Tintle is trying to get home, but the route back isn’t exactly a straightforward one.
Tintle’s Great Colorful Adventure is a fast-paced precision platformer in which changing colours, teleporters and gravity manipulation all become part of the journey. It’s now available on Xbox and PC for those ready to take to the skies.
There isn’t a huge amount to the game beyond that core idea, but sometimes a simple concept is all you need – especially when falling into a pit is likely to make you immediately want another go.

Colour Is The Key
Tintle’s big advantage is the ability to change colour while moving through the game’s airborne levels. That ability forms the basis of the platforming challenge, with players needing to react quickly while navigating hazards and working out the safest route forward.
Teleporters add another wrinkle, while gravity manipulation means even the direction you’re travelling in isn’t necessarily something that can be taken for granted.
And you’ll want to be sure you understand, the emphasis here is firmly on precision. Deadly traps and hazardous falls are waiting for anyone who gets their timing wrong, so expect a few failed attempts along the way.
A Short Trip Into The Sky
With its bright presentation and straightforward premise, Tintle’s Great Colorful Adventure looks to be the sort of game that gets straight to the point. There’s no sprawling story or huge collection of systems to get your head around – just Tintle, a colourful ability set and a series of increasingly tricky obstacles standing between the adventurer and home.
If you’re fond of precision platformers and don’t mind being asked to make quick decisions while you’re airborne, Tintle’s colourful trip could be worth a look.
Tintle’s Great Colorful Adventure is available now via the Xbox Store in three flavours, playable on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows PC. Each are priced at £4.19.
