Once I stepped back and read the controls, the game is actually pretty fun and addictive! But I still think some of the information conveyance needs touching up. Like, I thought combining colours to make new ones was pretty neat, but why does red and green make blue? I think it would be more intuitive if you started with red, blue, and yellow and made complementary colours from there.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":947419,"author_name":"LDJam user 299757","author_uid":"299757","epoch":1683040741,"text":"Very fun, instantly became addicted!

It could perhaps have used an in-game tutorial screen to act as a visual aid. Once I got the hang of it, though, it was a lot of fun. It's easy to miss when the change occurs and drop a box a second too late, but trying to keep track of the boxes *and* the objectives is where the difficulty stems from, so that's fine.\n\nIt's always great to see PICO-8 entries, and this is a very enjoyable one.
