  • Great job! Well communicated design and mechanics. Combination and obfuscation really played into the theme well. Tiny nitpick, if I was running and jumping I could not also collect a color. I know that's a slim use case but just a note. I would love to have some info as to the "why" of the colors, as it stands it's a standalone mechanic that didn't really make sense within your story. If I didn't get far enough due to limited time, I apologize, but from where I got it felt "tacked on" thematically.

- You can hide from those lights by creating different mixtures. The color of the mixture will allow you to bypass a camera of the same type.
- At first, few options are available but the levels become morecomplex as you go, with the possibility of holding two mixtures, one in each arm.

Controls :
- Q > grab a component in your left arm
- E > grab a component in your right arm
- Left click > uses left arm mixture
- Right click > uses right arm mixture
- Hold click > shows preview
- Opposition click while holding > cancels aim
- Spacebar > jump
