Meet Right Eye,
He is in love with Left Eye and the two of them live happily together, blind to the perils that lay just outside of peripheral vision.
One day the dusty Pirates kidnap Left Eye leaving you to suffer retinal detachment and a bit dilated. Without her, your world is without color….literally! It turns out that you are color blind and many things are not visible to you any more!
Don’t be a lazy eye! Lift the lid on the Pirate's plot and save Left Eye in the ultimate eye test!

• Go sight-seeing through 3 unique worlds
• Use paint to patch the full spectrum of colors in the world

Why do you have to lose all of your colors when you die? (Can you make a sequel?).
Yes it's the whole reason we downloaded it… Well aside from it looking pretty cool. We feel if a game is free and decent it deserves 5 stars. This one is more the decent.
We love everything about this game the only thing we wish it was longer and or you guys should make a part 2 as soon as possible. Also the music is really cool and relaxing. Peace and thank you for an excellent game.
Even as somebody who is colorblind, we love this game. This game is a lot of fun and we really hope for a sequel. This game is a really fun adventure, and the puzzles are a lot of fun to solve.
This game adds texture to our colorless phone. With innovation that may offend the (actual) color blind, this adventure game redefines the 2D platform. We are in love with the concept this game is based on. Night after restless night we stayed up until it was completed and now that we have 100% beat it we find our self without sleep, searching for a game like it. (TotM comes close) Please make a sequel. Our soul yearns for it. P.s. Avoid ads by turning off data and WiFi while playing.
The game play is fun, the adds aren't to annoying and are fast or interesting. It's a great mobile platform game! Keep it up.
First off… We love Nitrome games, Ive played almost every one! But this game is the best… And could be better than Leap Day (which is like, the second best game). Im looking forward to Bomb Chicken and think that it will be better…..dont disappoint us Nitrome!!!!! (You never disappoint us).
A not-too-challenging but still challenging enough to be fun platformer. We loved playing this game and actively seeking out all the coins. Two achievements elude us, but Ive completed the game, the bonus level, and collected all coins. Theres probably a no death achievement, which we don't have the competency to complete.
We hope they come out with another one.
Every time a ad finishes when we play levels theres no sound.In a new update can you fix this.
Well played and designed! Once u start playing the game becomes addicting very quick. Once u know it, u have completed the game. We need more levels! ASAP.
Tight controls and a clever twist on classic platforming equated to a compulsion to play, play, play until we completed it. Yes, the ads are annoying, but thats how F2P games work. We opted not going premium on this one because we thought Id lose interest quicklythat wouldve been a better move. In sum, a simple and fun game worthy of your time if you like the genre.
Nitrome is at it again with another fun and intriguing game. We were always addicted to playing your games on the PC and was interested when we heard of this one. We couldnt put it down once we started.
Its a great game. To anybody comparing about ads, turn on Airplane mode. If youd like to support the devs, watch the ads. Simple as that! Id love to either see a sequel or an expansion.
Difficult in some places though, but very fun.
A perfect example of how game dev doesnt have to be complicated to be fun! The levels are well thought out, and challenging, and the characters are cute. Great job.
Thx for actually making a game there are so many candy crush copies around its nice to see a game that takes skill to create.
Hard and easy and fun! More levels please.
This game is a very creative way to play a platform jumper. Every time you die you want to play more! Its really fun and we would highly recommend it.
This game is REALLY fun and addictive we were so sad when we finished it but we would definitely recommend its great to just play when your bored or if you dont have internet LOVE IT.
This game is amazing and it's free! The art style is stunning and gameplay is fun an interesting. Please play this game.
This game is awesome, we love the simple looking platformer with such a unique twist. Really reminds us of the better days of gaming Ive had. Only thing we would say is to have an option to make the arrows(to move your character)bigger.
We played this on their website so much in around 4th grade, and Im so glad that theyre bringing their website games to mobile. We probably wont play this, but we know that younger kids will.
Seeing this game made us so excited that we want to write this review!!!!!! =D.
Just the right level of difficulty, crisp graphics and controls. Only minus is that its a little short.
We just want to say thank you for yet another amazing platformed game with a good soundtrack,Amazing visuals, and story bless you all who work at Nitrome.
Very entertaining and time consuming.
Im really love this game keep going.
Good job on yet another one of your fantastic games Nitrome. Keep it up.
Pretty close to an awesome game. Also dont really see how this is insulting because nobodys going to think color blind people can see through objects or just cant see them.
Beautiful story and nice ending . We come here again to check if there are a second part.
Before we get to the good idea we would like to say that it has good controls and we like the side-scrolling feel, but it would be nice to add extra power ups, 1.) invincibility, how you have to get it: use an eye drop to get it 2.) a game end power up, where when you beat the game, you get to destroy everything and anything you want.
