i’ve been experiencing a bit of lag today; i’ll get it to the right color and then it takes 3-5 seconds to register that it’s actually correct. this is only annoying in that i’ll sit there staring at it like “what THERE’S NO DIFFERENCE” and then the message pops up saying i won and i’m like “oh ok.”

but i thought i should mention :p i’m using chrome btw.

uhhh so I’m using chrome, and all the text just looks like random keysmashing

the bottle names are like that as well (I didn’t even realise they were meant to be readable until reading this thread)

It did it again, where the color isn’t correct but it registers as right. Also, I have yet to see any letters/words appear. I’m on Safari as the browser.

See because I have the same issue on safari, and a notif pops up when you run out of every ingredient, not just one. for me on my ipad, if I click one too many times, it’ll run out and stop registering but I can still click the others if I wanted.

Im pretty certain in that case you used up every ingredient.

1. The game should no longer be telling you that you have run out of ingredients when you have not.
2. The game will end as soon as you reach the correct color combination, showing you a “verifying…” sign until it gets a response from the server, making playing on slower connections less annoying.
3. The sign has been moved up a bit so that you can still see the winning combination of ingredients after the game ends

:o reading this thread I’m only just now realizing that there’s supposed to be words! heehee ^.^ I’ve just assumed all the boxes were supposed to be blank for right now. I am on Safari.

As an artist, I really love this game. It’s way easier to keep my attention and grind with this than with cave in, so I hope the nuggets are worth it when we actually get prizes!

i see a lot of people mentioning that color strip in the middle, and i know im basically pointing out something that everyone else already did, but i agree- i have to squint and brighten my screen to tell, and even then it’s difficult. at my last eye appointment, i was told my eyes were fine, so i’m pretty sure it’s not me. (i mean, sometimes when im tired my eyes fog up and THEN it’s me but you know)

but besides that, it’s a very aesthetically pleasing game, and the colors aren’t too bright or vibrant

I have a few questions regarding game mechanics and a small suggestion on payout :D

(Sorry if this is confusing, I don’t really know how to word it.) For each different recipe, is there only one possible chance to get the colors right? For example, combinations like 3/1/2 where if you mess up, there isn’t enough of the other potions to make up for the excess of mistake potion. Where on the other hand, the combinations like 2/1/2 can also be achieved at 4/2/4. ....did that make any sense?

So my other question is, does the game even work that way? To me, that’s the way it seems.

This brings me to my payout suggestion! If the game does work that way, maybe the payout for combinations that can’t be fixed if you mess up can be a little higher than those where you can fix the potion? (Maybe by 5-10 nuggets?) I also agree with Tarot’s on the suggestion that there could be little potion vial apparel items as rare drops from the game. ;w;

the combinations like 2/1/2 can also be achieved at 4/2/4 [...] does the game even work that way?Paladin

That is exactly correct :)

Definitely my favorite game. Colorssss *q*
although I def have some kind of yellow/green colorblindness haha because some of those are the colors I always miss because I’m like uhhhhh it looks the same to me but it’s not verifying so it must not be |D

Echolocation never clicked with me. orz
and Cave In just feels like I have less control. hah

It’s a lot more relaxing to play I suppose. And kind of a random suggestion, but I feel like sound effects/music would be nice. possibly. I know part of my enjoyment when playing TwoDots for example is the bg music heh
I do listen to my own music when I play because I don’t like sitting in silence? the distraction is nice when “grinding” anything

I didn’t play much when it didn’t reward nuggets. it just seemed like a waste of time >o>
so yeah
/shower with data

Decided I would post an example of the color being indistinguishable to me but not awarding nuggets. I know it’s a topic a lot of people have brought up (myself included) but I think it needs a visual example in case it is supposed to be registering but isn’t in some cases.

the difference is hardly even there haha

I can’t see a difference at all between the two

Ahh I have a few other comments and one question because my other post was entirely about game mechanics :<

As for the (rather silly) question, is the ingredient named “Candied Cryst” supposed to be “Candied Crystal”?

As for the comments, I really like the game! It feels really natural for me and sometimes I get recipes in seconds :’) (Many people probably do that but it still feels good when you achieve a few really quickly) The art is incredible (props to Myly) and I love the lil’ wizard/witch bird in the background! The names for the ingredients are fantastic as well. -w-
I have a tip for players though! For the colors that are almost indistinguishable, tilt your computer screen a bit, it should help the colors contrast. If the colors are really close and you are almost certain it’s a match, try adding one of each color/ingredient if you can. This doesn’t work for all of them, but its worth a shot. It might be something weird with the coding? I’m not exactly sure why it does that, but it has worked for me before.

Now for suggestions to the game, maybe there could be a mode that allows a combination to have zero of an ingredient and just be comprised of 2 ingredients. I think there being one of each ingredient makes the game a bit easier, so for a more challenging mode, could that possibly be removed?

However the game ends up being finalized, I’m still very excited for it! It’s a game that I don’t get bored of easily because I absolutely love colors and color theory, so I can grind in it better than echolocation or cave in. Thankyou to the MC team for a wonderful game; I don’t think I’ve ever come across a game like it! ;_;

For those of you suggesting to make the potions as rare-drop equips. :)!  They aren’t dropping yet, but you can play with them in the magic puddle.

I’ve also made a different version of the background with a bigger bubble; that’ll be up as soon as glitch can find time to mess with it!

Paladin:  Oh my gosh, yes, when we were testing the game, one of the test rounds we did allowed for either 2/3 or 3/3 colors to be used and it did make it a lot harder, especially if you had two colors that we sort of close-ish to each other. XD

Aaaaaah. Finally bottles!

*wibbles*

How rare is a rare drop?
Is it possible to get percentages for perspective?
(If that’s available information or if it has been decided yet.)

Eyry: I know just the song for this :D In all seriousness though, that sounds like an interesting idea, I’ll need to look into it :)

Roan: In every game it’s possible to get the difference between the colors to zero but because of cases like this the game accepts anything with a Cartesian distance (sqrt((r1-r2)^2 + (g1-g2)^2 + (b1-b2)^2)) less than 2. In your screenshot there’s a distance of about 4.2, which indicates to me that maybe our “grace value” of 2 is a little too low.

Paladin: Heh, when removing the requirement that there be at least one drop of each ingredient, my success rate went from ~95% to ~40%. Basically my strategy is: put one drop of each ingredient in, and then just click whichever color seems like it’s “needed” the most. You’d think that the strategy would carry over but interestingly I found myself entirely unable ;)

Akira: Currently it’s zero ;) as for what it will be, it’s currently undecided, but when it rolls out it will be unannounced. As you play you may suddenly find yourself with a potion, or you may not.
