Directors Notes
I built this game mostly as a solo project in my free time after work throughout the week of the Game Jam. That said, I have credit that need/want to give:
Josh Hovis: Music and Sound Effects (along with general second opinion throughout the process).
Also a special thanks to my friends and coworkers who play test this game. I really couldn't have done it without all of their help.
My biggest take away from this Jam is that I really want to keep working on level and puzzle design. Everything else I got setup pretty easily, but I just struggled with puzzle design until the very end. I feel like I kind of cracked the code for what makes a fun puzzle in this game, but then it was to late. I would have also liked to explore more thematic elements in my game, but that's just a lesson for next time.
Thank you for anyone who has stopped by to play my game!

i love it!!! the idea is super good in my opion! yes, it can be pretty hard, but this makes you scratch your head and think: "if i take this color first and then this color, i will be able to pass when i re-color" sometimes, you just get tricked because there was one missing color place, so you needed to re-color right before you take teh new color. this game is really good, and the game was fun. :)
You should make another one with a neon color palat- and its like inside a buisness building
I was thinking about going back and sort of doing a "remaster". Just making basically the same game, but with the new things I have learned and without the time crunch of the game jam
YAS! I finally finished itttttttttttt super hard but super fun :D
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the challenge!
The level design was really smart and well placed throughout all of it. It made me think and was a fun little surprise for the game jam. Though it might seem simple at first I could tell that a lot of work went into it because of the smooth gameplay and intricate level design.
I really enjoyed playing your game! The main mechanic is somehow unique and the movement isnt frustraiting at all. I couldnt finish the game it was too hard. But to be honest: I also didnt tried it for very long (I dont like puzzle games that much but this one catched my eye). The game reminds me a little bit of Watergirl and Fireboy, a game I used to play in my childhood very often. Thats probably why I gave it a try and I wasnt disappointed! It was a short but fun experience and I would love to see a version with maybe better graphics, more gameplay (well designed levels) and a main menu. But even in this early stage I can fully recommend this game, great work!
