A game on the shorter side. The cover and title mostly means that the dungeons are going to have those colors and that you're going to search through them, nothing else.
For its price (two bucks on Steam), it's a great deal. That being said, it's a difficult (at times) precision platformer that is not without some faults (the biggest being the locations of warp points and save points relative to some of the challenges you have to encounter).
Bosses are very basic for the most part and range from extremely easy to frustrating based on their patterns. It's not that the patterns are particularly difficult, but rather, your weapon has an extremely short range and your jump is extremely floaty, resulting in you sometimes whiffing very hard on openings even when you do avoid boss attack patterns.
Some bosses are also just re-skins with slightly different abilities (Fire and Water Temple bosses as well as "Another World" boss, for instance).
Worth it at two bucks, but I haven't finished it because I don't feel like beating my head against a wall with all the spikes/1-hit kills in the mines that have to be traversed for a mandatory item. Maybe sometime down the line, we'll see.
