VIVIDLOPE is an arcade game with a puzzle flavor, where the goal is to color the stages with the right color. Step on the tiles until you’ve cleared the target percentage. Sounds easy? It’s anything but! In this twisted realm, walking on walls and ceilings is a regular occurrence, as the gravity beneath your feet constantly adapts to where you’re going. On top of that, hostile beings continuously arrive through the portals and the color changing patterns become more complex as you beat the stages, so keep calm and stay grounded – as long as you remember wherever the ground is!
- Arcade game with a puzzle bent
- Dazzling stages to traverse from all sides
- Nonlinear progression – pick the stage you want to go to next, save the difficult ones for later
- The Power Meter mechanic rewards smart routing with higher speed – think ahead and boost your chances of survival
- Enter the Bonus Phase and try clearing 100% of the stage!
- Plethora of different obstacles that will keep you on your toes – maneuver between shockwaves, squeeze into tight openings and outsmart the foes darting your way
- Lots of stuff that will help you on your way – kick the paint rollers, burst the dusty flowers
- Grab the items and go wild with the souped-up powerups – dispatch enemies, flush the screen with a flurry of colors!
- Ranking system that will keep you coming back!

Ok normally the reviews i write are just if the game is good or not and like some shitty joke, but genuinely Vividlope is one of the best games I've played, and it is a damn shame that it's as obscure as it is.
There's nothing quite like the gameplay, the art is tied for the best art in any game I've played and the cutscenes, holy shit.
This game is fuckin amazing enough for me to go out of shitpost mode and write an honest review for once.

This game is probably one of the most fun videogames I have had the chance to complete, sure it is very hard and frustrating at times but it also feels so rewarding from a completionist point of view, even for a more casual player this game offers a lot of levels that are just a treat to the eyes and ears, visuals are amazing, music is great and wavy, I just really really really like this one, truly a hidden gem that deserves a lot more attention than it gets

Not my type of game.
An easy going, y2k aesthetic and style game that does not really do its premise much for me cus I just end up playing it like a platformer.
However, I appriciate the game, it does what it wants to do well and even more. This is not a bad game, I simply do not vibe with it. Its a quality game.

✅ aesthetic on point
✅ controls feel like sex (probably even better)
✅ the creature
✅ allowed to use 4:3 resolution
✅ Gamer Rank™
✅ works with proton
✅ the Creature
✅ underrated, and not in the fun way
✅ features a female rabbit made of simple geometry which has a synthesised voice and likes running around a lot and is also featured in a form factor resembling that of certain video game consoles from the mid to late 90s
✅ almost the best soundtrack of 2023
✅ you get a big hammer sometimes
✅ the fucking creature Oh The Scrunkly Awww :3 ❤️
the verdict? this game speaks for itself

Vividlope is one my favourite indie games and I am looking forward to Jaklub's future creative ventures. I love everything about its presentation: art-style, character design, menus, humour, SFX and especially music. It all comes together perfectly.
I understand it also has a very niche appeal - most games are bad at mixing action and puzzling; opting to have clear splits between the two (see any classic Resident Evil game).
If you pick up and play, (you should), it may lean more towards action/platforming than puzzling for you.
BUT, if you make the commitment to achieving Perfect rankings on each level, the game completely transforms. Suddenly every step matters, failure is waiting around every corner, and you are forced to learn the ins and outs of each item, enemy and obstacle. You'll need twitch-reactions, strategizing and back-up plans.
Yeah it gets real hard. Yeah there are some gripes.
I've seen complaints of the randomness factor and they are either blown out of proportion or come from a lack of game knowledge. My gripe is a bug concerning item spawns: some levels will outright not spawn queued powerups if you are standing in specific areas. This can make and break some attempts. The jumping controls can also take a lot to get use to. The warning about needing a good D-Pad is no joke.
The Nintendo Switch version apparently addresses both these issues. When these updates come to the Steam version, it will become a Perfect game! (Wa wawa!)
That's not hyperbole because there's also a level editor! (Mi mimi!)
EDIT: This update is out now!

Fantastic Playstation/Dreamcast era arcade/puzzle game reminiscent of Kula World or Qbert, and the newly implemented option of three characters really opens up options for play. Also a great soundtrack

Vividlope is a fast paced step-on-the-funny-tiles game that personally reminds me a lot of Q-Bert, Vib-Ribbon, that one PS1 dog game and Carrie's Order up. I followed this games development via the developers twitter account & really enjoyed my first play session with it. The gameplay can get very hecktic from managing dodging enemies while stepping on tiles & trying to plan out your movement during all the chaos felt very rewarding.
I have only played a little over an hour of this game but look forward to revisiting it
