When the guy in grey disappears. Hit [Space] to start followed by the [arrow keys] under the tub with the same color shown at the center of the window.

To enter the sequence you just did hit space again. If you did it right the sheet will be green and the color sequence will disappear. Do it wrong and it will be red, but you can try again.

Haha tricky! Instructions were a bit difficult to understand, you might want to rewrite them. Also, try to make it so you don't have to install if that's possible ;)

I have to agree to Ciaran54.. It's really hard to know what to do :o

I didn't really know what was going on, or whether I was doing anything right or wrong. It might be nice to have some sort of feedback when when you are trying to dye a cloth as to whether you have pressed a button correctly or not.

Yeah sorry, since I made it the control scheme of course makes senses to me and is very hard to explain. I'll try to rework the notes so others have an easier time.

It took me a while to understand how the game works. But on figuring it out, it was pretty fun, but hard. I'm bad at hand eye co-ordination games, haha!
I love the way the text changes in the game over screen. Its a funny and neat touch!

That ending screen is the best.

I couldn't run the game unfortunately. It crashed on running, never even saw the windows. Running on Win7.

I updated it so there's no need to install. @Starspell Did you check the folder that says "Install if I Crash _ OpenAl"?

Wonderful name, and a solid game.

The music drove me nuts though

I little hard to follow at first. Entertaining though.

I totally failed at this game. Seeing as I sometimes have problems with colors, I must say I expected to. But I had fun nonetheless.
Oh, and I liked the music too!

I feel like I'm in a David Lynch movie. A+ would be punished by a man in a grey morph suit again.

Controls a bit hard, but fun overall.

I was unable to play the game. Error: Unable to initialize. I tried installing openAI, but got same result. I am running windows XP home

XP is not supported, sorry. Win 7 is great if you can get your hands on it.

A striking representation of what hell might be like for colourblind people :P

Has a surprisingly compelling core mechanic! And I like the bizarre nature of the storyworld.

Like 4xisblack said, your game's random colors didn't have enough variance. *Argh* My eyeballs hurt.

Having said that, the game is really, REALLY fun! I made it up to day 9, with 22 worthy sheets and one abhorrent one, and after understanding your difficult but fair controls I feel fairly accomplished - which is rare for an arcade game :)

It gets really hard after lvl 6 or so. Fun concept, the false sound was a bit loud, and the graphics aren't the best part. But it's about the gameplay itself in the end :D

Sorry but this was too obtuse for me. Very interesting art style though!
