Nice. i wish the death screens could give some indication as to how to skip quickly back to the gameplay.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD26 → Monoboy

Really, really fun. Great ambience !
Minimal. Graphics. FUN!!!
Very neat concept very nice colors..
Nice one! I really like the idea of the mixing colors. There are some colors that are hard to see because of the low contrast between the background and the platform.
Very fun! Great mood!
I found this really beautiful!
Beautiful game :)
So relaxing. Very good
Very nice. Good graphics and controls. Fun gameplay!
absolutely a brilliant game, wished there was more levels so I could play for longer
The movement felt a bit sluggish, but the ambience was great.
Great concept, really nice graphics and sound! I like it very much.
Let's kill someone and steal their colors!
Follows theme and good graphics. Only complaint is that you need more levels.
Fantastic idea... and those graphics: super sweet. Sometimes the platforms felt a bit unfair ("I flippin' made that jump, I swear it!") - but so addictive!
I love it, great graphics and ambient, but i not source code :(, and not mentioned were was developed
Source added! Developed in the UK.
Loved it! Shame I literally couldn't be any worse at platformers if I tried. Great entry, and loved the hand drawn scenes! Keep it up.
Fun game :) Controls felt solid and smooth. Great atmosphere. The collission felt a bit off sometimes but nothing serious though.
I don't know if this was very minimalistic, but this was really fun!
Love the art. God damn. Music tied in well. Great entry.
Wow. Amazing job.
Nice idea, maybe need more level design variety. The music is strange, dunno if it is my computer or the original track. Enjoyed the graphics !
Monoboy is adorable
Nice game!! Cool graphic! :)
Very nice graphics, although a bit too detailed in contrast to the main theme of this LD, if you ask me.
Still, the game feels smooth and polished, well done :)
The control is too slippery. But it's still a great game
This is easily my favourite submission so far. I'd pay for a game based on this concept, honestly. Music was amazing, the art was fantastic, and the mechanics were solid.
Fun, beautiful, wish you had polished the character control a bit more :)
Nice Little game. The game screen doesn't appear in the right Position on IE 10 (Windows 8) for me (half way off the left side of the window), works fine in Chrome. You should definitely add some kind of loading screen. Everything going blank when loading is as odd as seeing only sprites between Levels. Oh, and I think the Angry Video Game Nerd would hate this game. It's too easy to fall through the borders of the dark cloud platforms, cause they're smaller than the actual graphic. :)
Very good game, the graphics are awesome!
Great job on the art and audio! The particles slowed it down a lot for me, but otherwise, nice entry :)
Art and music are really nice! Gives a great mood to the game. Actual gameplay is pretty fun also
Holy *** It's great! Very funny and colorful. Pretty nice.
Cute graphics, movements feel a bit sluggish but nothing too serious.
I like the base idea of killing monster and mixing colors to unlock parts of the level, but IMO the level design isn't very inspired. It feels like a missed opportunity for something great. Still, nice work !
incredibly cool art and atmosphere!
This was the most fun game I've played LD26 yet. It was a pretty simple mechanic, but the design was excellent - jumping felt fun, bouncing on the things felt fun, etc.
Better yet, I really think this has the potential to become a pretty decent little puzzle platformer. As of now, it is quite linear - yeah you have 'paths' to take, but in the end you have to get this ghost, then this one, and eventually this one, etc. By adding a mechanic where you can remove color from him, to perhaps remove walls or something to get by, it could turn into more of a puzzle game where you have to figure out what order to get the things in and which ones to remove and how to get them back up again, etc
Very fun!
Looks great, plays well, colour combining makes me think of wizball on Atari-ST... but it's completely different this time. Nice mix of drawn and "live" art.
Really nice graphics and music. The platforming is a bit off but nothing serious. Overall a decent game.
Beautiful style & atmosphere! I only wish one could change the controls (I hate using up arrow for jumping).
Well this was just bloody lovely. Smooth, sketching is awesome, rad job!
Nice little jumper there with nice small touches. The death screens are funny. =)
Very good effort, very cute, and simple
Just fantastic! I love the colour mixing and hand-drawn art. Not a big fan of the music. Overall: AMAZING. Great work indeed!
Really nice game here. The graphics are lovely. I really like the particles rising up from the character. The colour/platform mechanic is nice too.
