From Press Release:
September 11, 2026 — Use color to solve platforming puzzles and bring the world to life when Colorbound launches on October 12 for PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Humble), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 1 and 2.
In Colorbound, you guide Anku — a young Aymara boy with the power to reshape the world through color — on a heartfelt puzzle-platforming journey to reunite his late grandfather’s band for one last tribute performance.
Collect colors onto your palette which can be used to overcome logic and light platforming puzzles. From lush forests to forgotten cities, Colorbound’s overworld offers a variety of mind-bending puzzles that span a variety of locations and aesthetics. Not all colors behave the same way. Some may be lighter, allowing objects to float away once painted, while other colors are heavier and may drop down.
Features:
- Challenging logic and platforming puzzles to overcome
- Multiple physics-bending color-based powers to experiment with
- A variety of locations, from lush forests to forgotten cities
- Art and music inspired by the rich culture of South America
- A heartfelt, universal story of love, loss, and the power of art
Colorbound draws inspiration from the Aymara culture of the Andes, blending traditional music and art styles with an indie-gem-inspired puzzle platformer experience. Informed by Panpipe Studio’s Chilean culture and heritage, Colorbound celebrates the rich culture of South America while delivering a universal story of love, loss, and the power of art.

A Farewell Tour For Your Grandfather
