Cool idea! I kinda felt like I went from a dark wizard to a light one by the end. It took me a while to figure out how to keep my chroma up so I could one-shot everything. I tried from the start again and realized that by prioritizing E over shooting I could get to full chroma pretty quickly.

Dodging the enemy attacks felt pretty good. It is kinda hard to aim, dodge, and time E presses while moving around, but that sort of makes you prioritize what to focus on which is cool. I would have loved some more variety of sound effects and artwork. Nice job overall, it's a fun game :)

  • I like the tip text between the early waves
  • Glad to see another enemy type join the mix.
  • The waves could feel a bit same-y, probably something where more enemies or different distributions of them could have helped
  • There wasn't too much strategy necessary to clear the waves past spamming E and wiggling around a lot. Maybe leaning into different types of chroma enabling different things could have been a way to spice things up?
  • Some background music would have been a nice addition
  • Made it to wave 10!

Good idea! I agree with the comments below about changing the E key to steal for a different thing. Right click looks a good candidate, as mentioned.

I also used colors as a backing story for my jam game :)

The idea is fun !
Stealing with Right click could easily solve the awkward controls.

Spamming E to steal while using WASD to move feels a bit awkward. Otherwise, the game is fun to play!

Fun concept with the absorption of different colors to fill up your RGB bars.

I would have liked having different abilities for each color for example :)
