addedThe Big NewsThat's why we have some great news for all you deuteranopes, protanopes, tritanopes and doges: There's no need for seeing colors while playing ChromaGun anymore! We implemented a new accessibility feature called 'ChromalessGun'! (We're not actually calling it that, I just thought it might be funny). Switching on the new colorblind mode in the settings menu, will make icons appear in the UI, on the gun, droids, walls, ... everything that can be colorized, really.

Colors: They're not for everyone

The problem with a color-based game is, only people who can actually see colors, can play it! Who knew? That means, we're effectively cutting out 8% of the world population. That's almost 600 Million people who can't play ChromaGun! It's a crime! A crime, I tell you! (Also, dogs are color blind.)

The Big News

How it works

The colorblind-icons can be combined, just like colors. That makes it easy to identify color-combinations for the chromatically impaired. And this is what it looks like in the game:
