Most enjoyable game I've played thus far! Really well done! I had some trouble with the large bulk of text in the info tab, but after gathering some focus and reading it, I mixed my first color concoction! The ratios on the book were quite confusing at first though. I got the amount right but when I mixed it, the color was absurdly different. Other than that, the game is really, really fun. 9/10 from me; the interactive book is a cherry on top.

Thanks. I was worried the wall of text would be an issue as I didn’t have enough time to make a proper tutorial for the game. I’m glad you took the time.
FYI, the ratios are not recipes just clues to what the colour mixtures would be, in no particular order, part of the mechanic. Any tips on how I could convey that better for next time?
That you will need that specific number of colour dots for a specific of that colour. For example say you have a ratio 3:1:2:1, means one colour will have 3 dots, two will have 1 dot, and the last will have 2 dots. It doesn’t tell you exactly which of those colours it will be. That’s why I’m not calling it a recipe but rather a clue.
