Use rainbow magic to fight back.</strong></p>\n<p>Prismatic Prey is a dark, casual survival game. Guide a lone white unicorn through an endless monochrome forest while a growing human mob closes in. There is no escape. Survive longer and score higher.</p>\n<h2>Collect the rainbow</h2>\n<p>Colored flowers are the only bright things left in the forest. Each grants a temporary auto-attacking weapon:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Red Lance</strong> pierces enemies in a line.</li>\n<li><strong>Orange Orbit</strong> burns anything that gets too close.</li>\n<li><strong>Yellow Chain</strong> leaps between clustered targets.</li>\n<li><strong>Poison Mist</strong> damages enemies across a wide area.</li>\n<li><strong>Blue Pulse</strong> blasts the mob away.</li>\n<li><strong>Indigo Gravity</strong> pulls distant enemies inward.</li>\n<li><strong>Violet Seeker</strong> hunts nearby targets.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Collect the same color again to strengthen its effect and refresh its remaining time up to the maximum duration. Keep all seven colors active at once to unleash the screen-clearing <strong>Prismatic Stampede</strong>.</p>\n<h2>Survive the hunt</h2>\n<p>Defeated enemies leave faint rainbow XP. Gather it to level up and strengthen every flower weapon. The mob thickens with time, and contact with the enemies can drain HP quickly.</p>\n<p>Dash through openings, manage regenerating stamina, and use each temporary weapon at the right moment. HP regenerates slowly, so every mistake matters.</p>\n<p>Play with keyboard, mouse, or gamepad. Control hints switch automatically when you change input method.</p>\n<h2>Controls</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keyboard:</strong> <code>WASD</code> or arrows move, <code>Space</code> dashes, <code>Escape</code> pauses</li>\n<li><strong>Mouse:</strong> left-click a destination, hold left to steer, right-click to dash</li>\n<li><strong>Gamepad:</strong> left stick or D-pad moves, <code>A</code> dashes or selects, <code>Menu</code> pauses</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Built for <strong>js13kGames 2026: Unicorns and Rainbows</strong>. Prismatic Prey uses a 320x200 DOS-inspired view, an infinite deterministic forest, layered DOM sprites, and canvas particles. Rainbow magic and blood are the only color in the darkness.</p>\n<p><strong>Trailer footage shows the expanded Director’s Cut, coming soon to Steam.</strong></p>\n","source":"lazarv/prismatic-prey","stars":1,"yt":"kVCBl4MpEcg","post":"https://github.com/lazarv/prismatic-prey/blob/main/README.md","languages":{"JavaScript":85622,"CSS":9525,"HTML":3594}}
