Huebound

Note: This game is now available on Steam! This version will act as a demo of sorts. It's fully playable, but will no longer receive updates.

Huebound

Mix light. Discover color.

Start with three primary colors. Mix them. Mix the results. Keep going until you've uncovered all 256 named colors hiding in the palette — from Amber to Zenith, from Cobalt to Dragonfruit.

Huebound is a factory game where your production line is a color lab. Place nodes, wire them together, and watch glowing orbs flow through your network. Every combination produces a specific color, and every color has exactly one recipe. Figuring out what makes what is half the fun.

Note: This game was built with AI assistance and is a work in progress. Your feedback directly shapes the next update — please let me know how it can improve!

How It Works

Sources generate colored orbs. Combiners take two inputs and produce a new color. Splitters fork your pipeline. Sellers turn orbs into Light — your currency for buying more nodes and unlocking new ones.

Rarer colors are worth more. A Tier 5 color like Nebula or Tiger Eye sells for 1,000x what a basic Blue does. The challenge is building the right chain of mixers to reach it.

The Loop

• 256 colors across 6 tiers of rarity, each with a unique recipe to discover
• Prestige system — reset your factory but keep a discovered color as a permanent starting source, making each run faster
• Discovery bonuses — the first time you sell a new color, you get a big payout
• Escalating costs — every node you place makes the next one more expensive, so layout and efficiency matter
• Shop upgrades — production speed, transfer speed, buffer size, sell value, and more

Details

• Node placement is strategic — shorter connections mean faster orb delivery
• Every sound is procedurally generated from waveforms — no samples or art assets in the entire game
• Colorblind mode available (Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia)
• Auto-saves between sessions

Controls

• Left-click — Place, select, drag
• Right-click — Node info / cancel / pan camera
• Scroll — Zoom
• Escape — Cancel / deselect
