Determined to reclaim what was lost, Pluto embarks on a journey across the galaxy, facing challenges while collecting color shards.The gameplay revolves around using only two action controls - jump and dash - in addition to the movement controls to navigate through the physics based gameplay and platformer challenges.The game features four realms themed around space, elements, dreams, and (quantum) dimensions.

Insipirations
Pluto Lost Its Colors was inspired by a vision to make a game with simple input controls but with many variations, and a gameplay which provides a genuine challenge that is satisfying to complete. Its inspirations include Super Mario 64 for controls, and 'Kaizo Mario' style challenges but in a way accessible to players from all skill levels.It has been compared by players to Marble Madness, a 1984 arcade video game, Mojo! (2003), and the Super Monkey Ball series, among others.
Player Experience
Players consistently describe the game as addictive. While challenging, progressing to each checkpoint is deeply satisfying and rewarding. Some players have expressed how perfectly suited this game is for speedrunning. Despite its difficulty, many players have shared that they found it immensely fun and can see themselves lost in the game for hours on end. Both players and spectators found it enjoyable.
