Everyone talks about unicorns. Rainbows never get the spotlight they deserve in stories.
That is about to change.

A top-down roguelite shooter where you play as the rainbow itself, armed with a shotgun, fighting off a horde of disgustingly cute unicorns.

The Core Mechanic:

The hero's body is made of seven colored bands, and those seven bands are both your health bar and your seven power slots.

• You start completely gray, with only one randomly selected band painted.
• Every time you level up, one band is painted and gains a power, chosen from three randomly drawn abilities out of the four available for that color.
• Taking a hit extinguishes the innermost band: you lose its power along with it, and your best card is always the first one to go.
• Go four seconds without taking damage and the band is restored, together with its power.

There are 28 powers, four for each color band, and seven tiers of unicorns, including a mother unicorn that splits into two when killed.

At the end, you face a four-headed hydra whose mane is made of seven stolen rainbow locks. Each lock you tear away kills one head: its eyes turn into Xs and its neck collapses to the ground !
