Super nice review of Monochrome Heights from the fine folks over at SUPERJUMP!

I wrote up my thoughts and feelings about releasing the indie video game I made, Monochrome Heights, in a final devlog published on @bossrush.net. I'm thankful to have had this outlet to talk about making the game and close out the series with an honest reflection. bossrush.net/2025/11/02/m...

@gamegrin.com reviewed Monochrome Heights! In particular we love this quote, "Monochrome Heights is an incredibly challenging game that I really like, but damn it makes me angry." www.gamegrin.com/reviews/mono...

Even after working on this game for so long, I still love all the music in Monochrome Heights. Check out the full OST over on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDxl...

In Monochrome Heights there are optional cherry collectibles on all levels. Seeking out the cherry on a level is an extra challenge purely for 100% completion. Are you a platformer fan? Check out the game on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2336210/...

Monochrome Heights has been updated to v. 1.0.2! An update for the demo to address various issues and bring the demo up to parity with the full game release is planned for some time later this week. store.steampowered.com/news/app/233...

Monochrome Heights is now available for PC! Anyone who likes tricky platformers should take a look Besides the cover art & logo, I made the in-game character portraits (over 100!) and concept art for some of the cutscene backgrounds. What a joy to see it all as a part of the final product

When my son was an infant I spent many nights trying to rock him to sleep. Across from the rocker hung a string of paper robots. I stared at those robots for so long that I named them and gave them backstories. Now, about ten years later, I've made a video game that stars those robots.

Monochrome Heights releases TOMORROW!

If you let Happy the Robot idle in Monochrome Heights, they will eventually sit down and jam out to the tunes. Monochrome Heights launches on Tuesday on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2336210

I'm so excited for folks to experience Monochrome Heights and learn about the story and characters and world of the game as much as the gameplay. It's not very common for 2D platformers to have a dynamic narrative where dialogue choices matter. The game comes out NEXT WEEK!

Monochrome Heights releases in less than a week!

Monochrome Heights will be available on October 7th!

Monochrome Heights has a release date! Check out the release date announcement trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqOD...

Working hard on story scenes for Monochrome Heights!

Brief story scenes play out in the form of flashbacks at the start of each new zone in Monochrome Heights! We're hard at work creating the remaining scenes. Here's a look at one in progress!

In Monochrome Heights, you play as Happy the Robot, who has eschewed violence and fighting, but agreed to climb Layla's tower in order to put an end to former friend, now enemy, Layla. Check out the demo and wishlist the game on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2336210

Monochrome Heights is a pure platformer where you have to phase between black and white to progress upwards! Check out the demo and wishlist on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2336210

All of the levels in Monochrome Heights have been built! Playtesting, polishing, and bug-fixing is still ongoing. There were lots of ideas left on the cutting room floor for additional content, updates, or a sequel. Not every good idea can fit!

The art for the deteriorating platforms in Monochrome Heights has been updated for variety and an overall better look! This is one of those details that has been on the to-do list for some time!

Monochrome Heights is unabashedly a hard game, but there are regular checkpoints on each level to respawn from, making the game more approachable for everyone.

As you climb higher in Monochrome Heights, you'll find more and more phasebots are starting to question things.

Levels in Monochrome Heights are divided into 5 sections with checkpoints. Each section has a coin. If you collect all the coins in a level it spells out HAPPY (the protagonist is Happy the Robot). If you get all the HAPPY coins in a zone, you unlock a completely optional bonus challenge level.

When falling behind on a schedule, it's tempting to think you've just got to work harder, but frenzied and frantic work doesn't always make up time. Being deliberate and well paced is the way to go, when possible.

This is one of my favorite sections in Monochrome Heights. In the early demo it was a difficult part for lots of players, partly because that demo skipped levels where you learn important skills to deal with this section. The current demo includes everything leading up to this!

Feeling thankful for all the new connections and old friends on this site. Looking forward to finishing up Monochrome Heights, releasing it next year, and revealing what we're working on next!

Robots always slide.
