Special power-ups in Splattercolors modify the visual display. They introduce temporary alterations, influencing aspects like brightness, contrast, and the overall color scheme. For example, activating a power-up might result in a high-contrast mode that emphasizes specific elements on the screen or a temporary color inversion for a unique visual effect.
These alterations provide distinct advantages. They enhance visibility in challenging environments or offer a tactical advantage by making certain game elements more prominent. Historically, such visual modifiers have been implemented to improve accessibility for players with visual impairments, while also serving as an engaging gameplay mechanic.
