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 designed a retro ad for my buddy's game MONOCHROME HEIGHTS! It comes out TUESDAY and it's TREMENDOUSLY FUN!

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.

Don't be afraid to be proud of your own creations!

Gotta make sure you're having some fun along the way.

In Monochrome Heights the primary mechanic is phasing between black and white to progress upwards! Check out the demo and wishlist on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2336210

If you don't occasionally find yourself lost, you aren't truly exploring.

It's a lazy Saturday morning for once!

Humans aren't machines, and even machines need breaks.

Sometimes you gotta push through, and sometimes you gotta just take the day off.

We're making a retro-style indie game called Monochrome Heights! It's a pixel-art, challenging, 2D platformer where the primary mechanic is phasing, changing between black and white, to get through obstacles. Wishlist on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2336210/...
