It's Spring Break in a sleepy little town where nothing ever happens. A few of the children are playing in the woods when they notice something is not right. The trees seem darker and more dangerous. Suddenly, a monstrous figure jumps out from behind a large rock, roaring in a blood rage! The children are not scared! They are elated! Grabbing sticks as weapons, they charge the monster, happy to be finally doing something "cool".

Color can lighten up a room, darken a hallway, communicate feelings, and cause us to pause almost indefinitely when attempting to match the perfect tie with a shirt. Colors can even dictate action, with red telling us to stop, green telling us to go, and yellow urging us to go faster. In this game, mixing colors will allow the player to gain the upper hand, but they can also benefit from breaking colors down to smaller parts for a bigger win.
