We both came up with a similar theme interpretation! I really like your execution and presentation, it's a beautiful looking game and the simplicity of the controls is clever. The puzzles were pretty tricky! My favorite design element was how you showed the new colors to cover without changing the control dots until the player moved them, it was a nice way to delight the player with their own action.
