different color.\u00a0 But the trick here is that you can only touch blocks of your own color, otherwise you\u2019ll die and have to start the level over again.\u00a0 Collect keys to open blocks and stars for points, too.\u00a0 Make it to the portal in the level to move onto the next.\u00a0 Color Pals is available on current consoles but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n<p>Your color block can move left and right and jump.\u00a0 You can also stick to walls and jump up them like Mega Man X.\u00a0 When you touch a lightning bolt, you\u2019ll change to the same color as it was.\u00a0 But you\u2019d better make sure you\u2019ll land on a square the same color or you\u2019ll have to start the level over again.\u00a0 Collect keys to make certain blocks disappear so you can progress, and collect all three stars in a level for bragging rights.\u00a0 Be on the lookout for spring blocks that launch you super high.\u00a0 You must enter the portal to finish the level, but you have to be the same color as the portal, too.<\/p>\n<p>I liked the cute characters and boppy music, but the game gets way too hard about a third of the way in.\u00a0 It\u2019s also tough sometimes to differentiate your block from the stationary ones.\u00a0 And the spring blocks are also hard to see.\u00a0 Plus if you barely touch a block of a different color, you die.\u00a0 Because of all this, I lost interest in this one pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/color_screen-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23490\"
