Coloured Ink by BaneStar007

[raw]
made by BaneStar007 for LD31 (COMPO)
3 player game (Blue, Red & Yellow)

Droplets of Ink on a screen, if colours get too close they mix, strategically, you can win, but not by obvious means.

Click on a cell to add 1 drop of colour, own 4 cells to get +1 drop per turn.

this is more of an Engine build, to see if it was possible to have 'mixed races' form new races in a civ style game.

I had a hard time understanding the mechanics at first. Really interesting!

I have no idea of how to do any of this, but the concept is great.

Don't really understand it, but could be the start of something good.

I too am struggling to understand the mechanics. I did find that you can continually click the same spot to make it huge!

Some of those areas can get really big and obscure other parts of the board.

Yeah, you're adding more ink to the board, so the 'bubble' is to get bigger and bigger and start covering other players, mixing their colours together..

Can't quite get the mechanic, but it was cool messing around.

Interesting how the actual size of the space affects color spread instead of adjacency, but I wonder if that actually changes the playstyle at all? The net effect seems the same.

I did not understand the rules, but I love hexagonal board games!

I didn't really understand the rules fully, but it seemed like it could make an interesting game. Trying improving the speed from clicking a hex to actually seeing a change though, there is quite a bit of lag.

I feel as though this could have been an interesting game if the "mixer" was fixed and if there was an objective to the game.

Hard to understand the mechanics at play in this.

I don't really understand the win or lose conditions, but this feels like the start of a really cool territory based game like Go. Nice entry! :)

I don't really get it how I should play this. And it looked quite laggy for me.

this game was a bit confusing, wasn't too sure what to do. My friends and I had a fun time!

I honestly had no idea what I was doing to influence the game outside of just making colors larger.

Did not really get it. I like hex based turn based game, so I hope you improve on it.