This game is amazing and we always used to play it and to see that It was on mobile was great but if you somehow add nitrome must die and canary to mobile that will be the greatest that could ever happen.
Since we are color blind, blue blind… When it says if you see it is it really there? That hurt our sister who is mono color blind ( black and white ), and us. No, we do not see things that are not there, and maybe upgrade your title… Just because we dont see properly doesnt mean that color blind people are monsters like the eyeball in the game. We just have a condition. 1 in 10 people are colorblind… Put yourself in our shoes.
This is a great platform puzzle game for the iPhone and iPad. It would be much better if progress was synced between devices and MFi controllers were supported.
We really tried to enjoy the game but every two or three deaths we would get and add and we dont want to pay to get rid of them other than that its pretty fun.
Yet another win from Nitrome. We just have one beef, and thats the lack of support for a game controller. Platformers like this play great with one. Actually we have a second beef: its not available for the Apple TV. With game controller support, this would be a great game for the ATV.
Its very well animated and fun to play, but the controls sometimes just dont work (Im looking at you jump button), and the ads will sometimes lag out so we cant close them, so we have to log out and completely restart the entire level.
We kinda like it its a good game.
Love this game its super fun but the only thing that annoys us (besides dying easily) is that even if we have the sfx and music off on the game when an add pops up and we close it the music comes on our itself and we have to turn it off again, and same for when we die the music comes on again.
This game is hard but very fun and addictive.
We love in every way how the game looks, runs, and sounds. This is one of our favorite games on mobile to date. We do have one problem however, and that is with glitches. Some arent too bad and can be easily avoided, but as of late we ran into one that made it impossible to finish the level. If the devs see this, we will send you the link and hopefully we can solve this problem in such a wonderful game.
It is an awesome style and very addicting as we finished in 2 days with all coins, so obviously needs more levels but that isnt why we give it 4 stars, we give it that because when you finally get the awesome glasses you cam only use them for the bonus level and cant use them in the normal levels. We think it would be extremely fun to be able to take the glasses on and off with a button in normal levels but sadly, you cant.
Chill out with the ads!! You already have the player watch an ad to receive checkpoints, the ads between every other death are so unnecessary and annoying!! Honestly, other than that its a fun game, besides the usual challenging level, but it is a super fun game, just too many ads.
Awesome game, but too many ads with no option to buy the game and remove them. This game would get five stars if you could have the option of buying the game.
We like this game. It has a very novel gameplay concept. Thats 5 stars for that. -1 for ads that are too lengthy. Like 30s ads man. Another -1 for the bad jump control which doesnt make the character jump when the eye ball is right on the edge of anything you can jump off.
We really do like this game a lot. The old school style and look is amazing. Aside from a couple issues it runs great and the controls are spot on. The only big issue we have is after hitting a checkpoint with whatever color or colors you have already gotten. When you die and come back to that checkpoint. You lose your colors. Which can be a real pain when the color you need is back through all the traps and enemies at the beginning. Change that and Ill gladly give 5 stars.
This is one of the best, smoothest, most visually interesting and clever and tricky platformers Ive ever played – and HEY DO YOU LIKE BASEBALL? BUY MLB TAP RUN DERBY! – to think its on iOS! Its soaked in personality and brimming with heart and brain-bashing jump puzzles. And we cannot say eno – MORTAL STRIKE ATTACK! BLOW DOODZ UP BY TAPPIN UR SCREEN! NOW IN APP STORE BUY NOW! -ugh great things about this game. Someone clearly treated this as a work of art, a project of passion, with a lovable protagonist who – CANDY SMACK! CANDY SMACK! MATCH THE CANDY AND SMACK THE THING WITH YOUR THUMB! ITS CANDYRIFFIC! – you instantly fall in love with. We love everything about this game except for the consta- MONKEY FLIP! DOWNLOAD TODAY! FLIP THE MONKEY AND PAY REAL MONEY FOR BANANAS! MONKEY FLIP- -nt ads that pop up every 45 seconds that you cant even pay to get rid of.
Ok, so before we rant, we would just like to say that the graphics on this game are absolutely AMAZING!! We're impressed and thus game is lots of fun! But we do have some problems with it. 1) we don't think that you should have to pay or watch an add to get check points, because the levels are really hard and it's REALLY annoying to have to start from the beginning. 2) The buttons ( especially jump) lag a lot so we die. And it's stupid. 3) The levels are hard! Not even the second level is easy! Thanks for reading this.
We are on Pirate Factory Level 7, and stuck. We have played this level over and over for at least 100 times. Seems to be impossible. We get it, we know what to do. We are not asking to make it simple as we love a challenge, but cmon, you can at least make it passable. We would give 5 stars if only.
