Express
A short 2d shooter game with a 3 color limit and a multi-state system mechanic. Submission to the Minimalist Game Jam #1.
Multi and Minimalistic
The multiple states in the game are represented as sun(happy), raindrop(sad) and fire(angry). These are also 3 common states of human mind/emotion. Finding balance between collecting and expressing them is key. There is no background music, only a couple of short sfx for minimalist audio. There are 2 main colors used(black and white) and a 3rd color, which depends on the player's state.
Other Info
The game is probably buggy and laggy so I'm sorry in advance. The Windows ver. is probably less laggy. In the game, there is only a menu, a tutorial and a boss fight. To fight the boss, follow the instructions in the tutorial. Reaching 100% more or 0% less will break the bottle, the keeper of emotions(states).
As of now, the game is more of a prototype of an idea I was inspired by, but it could definitely be something worth expanding on the future. What do you think?

Cool Game and Art Style just some feedback sometimes I felt lost but maybe that was how you wanted it. Also the spiders health sometimes when moving down went into the wall so you couldnt see it. Apart from that very unique and great use of the theme.
Thanks for the feedback. I see what you mean. I'll adjust the health bar and put more directions in the future. Thank you for playing!
