Color Jumper is a running and jumping game where you control a square. Each side of the square has a different colour and rotates each time you jump. To get through a level you can only use platforms that are white or match your current colour. This creates a novel puzzle and skill challenge that is intentionally difficult.
Accessibility Notes
There are no difficulty settings, although you can skip levels if you are stuck. Although you can't remap the controls you can use either the Left stick or D-pad to control movement, and any of the face buttons to control jumping.
The art style is intentionally bright and high contrast. You can turn off the ghosts that represent previous runs, if they are distracting.
