Black was sad.

Black lived in Dora's paintbox. And Dora loved to paint. In the five years, two months and sixteen days of her life, Dora had painted three hundred eighty-five and three-quarter rainbows. But not once had she used Black.

So Black got angry.

In his anger, Black started to shoot colors at his former friends in the paintbox. By mixing them with parts of himself he tried to turn them into black, too. If he couldn't be part of Dora's rainbows, nobody else should be!

Black knew, that if he could outnumber the other colors, he would win. But he also was aware that he only had a limited number of shots to achieve his evil goal before he would have to surrender.

And thus the fight began.

How to play:

Billiard meets minigolf meets color mixing! Click on any instance of Black, drag and release to shoot a primary color (Red, Yellow or Blue) in the indicated direction. Press key "1" to select Red, "2" to select Yellow or "3" to select Blue.

If the color you shoot hits another color, the hit color will be blended with the shot color (e.g. hitting Red with Yellow will turn Red into Orange).

You'll win if -- by clever color mixing -- you have more Black objects in the game than Colored ones. You'll lose if you have no more shots left.
