Polara is a challenging and rewarding game that combines breakneck platforming with the color polarity system from games like Ikaruga and Outlands. Players must use their skills to navigate an oppressive regime by tapping the side of their screen to jump and manipulate the color of their body suit. After completing each stage, players can collect titular letters to unlock a special medallion.
