Colorbound is a puzzle-platformer where color drives progression. You play as Anku, a boy who lives in the mountains of Chile with his grandmother. Together they remember Eloy, his grandfather, through the color his music brought into their lives.

For players who want a story-driven platformer, this one uses color and music together to carry its themes of love, loss, and family.

Key Features at a Glance

  • Color-based progression: Color drives the puzzles and advancement, and it also represents Andean culture.
  • Panpipe as story anchor: The panpipe (la zampoña) is the first item Anku collects and the object that sparks the reunion at the heart of the story.
  • Pastel, watercolor-inspired palette: Meant to create a cozy sense of nostalgia.
  • Andean music: The soundtrack immerses players in Anku and his grandfather's lives and evokes the atmosphere of the Andean region.
  • Aymara culture: The game features Aymara culture, and the developer hopes it will inspire players to learn more about it.
  • Game jam origins: The game began as a concept for the Latin American Games Showcase Game Jam in 2025, under the theme “What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't feel.”
