will it ever be good enough? got existential there. thanks for the reminder haha. i really like the name of your game, but really don't like not getting it right multiple times aaagh! it became masochistic at a point and then i was like "aha!" i got caught in the loop. well done!
Bit existential, yeah... hahaha! I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience, thank you so much for the comment!! :)
You really brought the story into the mechanics. Well put together!
Thank you so so much, it means a lot!!! :)
Interesting take! And very well executed – thanks for this experience!
Thank you so much for the comment, really glad you enjoyed my game!! :)
Pretty smart, you almost got me for a few seconds haha! Nicely done, an actual “working” version of this would make a fine mobile game
Thank you so much!! I would reeeally like to release it on mobile actually! :)
I guess it is more an art, than a game. But it was a nice finding in my way through the jam games, love it!
Fair enough, I went very experimental with it haha! Really glad you liked it, and thank you for the comment!!! :)
Pretty game, relaxing but also not relaxing :D Nice sounds. I think that adding different color goals could make it more fun.
Definitely not relaxing hahaha! I actually considered adding more colour goals but in the end I decided on just having the one, just to represent the point of "finding perfection" more clearly. It's a totally fair point tho and I might add it in the future, so thank you so much for the feedback!! :)
I swear i got really really close ! Reminds me of when i did graphic design and spent way too much time trying out 150 different colors before making a choice. Very cool idea !
Hahaha totally relatable! Thank you so so much :)
Love the concept! I didn’t notice the description at first either. I think if you made it possible to actually reach the goal, it could add a whole new layer of interest. But of course, that might mean sacrificing the main idea about the impossibility of perfection, which is also really cool in its own way)
Thank you so much for this comment!! I mean, technically I coded a different message if you actually reach the goal! Thing is, I haven't been able to actually test if it works, and I'm not sure I'll ever see the day haha... really glad you liked the concept! :)
I found it difficult, I couldn’t even get through it once lol
That's totally fair, because it's pretty much impossible to reach "perfection" haha! ;)
why did a color matching game make me emotional... so good
You don't know how happy this comment made me... thank you so so much!!! :)
Really simple yet very compelling. I could imagine sitting there trying over and over… and over.
Nice work!
Thank you so so much!! Glad you liked it :)
I kept trying over and over and I was like "why can't I get this?" and then I scrolled down and it all made sense XD creative concept and satisfying clicking audio :)
Haha exactly the reaction I wanted! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment :)
pretty good game, i wish this game was more known
Thank you, that means a lot! :)
Love the audio! Gameplay wise if you are uncapable to mix n match colours it's not as enjoyable as it could with a couple tips for noobies haha
Thank you so much for the feedback! Will keep the colouring tips in mind :)
