This is ryb. A clone of a pretty neat indie game called Haiki. ryb was made using HTML5 canvas and good ol' JavaScript.
ryb is a puzzle platformer where you try to traverse levels of increasing difficulty as a small square. The main mechanic of the game is that you have the ability to change the color of the background, which allows you to pass through objects of the same color. Using this power, you will be tasked with completing many interesting and challenging puzzles.
Can you discover the game's secrets? ;)
The color palette was choosen to closely resemble the Haiki, the game that inspired this project. The overall look was then designed to give a very minimalist and friendly appearance with the subtle shadowing and use of only simple geometric shapes.
The physics are based on the physics of platformers such as Super Mario Bros. and Super Meat Boy. Things like the acceleration of the character, wall jumping, and the camera movements were designed to give a very fluid and natural feel to the gameplay.
The music was also written to add to the very light and minimal feel of the game. The simplistic drum patterns and high, plucky synth sounds add to the friendly and relaxing vibe of the game.
More levels and some form of collectable/key implementation.
