Dear Chromalovers,

as we all know, the core principle of ChromaGun is based on colors. Hence, the name. (The chroma-part, that is. Not the gun-part. Whatever.)

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


That'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.


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:
