huebris.

a game about taking it easy and timing your moves


NOTE: If you have issues with perceiving colors or if the game seems too hard/unfair, consider checking the "better visibility" setting in the main menu. That should make things easier.

In huebris you play as a hungry jellyfish trying to survive. Your health is divided in three bars: red, green and blue. Try to stay alive for as long as possible by replenishing your health and your pigments with delicious and colorful... rhombuses.

These snacks replenish your health, usually unevenly, which can cause you to change your color (more on colors below)

You lose energy when:

  • you move
  • you bump against the wall
  • a second passes

to survive in the long run, you have to time your moves right and eat your food only, when it is at its sweet spot (when it shakes). While in the sweet spot, food yields the maximum amount of energy and also raises your multiplier. So if you find yourself in a rather uncomfortable position, keep those combos going!

What's the deal with colors? 

You have three healthbars: red, green and blue. The higher red is, the stronger your swimming will be. the higher green is, the faster you can turn towards your cursor. And the higher blue is, the less speed you lose when moving. This means, that the lower your health is, the less control you have over your jelly and it might be too weak to make enough moves to survive.

Other kinds of food:

The white star replenishes a large amount of energy, but also shifts your colors from RGB to GBR. It is permanently in its sweet spot, but diappears a lot faster than regular food.

This kind of food can be your blessing or your curse. It inverts your colors, which means that you should definetly avoid it, when your health is high. When you're in a pinch, this snack will save your life.

This is the first game i've ever released, so feel free to tell me about your experience, thoughts, criticism etc. It would mean a lot to me. Feel free to submit your score to the online leaderboard as well! I bet you can't beat my highscore ;)

I'm having issues with exporting for windows etc, so I'm going to add the downloads later. Thanks for playing, though!

(This game is also the first entry of my series "Making and releasing 10 goddamn games to make sure my passion project doesn't suck". Thanks Tyler Glaiel!)
