Color Factory: Automation Meets Canvas

Barely playable game - has too much bugs. Sometimes belts and machines just don't connect and have to redo them, game doesn't properly support widescreen, mergers are flipped and second input is taken from the wrong side, setting for changing belt type doesn't work.

I like the idea of the game, but it's buggy. An hour in and giving up, roads keep disconnecting, machines stop working for no obvious reason, canvas parts delivered aren't counting... Too buggy to play.

Its easy to get confused between colors if your not paying attention (and god forbid you're color blind) and the board doesn't clear (nor have I found a button that does so) between levels in a given section which can get annoying when you need to completely switch up the blocks your making. There also seems to be a bug with the menu where it doesn't visually appear changed and the road style section doesn't change at all. The color palette menu seems to flicker when you move around with it open? Little odd but not a big deal. Despite these downfalls, its a good time waster and worth the price for this unique little game. Its easy to lose track of time and has me wanting to return to complete the levels to see what kind of factories I have to come up with. One thing I'd like to recommend is having steam achievements for completing levels. I like being able to tell at a glance what games I have completed or not.

Game feels unpolished. You can't even drag around your camera and the game is quite buggy. 1/10 do not recommend unfortunately.

Color Factory: Automation Meets Canvas, developed by Bosphorus Games and published by Rogue Duck Interactive, is a refreshing and inventive take on the automation and factory-building genre, replacing the usual industrial grit with an unexpectedly vibrant and artistic theme. Rather than smelting ores or assembling mechanical parts, the player builds a factory dedicated to mixing and refining pigments, combining base colors into a spectrum of hues, and turning them into artistic canvases. It’s a clever premise that merges the logic of automation with the creativity of art, creating an experience that feels both strategic and relaxing. From the moment you begin, it’s clear that the game’s focus isn’t on survival or competition, but on flow—both literal and figurative—as you watch colors travel through your carefully constructed systems, merge into new shades, and emerge as finished works of art. The gameplay loop is grounded in simplicity, but it quickly reveals surprising depth as you expand your operations. You begin with the primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—and a handful of machines capable of mixing, splitting, and refining them. Soon, you’ll be connecting a growing network …