Fun, but very repetitive levels and anticlimactic ending. The graphics and controls are pretty great, though.
Love the death screens; they're beautiful.
At first, I thought it was a cookie. Then, I thought it was a deformed moon. Then, I saw what it was...
Great game, though. I liked the concept, I dislike the 'up = continuous jumping' that so many games have, but everything looked top-notch.
Whenever I die and restart, the game lags like crazy. But it's really fun and very graphically smooth!
I played this one for a while. I love the little color particles that trail off of you when you starting alot of potential colors. The platform mechanic was also a really neat idea.
Awesome game, it also has POTATO!
Nice art style and smooth animation. I also liked the color mixing mechanic. But there was a point in one early level were making the wrong decision meant having to kill myself and start over since the necessary platform was unreachable. Otherwise, I had fun!
Wow, very cool! This was really fun and clever, I had to stay in til the end. Great job!
I was getting slowdowns during the game, was this just me?
Anyways, this actually helped me manage the jumps better.
Super cool. Mechanics and controls felt great. Loved the rejump when you went through a plat. Art and graphics were great too. Very nice. Also liked the death cutscenes.
Some of the platforms felt like their sprites deceive their hitboxes.
Good thing someone cut the clouds so they are walkable ;)
Nice entry with good quality on art, sounds and gameplay
This is awesome, really love the style.
The drawings enchanted me and the music mesmerized me. Mixing colors interested me. If you continue to develop this, have you considered some puzzles where the order in which you mix colors is critical to solidifying platforms to the exit?
Excellent overall polish. Thoroughly enjoy this entry!
nice! really enjoyable game.. sometimes it lags a bit, and collision detection is a bit off at times.. but great game
Fun game with awesome atmosphere, I loved the idea of jumping on monsters to enable platforms :D.
Awesome style and good mechanics. I think the level design could have gotten a little crazier - perhaps more puzzle-like to get the most out of the mechanic. Still, it was a fun experience over all!
This is lovely! The graphics and music fit together so well and the levels are really nicely designed. I sort of wish his jump was just a little bit more powerful, but other than that this is awesome.
Yeaaah monoboyyy !
Fantastic concept. Quite well balanced, loved the sparkly particle effects :)
Beautiful. Sad it has low fps on my computer but i enjoyed it :). And, was that a potato ?
Love it!
Good mechanics and fun gameplay. Nice job!
Very charming.
I love the detail of the colors following the little guy around and the combination of colors. Awesome work!
Really well made game. Cohesive aesthetic style, cool concept, tight controls. Nicely done!
fun platformer! the controls are really good and i liked the enemy color platform color concept. nice work :)
Cool stuff. I liked the mechanic!
if I might suggest one thing it's that a flatter first level might have clued me into the fact that you have to stomp on the guys heads, as it was didn't immediately clue into that fact and kept dying.
All in all though, a really innovative idea!
+1 for using Heroku :D
The color mechanic is very fun, particularly mixing colors together. Wonderful art style.
Love the graphic and the concept, well done :)
Great mood and great concept, really like it. Maybe a little too easy...
Beautiful game, I love the drawings and certainly particles are awesome. I like jumping too :) simple and fun.
LOVE THIS GAME!
Wow great game, especially the art and music. The mechanic was cool, but still kinda boring. The game makes up for it in mood and graphics though.
Very cool game
Good Work. I Really Liked the art style and soundtrack. The use of colors is very good!
I like the drawing.
The music is just fine and sound effects do the job.
Level design is rather interesting.
I died a lot trying to rush the levels. I managed to reach the potato, after some time :)
Very good controls. Smooth!
One thing I would consider is somehow requiring a specific order to kill enemies in order to unlock platforms. Maybe a bit of puzzle aspects on top of would add up nice.
Loved the colors iteraction. Nice entry!
Veeeeery interesting game! Great mood and challenging level design. Congratz!
Superbly done. I liked this one a lot.
Really cool, I like how you have to mix the colors to get the second-order platforms to appear.
Cute platformer, I like the
Cool concept and a good use of the theme. A job well done I must say.
I love the artwork.. those particles ended up being handy for remembering the colors...
Beautiful game. I really like the colors.
I think it also is the perfect length for Ludumdare, I failed a few times in the last level but I saw the potato and it was worth to continue playing.
Great Job!
