In the colorful title from developer Fiddlesticks, you play as the titular Hue, exploring a dangerous grey land, unearthing colored fragments on a journey to find his missing mother. These fragments allow him to manipulate color, creating many gameplay and puzzle-solving opportunities. On your adventure, the colored fragments you find will appear on a mysterious wheel. Selecting a color with the right analog stick will change the background color. Then, when obstacles match the background, they disappear — letting you pass through!
As the colors increase, so too do the types of puzzles. Soon you’ll be making all sorts of things appear and disappear. Crates, crumbling rocks, balloons, moving platforms, boulders, and many more items will help or hinder your progress. Remember — you’re one color away from certain death, so solve these puzzles carefully! It’s not all puzzle-solving in Hue, though. Danger lurks around every corner, and you’ll find yourself quickly switching between colors in a desperate bid to avert danger. Whether it’s being impaled, drowned, crushed, or lasered, you’ll need to use your full spectrum of colors to escape the cold grasp of death.
Hue’s not the only one with the power to change color. You’ll quickly find yourself bouncing off color blocks, or drenching objects in colored slime. Just when you thought you were changing the world, you’ll find the world starts changing itself. This can be a blessing or a curse — things change very quickly in the world of Hue and you’ll need to stay on your toes. Even when you’re drenched in colored slime and darting between colored boulders. Quick reflexes are essential to escaping unscathed!
Hue is expected to arrive for PS Vita and PS4 by mid-September.
