It was an enjoyable game, feels a lot like Shapez and Shapez 2. There's certainly potential there.

It would be nice to copy/paste, or to hold shift to place multiple of the same object.

Adding more "goals" or "checkpoints" would also make the game a bit more satisfying to play in the longer run.

The Spectrum Reset also isn't very obvious when you unlock it; I was about to quit the game before I even noticed it.

New patch: more settings, income and upkeep displays, node panel rework, some more debug options for cheating testing, and some bug fixes.

Game breaking bug: The buttons get out of screen as they are added, please add scroll bars or zoom

Thanks, a fix will be pushed in the next patch.

Fixed this just now! Thank you for the feedback!

New patch, Colorblind mode

New Patch, Prestige Mode!

https://danhicks853.itch.io/huebound/devlog/1404296/every-color-tells-a-story

Bug with prestige mode: I got my colors done until I reached the first prestige. Chose sky blue as my prestige color. 
Then I bought with sky blue, saw it was 45 too late and couldn't buy the blue + sell. So, I decided to load. 

Money is at 50, but cannot buy any color nodes or sell. I can buy red from the shop for 10$, but can't buy any nodes. 

Tried refreshing, loading, save and quit then reload... Nothing works. 

Thanks, I'll get that fixed in the next patch. Probably going to adjust all starting node prices to be the same as blue.

Probably a better way to balance it is that once you prestige, you have a default blue and seller already linked? Since it's pretty much starter money basically.

  • Heard loud and clear guys, Going to debug that droning noise out. That's what I get for testing while muted XD

    Also some planned changes:
  • Larger resolution
  • tutorial rework - I got some feedback on reddit that it's too hand-holdy, and that the canvas dimming is preventing gameplay, as some of you here said.
  • connect mode will stay enabled after creating a connection
  • Color mix will be fixed to be more intuitive. This is already working in my dev version
  • Adding on-hover recipes in the collection (Great Idea, @Acamaeda!)
  • Settings menu with volume slider
  • I'm also still experimenting with balance, so bear with me if progression gets boring at times. 
  • A disclaimer in the summary of this page stating that the game was made using AI assistance.

Tinnitus coming in clutch. Didn't know about the droning noise.

Fixed!

The droning noise was annoying so I tried deactivating it via menu, and it told me that the progress will be saved, but there was no volume sliders and when I got back into the game all nodes were deleted and I was too poor to buy new ones.

Fixed!

the idea is really cool. i was quite excieted mixing red and bllue to purple. but then i had to wait and it got boring rather quickly. not sure if my sound is broken, but i just hear one constant humming.

Fixed that humming noise!

I'm still actively working on balance, but I did add a game speed slider to settings for testing, feel free to check it out!

It would be nice to be able to see information about colors in the collection, both their value and recipe.

This was added based on your recommendation!

Is there any way to close tutorial pop ups? I already did what the pop up told me but it won't go away.

same for me...softlock by tutorial blocking my ability to click

Fixed! The tutorial won't be as annoying moving forward.

The tutorial has been reworked to be far less intrusive. Check out the patch notes: https://danhicks853.itch.io/huebound/devlog/1399453/the-please-stop-the-humming-...

This is a first release, I know there's some bugs, but I'm looking for feedback, especially on progression and balance. 

Next features planned are more nodes and a prestige system, if I ever figure out what that actually looks like.
