COLOR CODE

COLOR CODE presents itself as a hacking-style colour puzzle. The game shows a target colour, and you rebuild it by setting three sliders for red, green and blue, each from 0 to 255, then pressing the mix button to submit. After each attempt it tells you, channel by channel, whether to go higher or lower, marks a channel green when it is within five of the target, and gives a crown for an exact match. You have five attempts.

The page points out that luck is not the way to win: halving the range on each channel, a binary search, closes in quickly. In DAILY mode every player in the world gets the same colour, generated from the date, once a day. FREE mode serves unlimited random colours and adds a HEX input for designers who think in codes.

At the end the game makes an image of your attempts to share. It plays in the browser on itch.io with mouse or touch, its buttons and messages are mostly in Japanese, with English labels on the sliders and modes and an English description on the itch.io page, and the maker notes that AI assisted with the code.
