Color Combat

RenaudDMarshall |

Color Combat is a top down arcade shooter where you play as RGB a lone colored pixel. Armed with your dream of coloring the digital world, you set out to spread your color to the ever growing black pixel forces. Can RGB make the screen a brighter place or will she be overrun by darkness? Color Combat is inspired by games such as Geometry Wars and Ikaruga. It is planned for release on PC, Mac and Linux, and will feature a playable demo so you can try the game before you buy.
