Metrico is a 3D-platform game, and levels often have simple colour-schemes. Typically, level backgrounds are a solid colour, and the midground may include visuals such as mountains, which are typically simple-toned prisms. Platforms are mostly simple-toned geometric shapes, such as cubes and 3D-rectangles.
