Darnit, this one doesn't seem to be playing nicely with my UMatrix extension, but I'm not entirely sure.
When I'm playing in solo mode, I'm seeing a base color for a couple seconds, and then am shown three sliders on the left. Presumably as I slide them around my guess color should change to match, but nothing happens. Actually I have no idea what the 2nd & 3rd sliders are for, but I'm guessing it's to fine-tune my guess? This game could really use better instructions, in any case.
Yeah I haven't quite figured it out either, just seemed interesting on an initial playthrough.
It seems like the first slider is the main color, the second fine tunes between the colors of the first slider, and the third adds a darker or lighter hue. I've been messing around doing a screenshot of the target color just to see how the sliders work in general but I haven't mastered it yet.
But... does the visible color change in response to you messing with those controls? That's something like I feel I should be seeing but am not. Is it different on your end?
Btw, I'd completely forgotten about this community, and was in fact doing preliminary work on creating a "WebGames" or "BestWebGames" place on my own. It would have been my 2nd community after I'd successfully created my first one, 2.5yrs ago. You can see sort of a "top ten" list of games I would have added around the middle of this post:

The sliders appear to be for hue, saturation, and lightness.
Question is-- is the visible color changing in response to your moving those controls?
For me it does; moving the second slider to the bottom makes the color grey, and the third one to the bottom black.
THanks! For some reason it finally worked when I ran the game in a private window.
Oh yeah, if the color doesn't change when you're dragging the sliders something's wrong.
I pretty much just threw this place up bc I missed the reddit space, although when I check over there these days there seems to be a ton of crap compared to like a decade ago, though it seems like something interesting always rises to the top of the month at least. I was hoping more people would put stuff here but I've been pretty lazy in promoting it, so maybe your place would do better :)
Yeah, r/WebGames really took off in terms of visibility, but it also had a weird downside, in that so many amateur devs started posting their projects there (seriously, like several per day), that it seems like the userbase suffered 'new game fatigue,' and consequently started downvoting almost everything, which is... kind of depressing to me. So the sub as a whole now has this toxic, careless vibe that I don't think used to be the case. It's very strange, in some ways. So unfortunately, not a friendly, inclusive place IMO.
What I had in mind on the Fediverse was to do a solid job with game curation (as you can see from my list), and try to carefully show off any game I was going to share. At least 1-2 posts per week, but probably even more in the beginning.
Along with that, I planned to create a running list of rated 'best-of' content that would probably be pinned or referenced on the side bar. Note: it would be crystal clear that these were my picks, separate from your own list you might make, for example.
Maybe something that would work is me creating a couple sample posts of what I have in mind over here, and see what you think. Ideally, I'd prefer not to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.
