Use of the limitation
The plot of the game revolves around a player character who's been split into multiple parts, each locked up separately, and is now trying escape using the not-necessarily-well-intended aid of another piece of themselves...

None - but I had some ice cream!

The aesthetic of this game is top-notch. Really something special with the music, the writing (the joke about the locks being made in a weekend really made me laugh), and the presentation. I didn't really understand the story at all, but it left an impression on me for sure. I'm amazed this was a one-person effort!
Mechanically, I really found this game more frustrating than I would have liked (ok, it looks like it needs more red, and now -- ahh, it needs more blue, and now it needs green, and now more red, etc. etc.), and I wish that there was some sort of auto-reset if you input too many colors so you're not in an infinite loop of feebly changing colors.
Thanks for the compliments, and the suggestions - we'll see if we can figure out how to implement some of those in the future! There's a soft reset going on in the background when things get a few too many colors deep, but a fuller wipe (or even a turn limit) could definitely be interesting
Great idea and implementation! Good job!
For those looking here rather than the game page itself, I've posted the Answer Key there - some of the locks are a bit funky, so worth a look if it gets finicky! Thanks for playing
Very neat vibe and narrative! The puzzle aspect got a little convoluted after a bit. Once I got to the keyhole with the swirly things on it, I wasn't quite sure which color I was supposed to be matching to.
Thanks so much!! Some of those locks are definitely harder to parse than they probably should be - maybe something we'll tweak should we do any updates.
