Hue: Adventure inmost of color 4+

I liked that you could demo before purchasing the full game, however the demo part doesn’t contain anything really challenging as it’s set up like a tutorial. That’s all fine, until you pay and get more challenging levels. I’m paying on an iPad Pro and the mechanic where you change colors while jumping or running, well, less than desired controls. The slide up to get the pause-color wheel is clumsy and bc the main color wheel is right above it and you slide too far it glitches out. Particularly challenging is the jump color change bc it still activates the jump, sometimes twice, when you are still pressing and haven’t lifted your finger. I’m hoping I get used to it, but I’m at the “boulder run” and I’m about to quit. I even went to an entry map to practice the color change skills. There is literally no haptic on this, no physical feedback, something needs to be reimagined for an update. I’ll keep playing bc I paid, love the idea of the game, and it’s beautiful visually...but meanwhile I’ll try not to throw my iPad across the room when I get stuck on the fast action color changes. Again, love the idea and challenge of those, want better controls.

I will start by saying I enjoy this game. The graphics are well down for this type of game with the colors being vibrant and very well defined while also having a softness to them that doesn’t hurt the eyes if you’re playing in a dim or dark room (which I suggest since it contrast with the black landscape). The puzzles so far aren’t complicated enough to need any assistance outside of finding collectibles. However, I’m not sure if it’s my phone or the game, but the sensitivity between jumping and color swapping is at times game ending. There are some relatively easy jumping puzzles that completely waste up my time because mid jump the color wheel has popped up and either changed the color quickly or so slowly that I’m forced to watch the little dude jump right into the spike pit in a morbid slow motion kill cam shot. I’ve gotten so frustrated that I’m taking a break. I don’t remember if I paid for the game or not. If I did it was worth the few bucks I paid for as the game is largely a good game. I can get past the sensitivity every now and again but not when I want to drown out my day and binge play before bed.

The game is so cool and I really enjoy the storyline. The design/style is so unique and the sound affects are calming. However, the controls are very sensitive and may even be slightly small. I enjoyed the demo so much that I decided to pay the 4.99. Since the demo was a bit short, I did not notice these complications. This game would be so peaceful and enjoyable if I wasn’t getting so frustrated with the controls. I am on a level that requires me to change the colors in order to get past the spikes. Sadly, when I get to a certain point, I can’t jump far enough to the other box. I have tried changing to the other color so I can get to a box that is closer, but when I switch, the box underneath me disappears. I’ve tried moving while switching colors, however, it won’t allow me. I’ve been trying to do the level for a while and instead of being calm, I am getting upset and flustered. This game has so much potential and if the developers can solve these inconveniences, I think the game would be AMAZING!
