Game Description
The classic platform-style play of Rainbow Island gets an innovative update sure to please the game's old-school fans and hook a generation of new ones.

The game's look and characters are comfortably familiar, with vintage bosses, enemies, secrets, tricks, and graphics just like you remember.

This is not Rainbow Islands. This is a game that involves drawing a rainbow on or over an enemy to kill them....more
