How To Play
"Colorful Roots" is a fun and challenging puzzle game that combines math and color. The goal is to match the target number by combining or taking the roots of the given numbers. But be warned, taking roots not only affects the number, but also the color. And when combining numbers, the colors mix just like in real life! It's important to think ahead and understand the order of operations.
The game utilizes Mixbox technology to accurately mix colors, overcoming the common problem of blue and yellow not producing green in many other apps. Because the game is on WebGL we chose the old flash game UI style and we believe it fits the game better than expected, providing a visually appealing and unique puzzle experience.
To play, simply drag one number onto another or onto the root symbol to obtain the correct components. When you believe you have the right answer, drag it into the box next to the goal to complete the level.
We hope you will have fun!

I think this is the most interesting take on the mathematical take of roots. Could use some player feedback and level transitions!
Really cool concept and the game is polished, tho the colors are a bit hard to mix
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah it becomes a little harder than expected, especially if you play the last level lots of 1 can multiply for the right tone :D We also played your game and that was really fun and pixel art was great!
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it.
Had a really tough time mixing the colors to get the exact color that was wanted, so I didn't manage to get past the second level. The concept is very clever, and it's a cool applied game for learning maths and colors. Really liked it!
