Recipiente

Recipiente puts you in the role of an eel that must flee from and attack enemies by responding to similarities and differences in their colors and shapes. You use portals to escape and surprise your pursuers, while concentration, memory, precise reactions and composure under pressure help you progress.

Portals and abilities

Portals activate and deactivate procedurally. A shop lets you acquire special abilities, and you can unlock purchasable upgrades as you advance. These include a triple attack, temporary invulnerability, setting up simultaneous ambushes and unifying enemies.

Enemies and bosses

The three main enemy colors are linked to the numbers 1 through 3 in a color-blind accessibility option, so players can make the same decisions about when to attack or flee. Bosses draw inspiration from the Eastern puzzle Tangram, and the game also conveys an environmental message.
