Jumphobia: Homeward Bound

Jump, skip, hop and leap in Jumphobia: Homeward Bound, an indie sci-fi adventure game! Go as far as your little wheel can take you! Play as a little delivery bot from a far-flung future controlled by the monolithic "MARE" corporation, and find your way back home through the perilous deserts, dead forests, and untold wildlands that lie ahead.

Storyline

Bounce into the distant future of Euro Nova, one of the last surviving cities on a scorched Earth after a century of corporate war. At the heart of this dark metropolis is a courier jump-bot who delivers packages throughout the many layers of the city, but finds himself in unfamiliar territory when he is uprooted from his humble workaday life and cast out in favor of a newer model. With the help of a newfound canine friend, he sets off on a journey to get back home - the long way round.

Yes, this game does build upon the original game's premise & mechanics pretty well, BUT I really do not like the fact that it breaks all the rules of visual heirarchy in trying to do so.

You've got:
1) Walkable platforms that look like they're background decor because they don't contrast the background enough (Semisolid platforms, Building roofs, etc)
2) Background decor that looks like walkable platforms because they contrast the background too much (PIPES ESPECIALLY)
3) Brightly coloured collectables in front of decor that looks like walkable platforms (See point 2)
4) A garish amount of Bloom.
5) HAZARDS. 👏 THAT. 👏 BLEND. 👏 INTO. 👏 THE. 👏 BACKGROUND. (See point 1)

And all of that has just.. killed the game's appeal for me.
