"I Can Save This!" is a rough-around-the-edges mini-platformer made in 72 hours for Mini Jam 73: Power. The theme was “power,” which I’ve used in story more than mechanic (a moment of powerlessness and trying to regain it). The limitation was "only 5 colors," so the game uses...you guessed it...only 5 colors. 

These colors, in fact:

well it was worth the shot. it's a shame harry would distort all of my advices.

I tried these excuses for my girlfriend.  Ended up in an insane asylum.  Internet can't be trusted?

the game was very funny and looked good, but the control scheme kind of reeked.

When trying on both Itch.io and even playing through the desktop app, the game freezes/stops on the "Uhhh give me a second..." and I haven't been able to get past it. I thought it was a funny joke at first, but after 10 seconds I realized I don't think this was intentional (though I still find the timing hilarious).

Wait, nevermind, I hadn't tried pressing enter. I assumed I could just keep hitting any key to continue. My bad, haha.

Great game for a nice laugh

My goodness that ending though! Great game. But I did find a small bug, if you are in his head, so platforming, then you can reset the level with the enter key. But this also duplicates your character which leads to some funny situations. Awesome game!

Oh damn, good catch! Honestly, this version of it looks way more fun than the current game, maybe I need to just lean in to this.

this is hilarious and fun... A perfect ending!
