An abstract, asynchronous game about making colorful space bases and knocking ships into the voids of the expanse; for two players.
In Color Space, players will push objects around, pushing them out of the play area (out of space) to achieve their goals.
The Space player moves tiles, which push objects away, with the goal of pushing the Cadet ships out of space to destroy them. When all three Cadet ships have been destroyed, Space wins!
The Cadets player moves ships around on top of Space’s tiles, pushing Materials cubes (which spawn after Space moves a tile) out of space to collect them. Once they’ve collected a certain combination of cubes, the Cadets player can build a Quantum Base. Quantum Bases require two cubes of certain colors that corresponds with color theory (eg a Blue and Red cube makes a Purple Quantum Base). To win, the Cadets player needs to build all three of their Quantum Bases before Space can destroy all three of their ships.
