The Majesty of Colours

Post by gkscotty » Mon Dec 15, 2008 12:28 am

I was totally blown away by this flash game. See if you can find all five endings.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

Had to give up on finding the fourth ending myself, but yeah, awesome game.

One of the few really interesting Flash games/art installations/whatever I've seen recently, particularly in Kongregate. It was short, but worthwhile.

Another arty and awesome flash game.

Careful it's pretty damn hard, but perseverence will probably get you through...

Man, I'm glad I played that game. It was short but worth it, absolutely worth it.

I managed to beat the whole damn ga-ame...

Yes, it was indeed worth it. I've missed games like this.

I'm going to check out "The Majesty of Colours" next. Never did.

Now I've played "The Majesty of Colours" too. Oh, that was creepy, well-written and beautiful. I had to get Graham to help me get a couple of the endings, though.

The only problem with this game is 1) it's too short and 2) I can only find two endings. Aside from that, I loved it.

OK, I just played "Today I Die". Where's the gore First time I've seen a game about overcoming the darkness within. Why has no-one done it before?

Best thing I've seen, done or eaten in a while. *goes to look for the other ending*

EDIT: And the other one is very clever indeed! I wonder how hard it was to program.
