The WhatsNext verdict
Koloro is a strong choice for players who enjoy compact, demanding puzzle-platforming built around timing and a one-button gimmick. Its dreamy visual identity adds charm, though the lengthy structure is best approached in short sessions.
What it does best
One-button movement turns timing into the whole game
Compact rooms make every jump a readable little puzzle
A dreamy handmade look with a strong pink-and-shadow identity
What might put you off
Hundreds of levels can feel repetitive and poorly paced
Auto-running and strict timing can become frustrating
The setup
What you are walking into
ABOUT THE GAME Koloro is a contemplative puzzle/platform game. Its story reveals a poetic world. The graphics and atmosphere are enhanced using contrasts, and bewitching sound effects and music. You play Kora who embarks on a quest to find her missing sister. You will need to find the courage to overcome obstacles and face strange creatures to guide her through dangerous levels full of mystery. Jump, perform wall jumps, toggle switches, request fireflies' assistance to open doors. Control water to find new ways through the levels. Discover many new and interesting gameplay features as you make your way throughout the four worlds of the game. NOT A CLASSIC PLATFORMER In Koloro you can't choose the way of your character. The only way to turn back is to wall jump. So, you will have to face the dangers and to solve puzzles to reach the portal with only the jumping button! PLAY WITH A FRIEND You will also be able to face danger and solve the riddles with a friend as an alternative two-player shared-screen story mode is available. Players will be able to enjoy this alternative mode together especially since the level design and the story will not be the same as the single-player mode.
