- 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.
