Iridescence

Iridescence is a polarity shooter built around switching colors to dodge and absorb bullets. You can safely collide with red or blue bullets while matching their color, switch between red and blue, and hold the color button to turn purple. Black bullets and missiles must be avoided.

Color and combat

The game’s watercolor-painted presentation accompanies a chaining and damage system that rewards close-range attacks. You deal more damage to enemies when you are closer to them, but that also puts you in greater danger. Destroy an enemy from within a certain distance to chain it; chain four times to raise your score multiplier. Enemies are positioned so they can be chained, though you can also play by simply blasting everything in sight.

Levels and challenges

The main game has five levels and five bosses. Completing the main levels earns credits needed to unlock 30 challenge levels, which test your dodging, damage-dealing and survival skills and become increasingly difficult as you progress.
