ColorBlend FX: Desaturation

ColorBlend FX: Desaturation is a 2.5D puzzle-platformer about the Splatians’ attempt to restore the essence stolen from their world and shut down Lord Ashen, a government project that led to humanity’s extinction. You explore a range of locations, solve puzzles based on color and physics, and use upgrades and the Crystals of Essence in your mission to recover the chaos.

The world and its story

Explore the overworld, a university, a physics research facility, railway tunnels and mines. The narrative and lore draw on the idea of balance represented by Yin-Yang. Along the way, you can discover 69 achievements: some come through progress, while others require grinding and dedication.

Color and physics puzzles

You can swim in pools of paint to change your color, then interact with devices that respond to your appearance. The game also includes physics-based puzzles, trains to drive, ore to mine and upgrades to find. A color-label mode is available to help colorblind players and can also be useful to other players.

Hazards and bosses

The journey includes parkour and hazards such as spikes, moving platforms, S.L.I.M.E. that can dash at you, and falling gas canisters. Challenging bosses also stand in your way.
