Though the days of point-and-click adventure games have long since passed, being abandoned in lieu of sleek graphics, relentless action, and other typical qualities of large-scale games, in the indie market, they are quite alive and thriving, if not in a different form. Coloropus is one such variety of adventure game, and though it stumbles a bit along the way, the peculiar blend of color puzzles, adventuring, and mouse-based movement makes for a charming game that is well worth your money.
"Pigsels Media’s Coloropus, at it’s most basic, is a story about a young male octopus who has to save his beloved (who has a knack for getting snatched away). Think of it like a puzzle/adventure Mario and you get the idea.
If you look deeper though, you’ll find a fairly challenging, fun, and unique puzzle-adventure game in Coloropus." - JTM Games
Coloropus is developed by Pigsels and published by Lace Mamba Global for the PC. It is a puzzle adventure game which relies heavily on its colour mechanics and physics to progress through the game.
RipTen: "The story is charming, and after the initial launching screen, not a word is written in the entire game. Instead, tutorials, important clues and story lines are all told through small animated cartoons. If you remember the days of cutscenes in the old Pac-Man games, they are similar to that. Even the menu is word free, instead using easy to understand icons to inform you of what each button represents."
