Unichrome
A downloadable game for Windows
Evoking nostalgia through the use of retro aesthetics, Unichrome is the only game (that we know of) about a little unicorn with a big ass gun and molotov cocktails. Bob your head to the hypnotic OST as you triple-barrel-shotgun-blast your enemies in the face in the enthralling black-and-white platformer that is Unichrome. Boasting 8 unique mini-bosses, 16 weapons and a trash-talking rainbow unicorn, Unichrome is a classic side-scrolling adventure, with tight controls, tough-as-nails precision platforming, and just a dash of shoot-em-up bullet hell.
1 bit adventures!
Follow the platforming quest of a unicorn in search of color in this 1-bit adventure by Super 8bit Rafa. Relive the glory of the retro console era in the spirit of the classic Atari while experiencing heart-pounding platforming and shoot 'em up action. Prepare for an arcade delight with tight controls, refreshing game mechanics, cracking retro art and an addictive soundtrack.
History
The Unichrome prototype was originally created in just 3 days as part of WGJ 28 with the theme "Rainbow Unicorn". The original prototype had only 4 levels, each of a different color: purple, brown, blue and white. There was only one boss fight originally at the very end. Due to its popularity, it was determined to take this on as a full-scale project. The current team consists of only one guy Super8bitRafa (lone developer) . The game is currently still being updated weekly.

Hey, beta tester here. The link to the survey in the game will not work, can I have one through here?
Oh no! Wonder why? Anyways here is the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/u3Y6mv3PmNruk9dq6
Look forward to your feedback
Hey there, I got the beta version which I really want to test out, but sadly I'm a mac user, is there any plan to make the game available for mac?
Unfortunately there are no plans to bring Unichrome to Mac. At this time only an XBOX release is in the works (and perhaps PC)
Oof, sad. Ok I'll be waiting for Xbox Build), gl!
Great game, fast paced and nice graphics. Love the music, really gets you going.
