Just in time for PAX, the release date has been set for Colour Bind, the unique puzzle game where gravity is determined not by mass, but by colour. Set for release through Steam and other digital distributors on September 24, Colour Bind is the pride and joy of Aussie developer Finn Morgan, who has been diligently working on the game for two years.

At PAX in Seattle, the team will be wandering the floor with a full-sized Colour Bind cart, giving presentations and dishing out early beta code from the roaming demo station.

Colour Bind is a physics platform-puzzler set in an abstract world where gravity is determined not by mass, but by colour. Navigate this unique world by manipulating colour and gravity to solve each level. Beating each unique puzzle in Colour Bind will take patience, intelligence, quick reflexes and sometimes even a helping hand from a friend.

If you’re at PAX, watch for Finn and Puppy Punch Productions, who’ll give you a demo out of their full-sized Colour Bind cart/roaming demo station.
