I kept saying "RGB, RGB" and got to level 4 before I was bored. I'm also color blind, so I was thinking I'm gonna fail here, but it wasn't that bad, probably because I wasn't distinguishing shades and such
I did the same thing.

How does that help?

I also did this. Helps remember the order of the colours (red, green, blue) in the hexadecimal notation if it doesn't come naturally. FWIW, I've been using this notation in CSS for over 10 years and I still couldn't visualise most of the colours except the most obvious ones (e.g. FF0000). I wonder if it comes naturally to some people.
For a moment I thought part of the tutorial was missing, but the "gameLegend.png" image shown at the end doesn't load so quickly due to being 1.8MB large; it can be optimised to 71kB.
Arrgh, I'm not good under pressure. Got to level 7.
When I lost level 8 it said "You have completed Level 7" which is technically true, but probably not what was intended.

Very fun! Made it to level 8 before my colorblindness got the better of me.
It's unusably slow under Safari (fine under Chrome); any idea why?

I narrowly escaped death at level 9, and lost at level 10.
Could have completed level 10, maybe 11 with a little luck, without those lags (mostly due to all those things running on my computer atm, so basically it's mainly my fault) making the game ignore one click out of 3~4.
I'm a designer really used to RGB colors, btw. Nice & fun game, well polished!

Hmmm. I was hoping for a game where you had to solve puzzles by writing assembler directly in hex (as many did in the 70s / 80s including me; I find z80 hex codes still easier to work with).
The title music is awesome. I could listen to it all on its own. The in-game music is tedious and I had to mute it after 5 seconds. :(
I got to level 9, the difficulty escalates pretty quickly. I'm a designer, I'm curious how the other members of my team do.
Cool stuff :)
Please disable text-selection on the page. playing with a trackpad is hard!
I like it. I'm awfull at remembering hex colors, so this is fun and learning.
I like it lots! Close shades of the same tint keep it challenging.
A short and fun game =) Visually a bit busy, though.
What exactly do you mean? I didn't find anything on the screen too intense, overwhelming or unnecessary.
