Instead, Billy and the friends they recruit are attempting to restore the color in each black-and-white creature they "confront," and they do it through dialogue and simple minigames. You'll see that words like "battle" and "confront" are in quotes throughout the review, and there's a reason: there's no "battle" to be had. The main focus of the game-and the idea that sets Rainbow Billy apart-is its "battle" system. Joining Billy on the journey is Rodrigo, a sentient fishing rod-looking creature that helps Billy get around the world through swinging, gliding, and more. A massive water-faring dragon called Leviathan lays a terrible curse on the land, draining it of its color, and Billy must board his tugboat-named the Friend-Ship-and sail across multiple islands to solve puzzles, make new friends, and restore the world's vibrant colors. You play as Rainbow Billy, a denizen of the World of Imagination. The message alone makes the game worth checking out. It has a constant "glass half full" attitude, playing out through dialogue between characters that mirrors a lot of real-world situations.
