About the Game

CoGaWan is a retro puzzle game inspired by the DOS era, where you take control of a furry creature and your goal is to paint the world around you.

Collect colors from fountains, combine them, and think carefully about every move. Each step changes the game board, and one wrong decision can cost you the entire level.

The game is built on simple rules, but gradually challenges you with increasingly complex puzzles where you must mix colors (cyan, magenta, yellow) and use them strategically.

Key Features:

• Unique color-mixing mechanic (CMY system)

• Dozens of puzzle levels

• Level editor with random map generation

• Easy mode suitable for children – toggle painting on/off and focus only on the tiles that matter

• Retro visuals inspired by classic DOS games

• Low hardware requirements

• Perfect for both short sessions and longer play

Can you find the right path and paint the entire world?

Note: The game runs via an included DOSBox Staging emulator.
