About Mandew vs the Colorless Curse

✦ AI summary

Run and jump through colorless worlds as Mandew, dodging obstacles, collecting power-ups, and battling bosses across frantic factories, deserts, and bamboo forests to escape a monochrome pocket dimension. Hunt for secrets to boost your score and tackle the game's three distinct modes—Story, Trial, and Race—with full gamepad support included.

Originally released in 2012, Mandew vs the Colorless Curse has found a new home on Steam! Run and jump through 17 not-at-all-full color stages on an adventure to help Mandew escape this monochrome pocket dimension! Dodge obstacles, collect power-ups and defeat enemies! Keep an eye out as most levels contain a myriad of secrets to boost your score. Supports keyboard and xinput gamepads.

Fight your way through frantic factories, destitute deserts and belligerent bamboo forests as you progress through the game's four worlds. Go from level to level, experiencing the plot unfold in Story mode, retry completed stages in Trial mode or go through the entire game in one sitting for the best time in Race mode! Experiment with different power ups and find what each world's boss is weak against.

"The Mandew vs series (starring my good friend and fellow programmer, Mandew himself) has always been very personal projects designed first and foremost for my close friends to enjoy, long before I had considered making video games for a living. Like many of my earlier titles, its a little rough around the edges, but I sincerely hope you enjoy this wacky foray into a place close to my heart. The ribcage."
-Syaxamaphone, Programmer & Designer

Mandew vs the Colorless Curse is the 7th game produced under Suits & Sandals and the second game in the Mandew vs series.

A short-and-sweet mishmash of Gameboy-era platformers, mostly Mario Land, but there's some Kirby and Megaman influence as well in level design! At first the level design seemed solid, but really plain, but the game picks up a lot from World 2 onwards, making use of mechanics that are more uncommon in this sort game such as long chains of jumping on midair enemies, hazardous platforms, vertical design, etc. Every level becomes both a reference and expansion of some of the best platforming tropes Difficulty also picks up a bit, its certainly harder than the average game from that era but I don't see it as a problem when levels are so compact and so few, might be a problem if you aren't used to this sort of format, Overall really enjoyed my time

Very fun Gameboy inspired platformer. Initially I felt this game was too easy but it manages to get fairly challenging in the later levels.

Игра 'Mandew vs the Colorless Curse' - это очаровательный инди-платформер, который поражает своей пиксельной графикой и ретро-шармом. Управление простое, но отзывчивое, что позволяет легко освоить движения главного героя, Мандью. Сюжет, хоть и незамысловатый, о проклятии, лишившем мир цвета, цепляет своей добротой и юмором. Разнообразие уровней приятно удивляет. Каждый мир имеет свою уникальную цветовую палитру (когда она есть!) и предлагает новые механики, требующие стратегического мышления и ловкости. Монстры милые, но представляют собой достойную задачу, особенно в конце каждого уровня, где вас ждут харизматичные боссы. Музыкальное сопровождение отлично дополняет атмосферу игры, возвращая в золотую эпоху 8-битных аркад. "Mandew vs the Colorless Curse" – это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет короткий, но запоминающийся платформер с приятной графикой и увлекательным геймплеем. Не самая сложная, но определенно приятная игра для расслабления на пару часов.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
