Initially I was put off this game by the lurid colours in the screenshots, but once you see the game in motion it makes far more sense. What lies beneath is actually a really nicely handcrafted puzzle game about single room puzzles based on blocks, switches, and a bit of platforming, all based on one key mechanic. When you change the background colour, all objects matching that colour disappear. This enables you to walk through blocks, hide lasers, hide falling rocks and use all of those things to solve a puzzle and open a door. The 'story' is a bit pretentious, but the gameplay is great.
