Hey guys, I'm excited to make the demo of Colorspace available. It has 6 levels on which you can try to get the best time, highest score and collect every collectibles. The demo should give you an idea of how the game plays and of course there will be more environments, levels and mechanics in the full release. I hope you'll enjoy it, and I can't wait to know what you think. I'm open to feedback so please don't hesitate to share with me. The easiest way is to do it on Discord, there's a dedicated feedback channel for Colorspace. I'm still working on the demo, so expect regular updates with quality of life features and hopefully an online leaderboard pretty soon :) Enjoy!
