How it feels
A brisk, retro-styled shoot 'em up that blends reflex-heavy dodging and shooting with puzzle-like color-switching mechanics through bright, cartoony levels.

What players say
Players describe Chromancy as a mix of an avoid-em-up and a shmup, where color-based mechanics add a twist. Many call it very hard, though some say the difficulty stems from poor hitboxes and the inability to move diagonally, which can feel unfair during boss fights.
