My submission to 7drl 2024 is Trichromat. You play as a spectre who has discovered that they can perceive three colours...

As per usual for this game, I've tried to make a game in the Broughlike style. A small grid, with some cryptic mechanics.

I have recently made the switch back to freelancing, and am enjoying the level of freedom it grants me with respect to how I spend my time. As part of that, I am recording how long I spend on various projects, and Trichromat clocks in at 37h 54m 08s.

Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of how Trichromat turned out. The game itself is a little repetitive, and run-to-run there isn't a lot of variety. I'm happy, however, that there are a few tricks to learn in order to become better at the game, and there are a few secrets to discover along the way. It's always nice to see my score demolished on the leaderboards, and that people have managed to really understand the game.

All in all, this is the fourth "broughlike" that I make, and I really enjoy contributing to the genre.
