Runbow is an action party game with a unique art style and a never-before seen colour mechanic that will keep you running back for more. Platforms and obstacles appear and disappear as the background colour changes, so if you can’t see something, it doesn’t exist. Whether you're playing alone or with friends, Runbow is fast, frantic, and a lot of fun. Players can race against each other in The Runbow Run, or go head to head in a number of different modes including King of the Hill and Arena to name a few. Use the Wii U GamePad to become the malevolent ColourMaster controlling the colours and the obstacles in the level, or tackle our toughest game mode, The Bowhemoth, a 30+ minute platforming challenge that will put the patience and skill of even the toughest players to the test. If dozens of game modes, hundreds of unlockable costumes, and a crazy, colourful gaming challenge sounds like fun, then you better get ready to Runbow!

I will say, I was surprised at how little trouble I had with this, given my colorblindness. If I hadn't gotten it in a bundle, I wouldn't have picked it up because I would've figured that it was unbeatable for me, but actually no. There's generally a goodly amount of attention put into using high-contrast colors for ease of readability, such that the transitions are more obvious. The colors themselves aren't especially important, save that they are different, which I think helps, too; the game can just randomize color palettes for each given stage. I'd still suspect someone with more severe colorblindness than me (i.e. someone who can't see given colors, rather than someone who mixes up colors) might still struggle with this, and even with this in mind there were a few instances of greens/yellows/oranges that gave me a little trouble - but I appreciated that I was able to manage it okay. Thanks, 13 AM.
