Very cool concept, however as someone with mild colorblindness I found it very difficult to play. The Blues and purples you use are so close in value that there were at least different 3 color mixtures that resulted in what appeared to be the same color as my target slime, but were considered wrong. Other then that very cool.
Thank you for your Reply! Never thought about color blindness but you are absolutely right! What could I have done to help you? Just higher Contrast between the Colors?
Higher contrast helps a lot, I find adjusting the value of nearby colors works well without changing the overall feel. I.E. if you have both blue and purple having one be a light shade and the other a dark one can help a lot.
I loved the pixel art and animations! It took a second for me to realize I had to pour the coloring in the slots on top instead of directly into the washer, but once I figured that out it was really fun! A very cool game, especially as your second ever build!
Thank you very much! It took me at least about 12 hours to get these animations like I want them, so glad you liked it!
What a neat little game! You did really well on the aesthetic; excellent art (especially making swirls work in pixel art!), and good use of sound effects. The choice to use CMYK instead of RGB here is very good because that's exactly how printers work! Honestly, all you'd have to do is maybe add a bit more background art and a tutorial, and you'd have a perfect educational minigame for kids ( :
Thank You so much! For playing and your nice words! <3
It took me about 2 minutes to understand everything that I could do and how to do it, but when I did it was fun and somewhat a challenge as well :)
Thank you for playing! I try to find the right balance between a good tutorial and let the player figure out some things by themselfes ;) I think a bit more explanation would have been nice.
Very cute art style and excellent choice of music! I enjoyed testing my colour wheel knowledge :). I bit extra to the tutorial screen could be helpful, for a while I thought all slots had to be filled for it to work.
Thank you for playing! Yes you are right, I think I add it to the itch page.
Such a cute game! I think it's pretty good for it to be your second ever game, especially in 48 hours. I may not have the artistic eye you have but it was a bit of a challenge to get the first two colors. So I'd say start by creating purple or green early on, or a color that requires each of the bottle colors. Otherwise, it's a fun idea and a good one to play!
thank you! I guess it would have been easier with the rgb wheel but somehow I loved these colors. 😊
Very nice idea and very cute slimes ;). It would be awesome if you could add more colors for a full release, but otherwise very good!
Thank you! More colors and modes like complementary or harmony 😁
Cute idea and graphics. The slimes are very cute. The color mixing is a bit hard tho, and there's a bug where the bottles were stuck to the washing machine and wouldn't go back on the shelf. Good game and good submission!
Thank you for playing! Yeah I don’t know why this is happening, but it was still working! I will try to change it after the jam 😊
Really cute game, and great work on the music very catchy! The slimes are also very adorable. The sounds are also very good and give some nice feedback, hitting that seratonin. One thing is two of the greens are very similar and for me was difficult to tell apart, but that is so minor compared to everything else. Fantastic Job!
Thank you for playing! And thank you for the feedback! Yes these greens! Are the right colors but I think I will change them a bit 😄
Really nice art style - but my slime never changed colour :(
Did you put it in the washing machine? Then color into the small spots and then hit the green button. Slime must be inside!
This was wonderful! The slimes are really cute, and the art as a whole has a really distinct style. I got stuck on a certain shade of blue until I realized I had to make it with two colors instead of three, so it required the reset. Who knew washing slimes could be so addicting!
Thank you for playing and your kind words! I really enjoyed making it so means a lot to me that you like it 😊
I got 11! took me a few tries to realize I could add a colour twice
Aww 11 is very good! Thanks for playing! 🌺
More slimes! I like the color mixing, and the fitting "matchmaking" theme. I had trouble with the colors, in particular, there was this really particular blue I couldn't figure out. Guess I'm just bad with color theory! Or maybe just subtractive colors.
some colors are very difficult to see and guess. Even I made mistakes although I programmed it 😅 Thanks for playing!
Fun Little game, simple yet educational ha
Thank you! I guess it’s always nice to learn something colorful ☺️
Fun Little game, simple yet educational ha
Cool game. I got the same colour twice in row
As they are fully random this could happen, lucky you ;) thanks!
Fantastic presentation, love the art style/animations especially for such a short jam! Really fun idea too, I struggled a bit to start but feel like I came out of it understanding CMYK better than I did going in. Plus "joined together" applying to both the colours and the blobs getting together; nice!
Oh thank you!!! Yeah the cmyk understanding is a plus :D my kids needed to playtest the whole weekend, guess they understood it very well in the end :D
Really nice game! The visuals are so cuteee. Sometimes the washer doesn't change the colour of the slime, but this is so great to be made in 48 hours! Great work.
Thank you so much!!! <3
Cool track, graphs and overall feel! But I don't get it how You win:/
I think I have to wash the slime to a complementary color, but I cannot do it, and the only time I scored I did with the slime of the same color? How I should do it for bright green?
Yes you need the same color to win, complementary could be another mode. light green is by using yellow and blue, even lighter with some more yellow. The green colors are difficult to differentiate, i know. Thanks for your comment! <3
Ok, now I get it, yup green ones are a little to hard, and I started to guess the oposite colors on the wheel. Scored 13, cool game;)
Loved the game, bugs could iron out later
Thank you so much!
