3D platformer with a grapple swing mechanism and puzzle platforming orientated around the characters colours. This game is fairly dated at 5 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. …

Cute fun game with a solid idea behind it. Unfortunately it controls pretty poorly and isn't optimized great. Pretty bad camera and you can clip through gates at times(thankfully you just re-select level and it fixes it). for a free to play puzzle plat-former, it definitely isn't the best one I've played but it's far from the worst. If you're bored and want to kill some time it's worth of your time.
