Wonderful little game. Would enjoy this being extended even :)
If you don't mind sharing, how did you create the coloring effect? Is it a custom shader?

In Muldeun, warmth is color. The world has gone gray and cold, and painting it is how you keep warm. Standing in the gray slowly shortens the child's red scarf, and when it runs out the stage starts over. Paint fades after a couple of seconds, so you have to keep painting just to stay warm. The footholds work the same way: ivy, leaves and clouds only hold you while they're warm. You finish each stage by warming the cold heart of the forest.

Yes, a fairly simple custom shader. A full-screen ColorRect on a CanvasLayer above the background draws both the gray and the colored areas. An autoload script keeps a low-res mask of the whole world that records what's been colored (by the wand, the stone lanterns, restored areas), uploads it as a texture every frame, and the shader samples it at each pixel's world position.

I also experienced lag during web testing, but maybe it wasn't enough even after some optimization... Still, thank you for playing!

I agree. Once I finished making the core parts of the game, I didn't want to do any more work. ToT
