Controls are fine although it would be good to see which color is currently selected. What you should really improve is the beginning of the game. It would be a lot better to have ingame instructions which teach you how to play the game and not get overwhelmed by the different gameplay mechanics."},{"author_name":"lochmann-apps","author_uid":"52509","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:39pm","epoch":1429626840,"text":"@TeamCalcium:\r<br\/>Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, the beginning and the instructions are really missing, you'r right.\r<br\/>You can see which color is currently selected in the weapon-model, but I guess this isn't obvious enough."},{"author_name":"DarkwindMedia","author_uid":"50680","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 2:20pm","epoch":1429712100,"text":"I had trouble quitting the game.

Also, there should have been more then one phrase then colors mightier then the sword. Get's pretty old pretty fast. Other then that, the game is quite good.

Took me a little while to get the hang of it at first plus you challenged my color mixing skills. :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The bubbling color fountains worked well in that I wanted to stay far away from them.

Love the presentation, the blob enemies look amazing, the environment effects and stuff are pretty great. The controls are pretty good, I can't think of a better system than what you have for the colours :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sometimes it gets a bit too dark to see, I think you could have brightened things a lot more. Maybe it's got to do with the filters you slapped on. (Aberration is awesome in free unity I agree :P)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The way the blobs moved slowly then charged super fast when it moved into a hole was weird.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>ARRGH WHY IS THE MOUSE NOT LOCKED TO THE GAME\r<br\/>\r<br\/>How do the blobs actually move towards colours? It seems like there's a weighted system of it finding an average spot between all walls of the colour it's attracted to? It's not very intuitive, and caused them to just plain get stuck, while you have to go paint them and some other wall another colour to get them moving - which I understand is part of the puzzle, but seems lanky and inelegant, as you'll end up spamming all the walls. And then they eventually all turn black, and that sucks."},{"author_name":"Awpteamoose","author_uid":"21326","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 1:41pm","epoch":1429882560,"text":"I dunno, I'd like to see how far can this mechanic be taken."},{"author_name":"PushmePullyu","author_uid":"2817","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 2:09pm","epoch":1429884240,"text":"Made me flashback to mixing every color of clay into one big brown glob.

Probably one of the best takes on the theme so far plus I like the fact that you actually went out there and made an online editor for people to share their own levels.

Interesting all around. Chrome and Unity don't play well together but I got over that. It is a good\/inventive puzzler some of the hitboxes on the paint globs are wonky but it was still a fun well made game. :)"},{"author_name":"HotBoxGames","author_uid":"39707","time":"May 3, 2015 @ 3:15pm","epoch":1430665800,"text":"Nice entry!
