Why this game will stand out?

The unique art style mixed with the color mechanics and the story, everything put together defines ColorBlend FX: Desaturation in its strength. Take a toy gun, splatter stuff around you, solve puzzles, discover secrets while uncovering the mythical story of Splatland. Feel both joy and anger, the game isn't as easy as the AAA industry tends to do nowadays, but isn't unfairly difficult too.

Development timeline and budget

The game started as a free time project in Q1 2018, but unfocused. in August 2021 the work switched to near full time but running on savings and friends who help with funding. Our weakest point is marketing, so we seek someone to help us grow, bizdev, or to sell our game - we prefer small investment in the range of ~$10-$15K and a publisher to help with marketing, or ~$50K and marketing agencies / people to help us show this game to the world and sell it. The game is ready as a game design but isn't yet fully polished, still needs localization, marketing and release strategy.
