A downloadable game for Windows

Please provide us with feedback: https://forms.gle/ZWUHWWa2QtVwTuyk6
This is a 3d colour-based puzzle game inspired by the likes of Portal, in which you are colourblind. This colour-deficiency is utilised as a game mechanic to provide a special set of challenges and approaches relative to other games in the genre. We hope that you enjoy stepping into this unique and often underrepresented pair of shoes, and taking a journey through a colourblind world.
The controls are WASD to move and F or Left-click to pick up/interact with objects.
CHANGE LOG:
- Full aesthetic overhaul (all rooms have much more detail now - you may notice that you are being observed from many angle now)
- Custom recorded game voice lines - narrative aspect implemented
- Gameplay improvements for every level (rewrote instructions for clarity, traffic level redesign and box level balance improvements)
- 2 brand new puzzle designs - "The Platform Room" and "The Quiz Room" (new gameplay mechanics, 3d assets, etc.)
- Game ending sequence and ability to win your prize $$$
- Colour changes to make the clues more useful, more clues, more lore/backstory through environmental storytelling (thanks for the feedback on that!)
- More extensive Audio / SFX
- Specially composed OST by Ark Music (link to his channel: youtube.com/@paul_cochrane)
- Level transition (elevators + passages)
- Intro room (basic tutorial and narrative introduction)
- Improved performance (collision simplification, etc.)
- Improved textures even further (fixed texture stretching in many places, added greater variety)
- Added more physics objects
- General bugfixes / quality of life improvements
Sorry but there isn't a web version due to a bug in the game engine so please download and play the desktop version (an improved experience regarding visuals, as well as responsiveness and performance).

It's criminal this game ranked below some of the others, especially since it got the highest number of rankings. Good effort guys.
Appreciate it dude! Yeah we're a bit miffed, as clearly some of the ratings were quite rigged (e.g. the 'game' that got 12th place with no title, thumbnail, or game - just an empty page lol) and we got at least a couple of trolls spamming us with 1 star rtaings but what can ya do. Glad you liked it, and the feedback has been very positive! Definitely some other awesome and well deserving games in the game jam too

Hey! Would it be possible if you guys provide macOS exports??? Many Thanks!!
Working on it currently
Theres a bug in room 4 where I cant pick the boxes once i put them on the scale
Looking into that now!
Edit: the bug has been fixed :)
Hey I found a glitch in room 2. When the timer on the bomb goes down to 1 it doesn't explode. it just goes back to counting from 5 minutes. Is this intentional?
Thanks for pointing this out! Still adding features to the game, and yes it's meant to explode that just hasn't been added yet haha.
Thanks for playing :)
Ok! Also if you need any ideas for any levels or need help with game designing, I can help!
Appreciate it! New build is out for the game with much in terms of features and polish, and further work is being done for the audio and bugfixing like the one you mentioned (that's coming tomorrow)!
