About
A whimsical and lively garden somewhere in the distant future gets invaded by color-slurping aliens and ends up completely desaturated. The garden robot is on a mission to cleanse the aliens of their gluttony and restore the color palette.
Palette Cleanser is a sweet, compact 3D platformer lovingly crafted by students from Breda University of Applied Sciences over the course of eight months.

Swiftly dash and jump around the level controlling an adorable robot, cleansing critters along the way to keep your speed up and your spirits high!

These cheeky little aliens think they've taken over, but not for long! Collect them and bring them to safety of their own silliness. But watch out, some might fight back...

Experience a playful twist on size as a tiny robot exploring a HUGE garden! Wander in an open-ended environment and watch the world around you spring back to color as you progress!
Well, the development team couldn't figure out if the player is: slurp & sliding, dash & riding, zip & zapping, jump & pumping, boot & scooting, hop & bopping, surf & turfing, smooch & smacking, blink & skipping, boom & zooming, Plink & Plonk™-ing, but in any case you go very fast, so how about you just go and figure out and tell us later in the reviews.

Palette Cleanser is a short free game set in a visually lovely 3D garden world, which starts out in shades of grey until enough "critters" are tagged by the player-controlled robot to activate each of the sprinkler systems which restore full colour to the garden. This is a fast-paced game based around the use of a controller; as such it does not suit me at all, but I am still recommending it because I think that it is very well done, just not to my tastes. There are achievements for game progress and for speed runs; suffice to say that I didn't get anywhere near the latter!
An unfortunately very small game. The environment is very pleasant and the world feels cozy. Character controls are responsive and gameplay is prety straightfoward. The only thing to "complain" is that I wanted to play more. It's sad to see the developers are done with the game, but also understandable since it's a student project. Don't really know what else to say. If you want to try something short to brighten up your day, this is definitely worth it. Ps.: First game on steam that I managed to get all of the achievements. They can be earned in 25 minutes if you care about achievements. Got 6 without even tryijng on my first playthrough.

An amazing little palette cleanser that i would love to see more of. I love the art style and the music is easy on the ears.
https://youtu.be/JIiT9_V62ks Free student project that's short but hits it's features goals well enough for the scope.
Jogo extremamente agradável, com uma mecânica satisfatória de dar cores ao mundo onde se passa a aventura. Recomendo para quem quer um jogo divertido, com boa trilha sonora e rápido. Excelente.
Fun short game, it's definitely a new mechanic that can be use din these kind of cleaning/coloring games that get you to revive the nature again. Big plus on controller support!
Must extend my compliments to the art team -- all the animations, drawings, and designs are very cute and I really enjoy the character of the setting, NPCs, and playable bot. I also think the idea is a really cute one, very wholesome. That said, I had a couple issues playing it: 1. The instructions do NOT stay on screen long enough. I got a little lost and I just wish there was some sort of controls page where I could see which buttons do what. 2. This game is clearly not made for people with PCs and keyboard/mouse. I was flustered trying to figure out which of my keys correspond to the keys listed in the tutorials. 3. The movement of the main character is really clunky. Like, I had to quit because I kept pressing brake but fell off the edge anyway. It started to feel like I was playing Getting Over It. The character does not turn very quickly and is not very maneuverable. Everything else is really fun to look at, though -- the technicalities are where I get caught up. I think this game needs a patch or two.
meh good to waste time to ig but even then its only 15 minutes max every model is well designed but the game is very unpolished which shows its a passion project it is free AND only 1.5 gigs tho so bonus points
Un sympathique petit jeu coloré vraiment agréable à parcourir ! Le but est de libérer des petits personnages qui vous permettront de redonner ses couleurs à un monde devenu gris. C'est un jeu assez relaxant, on se laisse juste glisser en recolorant ce petit monde ! L'expérience dure à peu près 20 minutes ! Belle réalisation !
