In colourPod 2, the world has been drained of color. Seated in your dimensionPod, you're tasked with blasting the white, colorless fragments, while collecting the rest to restore color to your world.

The game looks and feels a bit like Asteroids, though your turret is stationary and all of the asteroids – some of which are colorful – happen to be charging towards you. Blast the white fragments before they hit your pod, and position the lens on your rear end in front of colored ones, to absorb them. Stockpiling colors will improve your abilities, and grant you new ones.

There's a bit of Ikaruga in there too: White fragments can only be hit in a particular dimension. If they're solid, fire away, or hit the spacebar to swap between dimensions when they're just an outline of the particular shape.

The rules are simple, and as with most deceptively simple games, I'm absolutely terrible at it. The infectious (and repetitive) music gets to playing and suddenly I'm blasting colored fragments, collecting the white ones, and wondering why I can't get much farther than level 9. I'm sure you all will have much better luck.
