“the music was neat”
“Hue is a nice puzzle-platformer. The devs have leveraged the potential of their idea of switching between colours to offer a nice variety of puzzles. Some puzzles only require thinking, while some others will use more…”

“Game became way too complicated from what started as a simple one. Cant enjoy cause life is already puzzling and hard enough and a game doesnt have to, considering there is no accessibility option (atleast anything…”
“good puzzler i guess. puzzles become more tedious than hard in the end.”
“Gay Limbo. That last area tested my patience, it's a lot harder than it looks once paint and lasers enter the equation. Selecting a colour essentially turns off any matching objects so it's tricky juggling what's what…”

“Lots of walking and jumping, but with interesting play on using colors to get through specific areas. Has a cute little story that unfolds with it as you go. Going back for collectables is kind of annoying as you have…”
