About Monochrome Heights

A world devastated by past wars is threatened once again. When a former comrade asks for help, Happy the Robot reluctantly agrees to face Layla — once a friend, now a dangerous enemy they thought they had destroyed. The mission: ascend Layla’s tower and destroy the last copy of her consciousness before she can be downloaded into a new body and enact her devious plan.
Monochrome Heights is a tough-as-nails 2D platformer featuring classic run, jump, and slide mechanics — but most importantly, a distinctive color-swapping mechanic that involves phasing between black and white platforms to climb the tower. With crisp pixel art and a modern retro-style experience, the game is inspired by early Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man titles.

Features:
  • Traditional tough-as-nails platforming meets a novel phase mechanic where players must swap between black and white to avoid hazards and land on platforms.
  • Tight, simple controls that allow players to blaze forward with speed and momentum, or take it slow and patiently progress.
  • A narrative-focused, single-player story mode chock full of brain-breaking platforming.
  • Hand-drawn character portraits during dialogue that compliment the crisp pixel art.
  • An original music score by Bent Neatly that drives players forward during intense gameplay and provides a relaxing backdrop for story moments.
  • Robots. Lots of robots.

This is a great game! Tight jumps, very precise, a great platform game for the challenge. And the twist of phasing is amazing.

Monochrome Heights is a platformer with personality. The art, the music, the gameplay and the story all move in sync, delivering an exceptional experience. It's a damn fun game, even when it's real damn hard. Definitely worth checking out this one, especially if you love clever mechanics and solid storytelling. Highly recommended!

Super fun and challenging game. The phasing mechanic is unique and requires a ton of focus and timing to get down. Each zone pushes you to the limits by introducing new mechanics along with harder platforming challenges. Music is great and the art is cute. I don't always expect a riveting story in challenging platformers like this but it really goes for it. Great game, check it out!

Platformers are not the main type of games I play (usually i'm more for rpgs/adventure games/narrative games) but from time to time some games from this genre just clicks with me and Monochrome Heights is one of those! The phasing mechanic is really an interesting (and challenging at the later levels! The whole game can be hard at times but when you lock in the flow of the game it's really satisfying) gameplay that keeps the game fresh and interesting; the graphic and aestethic of the game is really nice and pleasant and even the plot (which usually is not the strongest part of a platformer) is nice to follow and interesting (helps that it's about robots!). Definitely a game worth playing, check it out!

Color swapping precision stress. My brain can't take the constant switching colors and I at some points died multiple times in a row because I hit button when I shouldn't have hit button. Smooth platforming meetings quick thinking brain puzzles. It's simple yet effect in it's goal to provide an experience that I would liken to Celeste and other precision platformers. There is a story of humankind's destruction but the core gameplay is jumping and failing. Great game to get stressed out to.
