About the Game

Hue Factory is a minimalist automation game about color theory. It’s just you, some conveyor belts, and a stream of colorful boxes waiting to be sorted.

Start with simple inputs and route them to their destinations to create colorful factories. As you encounter new levels, new colors appear, and your factory automation tactics will need to evolve.

The factory is your palette; a canvas waiting to be painted. Use machines to manipulate the supply chain and create new colors with machines such as:

  • Mixers: Blend two colors to create secondary or tertiary colors. The more complex the color, the greater the profit!

  • Splitters & Alternators: Redirect and cross conveyors to keep your lines as efficient as possible.

  • Pushers: Let multiple colors tag along on a single conveyor and redirect when needed with a Pusher.

And more!

Hue Factory's levels vary in size. On some levels, it won't just be about the output speed, but instead an efficient layout. If your layout gets cluttered, jams will form, and your profits will drop. Keep the belts moving to keep the factory alive.

In addition to evolving factory floor layouts, you will also encounter an increasing roster of colors to route. Replay each level and gain a new high score. All inputs spawn in new spots every time; think creatively to create an efficient automation each time you play.

Features:

  • Choose Your Theme: Unlock different themes to suit your style.

  • Colorful Progression: Master the basics of routing primary colors before unlocking complex mixing challenges.

  • Vibe Check: A soundtrack and soundscape designed to help you focus and relax while you build.

  • Accessibility Settings: Enable text-based labels on every box to ensure the factory remains accessible and playable for everyone, regardless of color perception.

  • Global Leaderboards: Compete for high scores and earn your spot on the leaderboard by creating an efficient factory.
