Breadcrumb Game: The Chromatic Balance 🍞🌈
September 27, 2024
Core mechanic
Color Absorption: As the white sphere touches different colors—such as blue, red, or yellow—it absorbs them, changing its own color. The sphere’s surface shifts and blends based on the colors it collects, and as it progresses through the mountain, it transforms into a spectrum of hues. For instance, mixing blue and red turns the sphere purple.
Story concept
In the ancient a mountain, there exists a legend about the "Truth of Colors." The main character is a pure white sphere, tasked with finding the ultimate answer to the origins of the world by absorbing different color blocks scattered throughout the mountain. Each color represents a natural element—e.g. fire, ice, water, light, plants.
With each color the sphere absorbs, it gains new powers, gradually uncovering pieces of the ultimate "answer." However, as the sphere takes in too many colors, the excess power causes it to lose control, and it begins to turn gray. This shift makes the sphere realize that the true answer is not in collecting all the powers, but in finding balance between diversity and purity. The sphere must let go of the excess colors and return to its original white form to finally see the truth behind the vibrant colors.
