Worked on designing puzzles and balancing the game's textless tutorial and difficulty curve.
A logic game about combining colors on a hex-based grid to solve combinatorics puzzles.
Colors combine and changed based off of the color wheel, and when two of the same color combine, they disappear.
When the board is clear, the puzzle is solved.
Intended as a "filler" game to occupy the time before meetings, a bus ride, or while code's compiling.
Uses a textless tutorial to prevent a language dependency.
Currently features 200+ levels.
