Color-based physics mechanics

In the world of ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard, colors act like magnets. The technical term used by the developers is Magnetoid Chromatism — a physical property that causes walls to attract objects of the same color.

Players use the ChromaGun to paint surfaces and objects such as wooden crates, cargo boxes, or WorkerDroids (support robots). By mastering color mixing, you must generate matching attraction forces to move objects and overcome obstacles along the Testing Track Mark II.

Notable improvements from ChromaLabs

ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard introduces several new features to enhance the puzzle-solving experience:

  • Paint removal: In addition to painting, players can now undo or erase existing paint layers to fix mistakes or change their strategy.
  • Multidimensional puzzles: Going beyond standard three-dimensional space, the game introduces mechanics involving portals and parallel realities, requiring more complex logical thinking.
  • Resilient level design: Test chambers are optimized to reduce the need to restart entire levels when mistakes occur.

Accessible and player-friendly experience

The developers confirm that players do not need to play the first title to enjoy ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard. The game also includes a free color-blind accessibility mode, ensuring everyone can fully engage with the challenges.

Despite its professional research facility exterior, the atmosphere inside ChromaLabs can feel mysterious and quirky through its internal announcement system. Players are advised to follow testing instructions carefully to avoid triggering unexpected multiverse phenomena.

As of February 12, 2026, ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard is available on Steam, ready for players who enjoy physics-based puzzles and creative problem-solving.
