About the Game


RETRO RUN & GUN ACTION

Follow the platforming quest of a unicorn in search of color in this 1-bit adventure by Super8bitRafa.

  • Fully voiced characters starring Olivia Vidas and Christina Costello
  • Amazing 1-bit retro art style

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 person Super8bitRafa (lone developer). The game is currently still being updated weekly.
