[Buckethead]

Great stuff. I've just played through the tutorial levels and enjoyed it lots. And I have a feeling I will enjoy messing with the editor aswell. 

[Akatosh]

About goddamn time. Downloading!

Third place and a "meh" review, yay! Thanks everyone for their kind words, it is always an earthheartwarming moment receiving positive feedback from fellows AGSers!

Excellent and fun puzzle game!  I'm impressed by the amount of programming it must have taken to do this.

Unfortunately...it doesn't work very well for one small portion of the population--those of us who are colorblind, like me .

So, next one I'll make will be SoundWise 

[yukonhorror]

maybe you could make a letter-coded patch for the game.  I.e. the red box would be red, but with an R on it.

Aww hell yeah!

Been anticipating this one...

That *could* be a very reasonable solution and a quick-to-implement one! I'm sending right now the sprites to the CW GFX people so they can see if there's a way to make a ColourWise version for colourblind people.

I cannot promise you nothing right now, but I'll keep you informed in this thread!

Makes perfect sense to use symbols as "overlays" to the colours, and I think it's not too hard to implement. Letters make a poor choice because with the amount of colours in the game, it will be hard to come up with unique names when you, well, name the colours. Symbols, though- no problem. Chuzzle did that, by the way- one of the very few games that actually care for such a small detail.

Congratulations on getting this a third place in the Eegra competition.  Based on the other games, I think it deserved at least second place, but you can't complain about winning money for a game you were making anyway!

I *did* give a name to each colour (albeit sometimes a strange one, like "carrot"), but I agree symbols are much more friendly, and neato

Congrats bicilotti,
This game deserves all the praise it can get, it sure took you and your team a lot of effort and work to make it.
I can see this game on other plattforms as well, mobile phones, nintendos, etc...
Great work!

[Buckethead]

Although I think Colourwise should have gotten first, 3th is good and 250 bucks is nice.  awsome job!

Well, of course, you should make the symbols correspond to some kind of gray code, perhaps?

e.g.

     |   |           |   |           |   |   
 +   +   +-  +-  +-  +- -+- -+- -+  -+  -+  -+
                 |   |   |   |   |   |

Ok, the hype has passed, I'm happy as a streamer to have finally managed to release it. So, a few words:

I want to thank all of my teammates; I was honoured to work with them all. I found it very stimulating developing ColourWise with you, I hope you found this journey interesting and symbiotic too!
During these four months I've managed to get to know your abilities and some of your future projects and I was impressed by such skills / visions. Best of luck to you all, I'm sure the AGS scene will hear from your fireworks very soon.

I'd like to say "thank you" to my stickam friends too. They have been like brothers & sisters for me, very supportive and very cheerful. Thanks!

Mhhh, Ghost and I were thinking of more common symbols, but I'll get through the wiki link too see if it is feasible! Thanks!
