Software used
Unity 6 (URP) + Aseprite for the pixel art + Claude Code (Anthropic) as a coding assistant. No generative AI was used for any asset: all art is hand-drawn pixel art in Aseprite, and all 17 sound effects are synthesised at runtime in code (oscillators + envelopes) — there are no audio files in the project. Font: Press Start 2P, Google Fonts, OFL.

Use of the limitation
The game has only 3 colors (white, black, and red)

I actually really enjoyed this game with its super unique gameplay. It was a fun challenge at all moments, I also beat the whole thing. The only thing that I will say is that the little bit of dripping powder when you jump feels really unforgiving with how random it spawns. Great game!

Hi Raddish! I'm very happy that you liked it, and thanks for the feedback! Yes, gotta think better about this powder while jumping. I thought that not dropping while jumping would make it easier to cut the trail, and because the level is small, players can play multiple times, but yes, maybe it is unfair haha. I'll be improving the mechanics and adding more levels later.  Thanks for the feedback!

Nice simple puzzles good use of the limitation and movement was smooth. Ill admit I died a couple times from trying to jump with space. 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, 22PStudio! It is very important to improve it!
I'll have a look at it. Did you mean you would jump better with another key on the keyboard or a mouse click?
Thank you!

Most games use space for jump so it becomes an instinct to use space. Having the fire using up that key when its already mapped for the mouse is a bit redundant and makes it so that gamer instinct works against us.

Loved everything about it, really nice game! The concept itself is really unique, and the artwork really sells it to me. Love the pixel art!

I really liked the concept of the game; I set myself on fire a few times because I tried to jump with the spacebar instead of W. But once I got the hang of it, it was fine, congratulations.

Took some time to understand the 6th level but after it completed the game pretty easily. The game is great, I liked it a lot!

Thanks for the feedback, Verianno! Yes, I didn´t have much time on this jam, so the level design isn't good enough yet. I'll work on updating and adding new levels.
