Overview
About this game
Huebound is an abstract idle factory game about mixing colors.
Place geometric nodes on an infinite canvas, wire them together, and watch colored orbs flow through your network. Blue, Red, and Yellow sources generate primary orbs. Combiners mix them using subtractive color rules — just like real paint. Sellers convert orbs into Light, your currency. Spend Light to expand your factory, unlock new node types, and chase rarer colors.
256 named colors hide in the palette. Some are easy — Blue + Red = Purple. Others require layered mixing chains and careful planning. Every color has a name, a tier, and a value. The rarest hues — those furthest from the primaries — are worth the most.
