I don't understand the goal of the game. I am killing enemies but get no score. What am I supposed to be doing?

In order to get points you need to hit the enemies while having picked up the matching color. Once you have picked a color you can go to one of the two palettes and press E to mix two different colors.
Simple colors (yellow, red & blue) give 10 points, while mixed colors (green, orange, purple) give 100 points.
There is also a "how to play" within the controls screen in the options menu. A little too hidden, I guess :(
Thank you for the criticism. I agree with everything you said. I already have a to do list that will address all of these issues. Hoping to be able to work on it in the next few days.
I would be very happy if you check it out again once i've updated it!
Regarding the PS: Which buttons are you referring to? The MainMenu buttons are intentionally cut off. Perhaps it's a problem with the web version. I developed/tested the game for desktop, where it should scale everything according to your window size. I only quickly punched together a web version without any thought put into it. Hopefully i can optimize that a bit as well.
My PS was regarding the menu buttons (Start / Settings / Exit)
They are rounded buttons but the right part looks cut off. I expected them to be fully rounded buttons.
But most likely this is by design and just something I was not expecting. I think what pushed me into thinking they are cut off is that the buttons in the in game menu ARE fully rounded buttons.
I added a screenshot for clarity:
Thank you for your feedback! :D That's right, the mixed colors (green, orange and purple) base points without combo give 100 points. There was definitely an outro planned, but we worked up to the deadline, so some elements could not be implemented unfortunately! But we will fix the randomness in the future to make everything a bit more manageable and plannable.
We also really had fun making this game :D

Thanks for your feedback! :) We definitely like to tweak the gameplay to make it a bit more challenging and less random. Didn't have time left to do so during the jam.

Fair criticism. I really wanted to implement a better, more predictable system for enemy and bucket spawning. Given the time limitation the best i could do was randomizing :D
Thanks for playing!
