An image of the key art for the game Colorbound. The main character Anku is blowing enthusiastically into a panpipe in the foreground. The background is a rainbow of watercolor with platforms reminiscent of what appears in the game itself. A screenshot from gameplay of Colorbound. The main character Anku is captured mid-jump between platforms. There seems to be a platform missing as well as a flag missing. There are paint blobs on a lower platform that need to be collected. How will Anku solve the puzzle to complete the level?

Key art for the game Colorbound. The game's logo is featured in colorful text on the left while Anku, the player character, is on the right. He is a young Ayamara boy wearing traditional Chilean clothes and blowing into a panpipe. The background shows bits of platforms, similar to what one might find in the game, mixed into a watercolor backdrop. An image showing a level from the game Colorbound. There are platforms of different colors as well as blobs of paint for Anku to collect. Anku is mid jump from one of the higher platforms; his end destination is unknown.  A scene from the game Colorbound. Anku is under a large tree with a white haired woman nearby--his grandmother. She appears to be visiting a stone with the name Eloy on it with flowers around it--the grave of Anku's grandfather.
