Black Was Sad by eventhandler
Black was sad.
Black lived in Dora's paintbox. And Dora loved to paint. In the five years, two months and sixteen days of her life, Dora had painted three hundred eighty-five and three-quarter rainbows. But not once had she used Black.
So Black got angry.
In his anger, Black started to shoot colors at his former friends in the paintbox. By mixing them with parts of himself he tried to turn them into black, too. If he couldn't be part of Dora's rainbows, nobody else should be!
Black knew, that if he could outnumber the other colors, he would win. But he also was aware that he only had a limited number of shots to achieve his evil goal before he would have to surrender.
And thus the fight began.
How to play:
Billiard meets minigolf meets color mixing! Click on any instance of Black, drag and release to shoot a primary color (Red, Yellow or Blue) in the indicated direction. Press key "1" to select Red, "2" to select Yellow or "3" to select Blue.
If the color you shoot hits another color, the hit color will be blended with the shot color (e.g. hitting Red with Yellow will turn Red into Orange).
You'll win if -- by clever color mixing -- you have more Black objects in the game than Colored ones. You'll lose if you have no more shots left.

I'm not fan of puzzle game in fact but i will not low rank your game.
That kind of game you happily play to pass the time.
The ideal target to this is surely the mobile platforms.
Great work on this!
@betong: If the hit color didn't change, it's because it already contained the primary color you shot at it. For example: Green consists of Yellow and Blue, so it won't change if it gets hit by Yellow or Blue. You need to hit it with Red to turn it into Black. I know that the color mixing part can be a bit confusing first, but it's quite logical if you come to think of it.
Took me a while to figure out how to chose colors in order to turn other colors into other colors. Then it took me an even longer while to be able to do something I wanted to do. Though I was not able to win yet. But I came to level 4? So I think I figured it out.
Awesome game. Great work. The graphics were best, the overall concept was awesome. Nice approach to the theme, angry little black that actually is just sad :(
I like your story, very cute :)
But it could do with a lot of polishing. The Text-intro is way too long. Controls are unintuitive. It isn't really clear what to do. and it takes excrutiangly long until you can make a move again.
I like the combination of color puzzle and ability.
It could be interesting to work on an enhanced version.
