good job on getting out a prototype. I think if you add in some obstacles and also try to make it feel a littl bit smoother moving around it could feel a lot better to play :)

I love the interpretation of the shadows and alchemy theme. Very creative, game mechanics are very clean and easy to understand.

Great concept. The colour mixing is an awesome mechanic, and open the grounds to make a very challenging game in the future, once a variety of colours are added.

Would love to see how much harder the game can get.

Awesome job!

Cool concept! I would say that for accessibility to the colorblind you should make each color a different shape too, like a triangle, circle, or square and maybe add a key for people who aren't great with colors, and besides that I liked the music and simplicity! Needed a little something to spice it up, not sure but it feels like something is missing. Still great game!!

Conceptually this game is a lot of fun, if you haven't looked at "Baba is you" I would give that a look see as while it is a different puzzle game it has similar progression and the same top down view.
if you are interested in continuing this project I would love to see this become more developed.

Cheers, hope to see you next Game Jam.

Great puzzle! The simple idea is very interesting. I love the level progression. However, movement with WASD is a bit tedious. I think drag and drop with the mouse cursor would suit it better.

Thank you for the feedback! It takes a while to push the boxes around, I agree. Perhaps tweaking that to be faster would help. I thought about drag and drop, but the idea is that in a more final state, the game will have environmental elements such as moving platforms. Perhaps drag and drop is a better idea.
