Palette Panic (Demo)

Pool meets tower defense. The balls mix like paint.

This is an early browser demo. You'll need a keyboard and mouse to play. Colorblind mode is available under Options. It adds letter labels to help you identify individual colors.

Enemies march across the table, and you stop them with balls of matching color. If you don't have the color you need, you have to make it.

Shoot the silver cue ball to knock the colored balls together. When a blue ball hits a yellow one, both turn green, as if you were mixing paint. Collide two purples to split them back into red and blue. Line up the collision well, and the newly colored ball can hit an enemy in the same shot.

Later levels introduce more ways to change colors. The enemies have tricks of their own, too: frogs leap over incoming shots, ghosts turn invisible, and scorpions catch balls with an electric beam.

The full game is coming to Steam for Windows and macOS in 2027. Wishlist Palette Panic on Steam.
