Our take on Rainbow Hero

The bounce point arrives when puzzles begin combining simultaneous character control with teleportation, laser paths, and moving platforms. Players who prefer solving one mechanic at a time may hit a wall when several systems must be coordinated within the same level.

What is Rainbow Hero?

Rainbow Hero is a 2D puzzle game set across painterly environments.

Each level combines simple rules with challenges that require planning and experimentation. Characters move on platforms that travel in multiple directions until they meet obstacles. Lasers can be redirected from walls to open routes, while teleportation moves characters or objects between locations. Some puzzles require simultaneous control of two characters, adding another layer of coordination. Other mechanics include opening concealed routes, bouncing balls, and rotating sections of the game world. A time-rewind function lets players reverse actions and test different approaches instead of restarting after every mistake. The game presents puzzles that may initially appear impossible before their underlying solution becomes clear.

How Rainbow Hero plays

01Multi-directional platforms
Platforms continue moving in different directions until an obstacle stops them.
02Laser redirection
Wall reflections can change laser paths and clear routes through puzzles.
03Dual character control
Some challenges require directing two characters at the same time.
04Teleportation mechanics
Teleportation can relocate both characters and objects.
05Time reversal
Players can undo previous actions while testing alternative solutions.
06World manipulation
Puzzle elements include hidden routes, bouncing balls, and rotating sections of the environment.
