How it feels

You navigate tricky platforming puzzles and brutal bosses with a color-phasing ability, driven by a lonely quest for memory and escape.

What players say

Players are split on Spectrum: First Light. Many find the color-switching platforming mechanic clever but the execution lacking, with a tedious story, mediocre comic-book art, and difficulty that feels frustrating rather than rewarding. A few enjoy the challenge and soundtrack.
