i'm nub
DeepCrimson. how.
@beldinthereploid pretty sure Deep does something with scratch games. either they download and crack open the games and gets the newgrounds.io codes or something else.
Maybe they just have a good gaming chair
i think the game itself is ok, it's still more playable and responsive than some games here so that's good.
some critique:
- it's nice that the hint system is on by default, but personally i find it to be mandatory regardless. size and hue color are shades, and since the objective of the game is to get them exactly, having a number to guarantee that you got it is pretty much necessary. can't imagine getting even one point without the hint system.
- the timer is just enough to make it challenging, which is helped by the fact that you can get only one of the two counters exactly right and just scroll the other one until it goes over the correct number. basically as long as you get one of the two numbers right, you get the second one as a freebee. this is nice since having a system where it takes a second to register both correct numbers would be unfair against the timer counting down
- given the nature of the game (changing a value to be exact), there's an issue with the controls. the current ones are fine for what they need to achieve, which is change the values quickly enough. the issue comes with having to change the values by units. i kept quickly clicking back and forth because i kept changing the values by 2 instead of only 1, which is what i needed.
maybe add a separate control which lets you change each value by a single unit. maybe some control that, while it's held, lets you use the normal controls to increment/decrement only by 1? (i'm no developer so not sure how to achieve this, if possible)
anyway, not bad; though tbh the hint system alone is what saves the game from being a 0, otherwise it would probably be straight up unplayable

Thank you! :) I appreciate this review very much! I might try to work on these issues (especially the controls, as this is something that got me annoyed when playing the game). I think the separate control unit would be a great idea! Again, Thank you for this review.
