The concept is refreshingly original, and the game dynamic itself isn't too shabby. Kind of wish the colour selection fitted into the interface better.

Really cool game!

Very original concept! I could see this being a fun iOS/Android game.

Good game. I don't feel like a villain, but the puzzle game is well realized.

I'm not fan of puzzle game in fact but i will not low rank your game.

This is a really cool idea! But I'm of the impression that I can't really shot the colors into the directions I want to. Also, to be honest, I have no clue how this actually works and it's really hard for me to make progress.

This is a great idea, you could try making a version with additive color mixing. I found it a little hard to launch the balls, I thought it could be more intuitive to drag in the direction where you want the ball to go.

Concept is real had great time with your game.

Nice :3

Interesting and entertaining concept. The graphics are minimalistic but sufficient. It could need some sound and I think once you've understood the gameplay, the only thing that can stop you are bugs or stuck marbles I guess. One badly placed orb and you're essentially screwed up.

I didn't get it, sometimes I shot a ball into other ball and its color didn't change at all. Besides that, I can see this has a lot of potential!

Solid game. I like the idea of Dora's shunned color. There must be a plethora of other, unhappy, shunned items in Backpack....

This is a really innovative, casual game!
That kind of game you happily play to pass the time.
The ideal target to this is surely the mobile platforms.
Great work on this!

Thanks for all your feedback!

@betong: If the hit color didn't change, it's because it already contained the primary color you shot at it. For example: Green consists of Yellow and Blue, so it won't change if it gets hit by Yellow or Blue. You need to hit it with Red to turn it into Black. I know that the color mixing part can be a bit confusing first, but it's quite logical if you come to think of it.

What an adorable game you made there.
Took me a while to figure out how to chose colors in order to turn other colors into other colors. Then it took me an even longer while to be able to do something I wanted to do. Though I was not able to win yet. But I came to level 4? So I think I figured it out.

Awesome game. Great work. The graphics were best, the overall concept was awesome. Nice approach to the theme, angry little black that actually is just sad :(

At first, I am not sure how to play, then I got it, and it's fun!
I like your story, very cute :)

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-20 20:25

This is a great idea! Love the story and the concept :), Nice work!

But it could do with a lot of polishing. The Text-intro is way too long. Controls are unintuitive. It isn't really clear what to do. and it takes excrutiangly long until you can make a move again.

The story is really nice, and it fits the game.
I like the combination of color puzzle and ability.
It could be interesting to work on an enhanced version.
