Koru is a young boy in Colortown, a city built on creativity and emotion, where a dark force called the Bleakness is draining color and joy from the world. You guide him through a 3D action adventure, using color and emotion to bring the city back to life. Despite a style that recalls 1990s mascot platformers, the game has no jump button at all.
Developer Mimimi Games cites Jak and Daxter and Banjo-Kazooie as touchstones, and the tone is bright, colorful and family-friendly. It is a single-player game with full controller support that works for playing alongside children or for adults who want a lighthearted throwback.
