In Color Buster, you pilot a spaceship that will defend their home planet from an incoming group of asteroids. These asteroids are very sturdy! But your weapons are capable of destoying them. For that, you need to mix the proper colors so that the bullet matches the asteroid! A red bullet will destroy a red asteroid, a green bullet a green asteroid, and so on. Will you able to defend your home planet from the barrage of colorful asteroids?

Controls:

  • Movement: Use WASD to move around.
  • Sprint: Hold Shift to sprint.
  • Add Red:  Add Red to the current bullet Holding U. If empty, create a Red bullet.
  • Add Yellow:  Add Yellow to the current bullet Holding  I. If empty, create a Yellow bullet.
  • Add Blue:  Add Blue to the current bullet Holding O. If empty, create a Blue bullet.
  • Shoot Bullet: You can shoot your current bullet by releasing either all or one button you are pressing.
  • Mix Colors: To mix colors, simply add another color to the current bullet. You can either hold one then the next, or you can press both at once and release at once. However you prefer.
  • Color Combinations: Red + Yellow = Orange, Yellow + Blue = Green, Red + Blue = Purple, Red + Yellow + Blue = White.

Tips:

  • All of the colors combinations might be confusing at first, and thats okay! Try the Tutorial in game, and it will be much simpler than it seems.
  • You can shoot diagonally if you move up or down! if you can aim properly, its faster than moving towards a horizontal line of your target!
  • If you get confused In-Game, look at the Color Wheel in the left-top corner!
  • You are also a bullet! Kinda... Since both your home planet and you have 3 lives, sometimes, hard decisions must be made.If there is an asteroid you can't destroy in time, you have two options: If your home planet only has one life left, take the hit! You will destroy any asteroid at the cost of one life. If your ship has only one life... Wops! your home planet will still survive a hit or two, but its important you continue defending it!
  • I recommend using your left hand for movement, and the right one for shooting. Dont lift your fingers too much, or you will probably confuse each key to the one in the left or right. just keep 3 of them in the U,I,O keys. That way you will also associate each finger with a color in a few minutes!

This concept blew my mind! It was very fun to play, great job!

This was so original and fun! Had a great time playing it. Also, the tutorial is really well made.

i love the mixing colors concept, and the game is fun! the tutorial was really cool game/design itself too! purple is definitely the hardest color to shoot, but it's a fun dexterity exercise for my hand lol
