CMYK (Beta)
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
Did you know that there are tiny creatures in your printer ink? I encourage you not to fact-check this on Wikipedia and give CMYK a try.
Moninkers are colorful little beings that constantly reproduce. When two moninkers join, they create a new moninker with a mixed color between both. But if the colors mix too much they will create an evilker. These are the bad guys and will turn the moninkers into more evilkers.
When all the moninkers of any primary color disappear, the game ends. Avoid this from happening, moninker shepherd!
-
Grab groups of moninkers and move them around.
-
Exchange moninkers for skills in the drawers on the right.
-
Launch the skills:
-
Tint shot (exchange primaries): Tint moninkers and evilkers.
-
Eraser shot (exchange secondaries): Does the same, but deleting.
-
Evil bomb (golden exchanger): Erase evilkers in a large area.
-
"Is this game racist and you are encouraging people not to mix races?"
No, that wasn't the intended message, but I can see how it could be interpreted that way. However, it's just a cartoony game, and you can reproduce with whomever you want.
With their consent.
You're not going to cancel me that easily.
INK BASIC COLOR THEORY
(if you missed that primary school class)
Yes, CMYK normaly means "Cyan Magenta Yellow Black" in a printer context. Yeah, I know, I'm so funny, thank you.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This game was initially developed for the Brackeys 2021.2 Game Jam, whose theme was "Let's there be chaos". I didn't have enough time that week to finish and submit it to the jam, but I liked the concept, so I kept developing the project.
The goal is to release it on the Play Store at some point, but I have to polish it a lot before that can happen.
I really appreciate any comments about how to improve the game.
KNOWN ISSUES :_(
-
Game performance is terrible with a high number of Moninkers. I should use DOTS in the future to improve this.
-
The high-score system doesn't work on Android.
-
Game balance is completely broken.
-
Skills should cost a more when you have a lot of moninkers on screen.
-
There is no encouragement to take the risk of having a lot of secondary colors moninkers, so you can't use several strategies.
-
The random paint shots should target certain problematic Moninkers.
-
-
More skills are needed.

I played since the Alpha. This is a game with such great potential for a nice ultra-casual mobile game. BUT a had the feeling, once I use the bomb skills, as the creator said, it is very easy to drop every time to avoid enemies from appearing, making a lot of points.
Btw, it is a very unique and cool concept, and deserves more recognition!
There is still a lot to polish before the 1.0 version but I love to heard this messages mate. Definitely I have to fix all those balance problems soon but Im afraid it will take me some time.
Thank you for playing :)
