Here's a youtube video of me playing the game.

A very cool arcade game, brilliant idea, its like r-type and guitar hero. if you could do song generated levels i think it would be a hit. The healing mechanic was a great idea. I managed to get to level 7, it starts to get quite confusing.

The most cyber entry on this entire event I am humbled

Cool game, with nostalgia feelings, it reminds some flash games of 2000s where you change color to pass obstacles. Very fitting music and visuals!

The game won't launch and it tells me that a DLL file is missing :confused:

I think I'm missing some Microsoft Visual Redistributable

Very ikaruga but in a super hackers-esque retro style, love it

Honestly really cool stuff, very unique style from other entries for sure. I love that you can heal from staying in the correct colors, that's a great idea to use. The ONLY issue I really have is that the background was way too cluttered for me personally (that and I couldn't fullscreen which made it harder, lol). But, other than that, overall decent entry, good job :D

Neat small color matching arcade. Cool visuals, simplistic but at the same time complex controls

Cool nostalgic game! I wish you could play fullscreen, that may have made it a bit easier.

Had a lot of fun playing this one, the difficulty scales up pretty well. Well done!

super cool game brother!

simple idea that works well

I got some keyboard jam when traversing white sections :/

why so smol? fullscreen option would be nice (maybe i missed the option for it)

What a great little game! I thought it was pretty challenging. Kudos for the music, haha!

nekuake 2026-04-23 07:03

Quite fun and creative. I really liked the vibes, the music and the colors, and it's always cool to play a more arcade-take to the theme :)

ilari 2026-04-23 18:50

Cool idea and well executed! Well done!

sphone-official 2026-04-23 18:52

cool idea, gud job, but PLZ LET ME PLAY ON FULLSCREEN!!!!

Hey, this is really cool! I quite enjoyed figuring out the ebbs and flows of it, and once I understood I could mix colors, I had a lot of fun building up a bit of mastery. I did find it quite easy with a small amount of practice - I ended up quitting after about 1,000 points as it didn't seem to be getting any harder.

Very unique mechanic though! Have you ever played Ikaruga? It's a very different game, but has a similar sort of bullet hell dynamic where you change colors to protect against a certain color of bullets. I was wondering if this was inspired in part by that game. Either way, neat submission, thanks for sharing!

Very classic, control is smooth, and it's a little challenging for me.If I can expand the size of the game window,it'll be much better.Focusing on a small area makes the game harder.

rexpeppers 2026-04-24 12:47

Couldn't play the game cause I don't have windows but really liked that you included a video of you playing the game so I could get a sense of what you've accomplished... nice!

Super stylish one! How many levels are there? I'd like to see the final score after the death

kanity 2026-04-24 15:06

Very interesting concept! I love how when I tried pressing two buttons together, the colours combined into a new one. That was really cute. I love the small window and retro feel of the game. Visually it looks very pleasing, and moving feels smooth. The animations look smooth as well. Music is quite groovy ^^

evil-gaufre 2026-04-24 17:57

cool game :D

henk 2026-04-27 17:20

My poor laptop keyboard doesn't have enough rollover for some of the more advanced color combinations. One possible solution might be to map some of the color-changing controls to modifier keys or mouse buttons.

zbrogdom 2026-04-30 21:39

Thats a nice little game and cool mechanics

richard-baltrusch 2026-05-02 09:13

God bless that 3.6 MB download size :sunglasses:

Nice game! The music gives the game an energetic drive from the get-go and sets the tone well. Interesting colour mechanic - and I respect even fitting in some lore to explain it :)

If I'd have one small gripe, it's that on keyboard the left and right hand controls are a little close, maybe using something like I/O/P for the right hand could work better.

Nicely done!

2026-05-05 07:18

What a cool setting! The gameplay involves changing and mixing colors, which I find very interesting.

Up until now this is my favorite game of this jam, incredible work in this short time frame.
