For this week we have made several updates to how the core color collection system works. For a starter the player can now hold down the pick up color button to remove the color from that bottle. The color is not however completely removed, instead it first tries to fill some of the other bottles if it is possible to fill them without mixing to a new color. This does not only give the player a tool to remove unwanted color, but it also allows for splitting color mixes.

This change was made to reduce the efficiency of repeatedly casting a spell and then picking up the color again. Another change that was made to the color collection system is that collecting color using the brush is now a bit smarter to reduce the instances where the player accidentally mixes colors when they do not want to do that.

Spikey can no longer get stuck on the player when falling, the crystal bombarder is now a bit less oppressive and the Crystal Quake has got an additional completely new attack. Finally we have also reworked the timer and the consequences of running out of time.
