About the Game

A whimsical and lively garden somewhere in the distant future gets invaded by color-slurping aliens and ends up completely desaturated. The garden robot is on a mission to cleanse the aliens of their gluttony and restore the color palette. 

 
Palette Cleanser is a sweet, compact 3D platformer lovingly crafted by students from Breda University of Applied Sciences over the course of eight months. 

Swiftly dash and jump around the level controlling an adorable robot, cleansing critters along the way to keep your speed up and your spirits high! 

                       

These cheeky little aliens think they've taken over, but not for long! Collect them and bring them to safety of their own silliness.  But watch out, some might fight back... 

                       

Experience a playful twist on size as a tiny robot exploring a HUGE garden! Wander in an open-ended environment and watch the world around you spring back to color as you progress! 

                       

Anything else?

Well, the development team couldn't figure out if the player is: slurp & sliding, dash & riding, zip & zapping, jump & pumping, boot & scooting, hop & bopping, surf & turfing, smooch & smacking, blink & skipping, boom & zooming, Plink & Plonk™-ing, but in any case you go very fast, so how about you just go and figure out and tell us later in the reviews.
