The PC version of DYE is officially available on Steam now, and just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for the positive reception. Launch day was incredible. ːdyehueː

YouTubers / Twitch Streamers

A BIG THANK YOU to all of the YouTubers and Twitch streamers who have been playing over the past two weeks. Hanging out in chat and watching everyone progress through the game has been amazing. We've been hanging out in Vellhart's channel for a good part of the week watching him complete every single challenge in the game. He finished the 100% run last night, so congrats to Vellhart for being the world first! Vellhart's Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/vellhart We also got an overwhelming warm welcome from Lethalfrag's channel last night. ːdyechillː Mike has been doing a great job of curating our "Big List of VODs" which you can find here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/503550/discussions/0/135509472111566512/

Speed Running

The most common comment we saw during these past two weeks was "this game would be great for speed running." We agree, and we are looking at ways to improve the game for speed runners. If you have any requests or ideas that might make speed runs more enjoyable, then shoot us an email at info[at]batcountrygames[dot]com.

What's next?

We've got a couple of quality of life improvements that will be coming in the next patch, as well as some minor difficulty adjustments. Our next top priorities are the Linux and Mac releases. We're working to get those out as soon as possible.

Soundtrack

Really glad you guys are digging the music, and got a couple of requests to make it available outside of Steam. Working on getting it available on other storefronts, but for now there's also my Bandcamp located here: https://dannystracener.bandcamp.com/releases ːdyepigmentː Again, thanks to everyone for the super positive feedback so far. Hope you guys enjoy the game, and try not to DYE. ;) -- Danny and Mike at Bat Country Games

DYE is a challenging precision platformer where you help Hue rescue Pigments and defeat the nefarious Necrolights in order to restore color to the world! Jump, wall jump and float your way through 4 unique worlds with hundreds of challenges. Anyone from first-time platform gamers to experienced hardcore speedrunners will find a rewarding test of skill in saving Hue's homeworld.

DYE has tight and responsive controls, and has been balanced around the use of a controller. Full keyboard support is available, but spare your hands and sanity (seriously), and use a controller. DYE has native support for all common controllers including Xbox, Steam, PS4, and most others.

What's In Each World?

Each world contains 9 regular levels, 4 challenge levels and 1 unique boss fight.

The 9 regular levels in each world of DYE are a series of challenges with Pigments along the way. Each Pigment you rescue will restore a layer of color, and rescuing all 5 in a level will restore all color to that level. The Normal Mode of the level will have checkpoints along the way, while the Hard Mode modifier will remove all checkpoints and add additional danger.

The 4 challenge levels in each world of DYE are filled with 100 "dust". You free a Pigment every 20 dust collected. There are no checkpoints in the challenge levels, and the Hard Mode version of these levels adds a restrictive time limit.
