ChromaGun

ChromaGun is a first-person shooter puzzle video game developed by Pixel Maniacs, an independent game studio from Germany.

Gameplay
ChromaGun is a puzzle game revolving around using colors. The player uses the ChromaGun, a paint-shooting weapon, to colorize walls and floating spherical robots, called Worker Droids. These Worker Droids are attracted to walls of the same color and will move towards them.

The player's objective is to solve puzzles by cleverly rearranging Worker Droids, changing their colors, and guiding them to door-opening triggers, switches or electrified tiles. The player can shoot paint in the primary colors red, blue and yellow using the ChromaGun. The primary colors can be mixed together on walls and Worker Droids to create the secondary colors green, purple and orange. Mixing more than two different colors will result in black, which Worker Droids are not attracted to.

The game consists of many short puzzle levels to solve, however a single mistake can render a puzzle unsolvable, forcing to restart the level. There are 26 levels in total, each with only one solution.

Reception
ChromaGun was met with mixed-to-positive critical reception on all platforms.

Twinfinite's Chaz Miller scored it 3.5/5, praising the game's art direction, difficulty and concept, but stated that the puzzles could get "frustrating" or "repetitive" in portions, and had no alternative solutions.

Bagogames' Alexx Aplin scored the game with a 9.5/10, praising the game design, gameplay, voice acting and the inclusion of support for colorblind individuals, but stated that playing with a gamepad feels "twitchy" and that "the difficulty scales in strange places".

On review aggregate Metacritic, the game currently sits at 69/100 for the Nintendo Switch and 74/100 for PlayStation 4.
