Neat, but kind of hard, and took me a while to figure out what was going on. Also I think it would be clearer if the player character looked different from the enemies.

Neat idea. It's really cool when you start to get into the groove of it!

Junction BoxA simple premise, but works! The moments when you have to move almost perfectly really add to it! Well done!

Paddle PaloozaI love the color theory, and your are similar with mine, but it's different. You focus on timing, mine is running. Nice work!

Color CombinerIt's simple, original, and fun. The idea behind the game is intuitive to understand and play, and I love the dynamic of being powerful vs powerless depending on the player's and the enemies' colour. I also figured out that if you position yourself just right in front of the enemies without touching them, they'll teleport over you without doing any damage. My only real criticism is that I wish that the player would stop right where the mouse so I could be more precise with my movements instead of just stopping a small distance away from the mouse. Some relaxing background music would be also nice, music can add a lot to the feel of the game.
You can make a great mobile game out of this! I tried it on my mobile device and it works just as well as on my laptop.
Wow, thanks for all this feedback! I'm glad you found it intuitive to play and the power dynamic between colors really interesting! I've had inconsistencies with the dash and I couldn't fully fix it in time, and it's really interesting you would prefer to have the player go right on top of the mouse's location. Music is something I would have added, but I was afraid of spending too much time looking for something that would fit perfectly so it just slipped my mind at the end. Again, thanks for the feedback, so happy to see you enjoyed it!
Love the mechanice - and feels very good to play - the blobs are a bit fast for me and I found the colours tend to clumb when you're trying to run away which makes it hard to go after 1 colour in particurlar if you're being chased by a group of 3, other than that well done.

Wrath Of The JarhandGood concept and neat minimalist design. It did take a while to understand the objective until I read the instructions more carefully.
Some sense of progression might be nice, such as starting slower with fewer enemies, or perhaps a wider viewport, since it seems quite challenging from beginning.
What you built in 48 hours seems very solid!

Big Dog & Little BirdVery original idea, nice work. I'll be honest, I didn't read any of the instructions because there was so much text. If you can introduce the core loop of the game without any text then this game will become great. In any case, this is a very cool game and I hope you keep it up.

Line BenderTricky at first but super fun when I got the hang of it. Sometimes you can accidentally pick up a color because it spawns right next to you which is frustrating. The start screen basically being a little tutorial was super neat and fun to play around with!

Let's Color!Nice job! I like the tension between defense (when you're the wrong color) and offense (when you're the right color)! I agree the enemy ai can be a bit tricky to follow, but the core loop feels solid!

Into The FoldFirst solo game in unity, in 48 hours, AND you actually shipped it? That's impressive

MARRIAGE HOCKEYI totally get it, it's the one thing I kind of wish I had added but it took me so long just to get the dash to function I was just so mentally exhausted. The game doesn't change over time, I found it just made the game too difficult if it infinitely scaled with more enemies or faster speed. I was thinking of making a more polished version in the future, so I'll keep what you've said in mind! Thanks for the feedback!
