Royal Squared Color (stylized as Royal² COLOR) is a colored remake of the GameBoy Jam submission Royal Squared from 2016. It is based around the main protagonist of the V2A SP sub series, Kvarol (King Square). Kvarol is in charge of getting through various areas in SP to find his brothers and return to the main timeline.
The game was developed for ME-OS and development has started as early as May 2018. To repeat the pattern of the first Royal Squared, all of the work has been done by Octopus58, including coding, remaking the existing tiles but in color with more detail, and re-remixing the soundtrack of the original plus creating new songs for new areas. This was the first platformer to start development on ME-OS.
Unlike it's jam predecessor, Royal Squared Color was made to fit a 16:9 resolution, allowing the player to see more of the screen. Due to the increase in resolution, scaling issues were fixed using a pixel perfect camera scheme. The color version has much more polish due to the fact that this game didn't have a due date on when it should be finished.
Gameplay
In this game, you play as Kvarol (King Square). You are able to charge, which is a very useful movement throughout the game. Charging allows you to keep moving as long as it is held, and can carry you large distances. You can also jump and walk like in most platformers. There are many obstacles in this game such as ceiling spikes (that fall when the player is near them), ground/wall spikes (that hurt the player when they touch them), Rones that roll around the ground and hurt the player on collision, and more. When the player is hurt, he gets respawned in the beginning of the current level. The game originally ended when the player finds Soverdat (Supreme Square) at the end of Zelosian Plaj.
The color version of the game, in contrast to the 2016 original, brought three new routes. King route, Supreme Route II, and Impossible Route. Each route has its own set of levels which you can go through by completing the route prior. Additionally, this version of the game has unlockable skins/purchasable skins to play with.
Multiplayer is another highlight of the game, as you can see the people who are currently in your MultiME party, with their own skins.
Routes
Supreme Route: Endless Forest, Infinity Core Caves, Zelosian Plaj
King Route: Lava Lake, Pink Oasis, Pearl Palace
Supreme Route II: TBD, Acidic Icecap, Galubian Snowlands
Impossible Route: TBD, Squared Palace, Time Hole
Plot
The events of this game take place around the same time as Guppy's Quest. Shortly after Guppy leaves to take control of the timeline created by Chronotvar, Kvarol and his brothers Soverdat, Kusik and Karbik follow him to slow down the amount of opponents in Guppy's way. After Kvarol finds all of his brothers, they all return back to the normal timeline.
Development
Royal Squared Color had a very experimental development cycle. As much as Octopus58 wanted to create a colored version of Royal Squared, he was unsure of whether to make the game stand alone or to put it in ME-OS, as the idea of this OS with many games and programs was not final. The decision was made to put the game on ME-OS as the OS had no games at all at the time, and the color version got more detail and polish on art and music, along with mechanics.
After finishing the first route, he decided that he wanted to add more levels to the game, and therefore decided that the game was not finished yet.
Music
The music in the game is composed by Octopus58. All the songs are remixes of previously existing songs.
| Track Number | Song Name | Location | Preview |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Save Rush (color remix) | Endless Forest | Listen on YouTube |
| 02 | Blizzard Whip (color remix) | Infinity Core Caves | Listen on YouTube |
| 03 | Tide Luminescence (color remix) | Zelosian Plaj | Listen on YouTube |
| 04 | Splitventure | Lava Lake | Listen on YouTube |
