About The Search for a Colour Palette

As you come home from a long journey to see your son once more, you discover he is gone. A castle has been presumably summoned from thin air and it has a dark, gloomy presence to it. With this castle appearing, all the colours also disappeared, leaving everything looking lifeless. You hear a woman's voice in your head, beckoning you toward the castle. After grabbing your ancient shield and trusty boomerang you go towards an adventure that you simply don't know how will end. All you know is that you are going to save your son, no matter what it takes.

Gameplay:
The Search for a Colour Palette (TSFACP) has 7 levels in total, each ending with a boss at the end. Inspired by the classic Castlevania games from the 80's, you have to fight your way through monsters, unknown creatures, and beasts in order to get to your final destination: the castle.

At your disposal you have a boomerang that you can throw and also hover in the air with, knives you can pick up throughout the levels and throw at enemies for additional damage, and a holy shield with which you can block damage and jump on top of enemies. You also gain experience from killing enemies, making you even stronger...be careful not to kill too many though. Use all of these tools to your advantage, because there are some platforming challenges to be had in your adventure!

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's stunning visuals, excellent soundtrack, and well-designed difficulty that constantly introduces new enemy types and mechanics to keep gameplay fresh. However, the lack of checkpoints is a major frustration point, though some acknowledge it contributes to the intended challenging experience that demands significant patience and skill.

Recommended Oct 29, 2023
Very nice looking game that is extremely challenging and meant for those with high patience. The soundtrack is amazing and there is a extremely large variety of enemies and mechanics to where you have to learn something new every step. The lack of check points is frustrating but a necessary part of the difficulty of the game. The story is not too complex to understand so far, as of writing this I am only 1 hour in.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
