Description

ChromaGun is a first person puzzler about colors. The basic principle is as easy as applying it is complex: Exit the chambers via the exit doors. Use the ChromaGun to colorize walls and WorkerDroids to progress in the chambers. WorkerDroids (the players’ main cause of headaches in ChromaGun) are attracted to walls of the same color and can be used for a variety of tasks like opening doors, activating triggers or removing the danger of deadly electrified floor-tiles by mercilessly sacrificing them. ChromaGun encompasses eight chapters of mind-melting puzzles and witty background-narrative.

History

ChromaGun was our very first large-scale game, before only having developed mobile games and apps. The initial idea of ChromaGun was developed during game jam Ludum Dare 32 and was created in only three days. Ever since, we've improved on the concept to deliver the game we're now publishing to steam. The first updated version of ChromaGun was released on iOS and generated massive positive feedback, including an article on Gamezebo, a mention in a German tech magazine and even on television. After publishing the idea on Greenlight, we expected to be waiting for months. The Game was greenlit in only two weeks. Since Ludum Dare in April 2015, every single model, texture and script in the game was updated. We rebuilt the game from the ground up, added a narrative and refined and polished every single aspect of it. With the anniversary update released in March 2017, a map editor and a new graphics system were added to the Steam version. The anniversary update is the version available on consoles (except for the map editor, which is exclusive to Steam).
