Color Control

Color Control is an online multiplayer game released by Watercolor Studios on October 29, 2006 on ATBW Blog and the ATBW C4, April 2, 2007 on the ATBW C8, and June 7, 2010 on the A4ATBW. It was also released on the Wii, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3 on July 21, 2010.

Gameplay
Players play in a map of hexagons where they must capture the entire map without getting hit by another player. Players can hit enemy players by running through their tail when they are out of their territory and vice versa. There is no time limit and players can play for an infinite amount of time that they like, that is until they're killed by an enemy or if they hit the map barrier.

There are four game modes in the game; Normal, the normal online game mode, Battle, an arena based fighting mode with powerups, Community, a mode played in a community, and Prop, a mode where props are set in the game. Players can also make their own maps and submit them to the game with ease.

Advertisements
The game received controversy mainly for it's number of advertisements installed in the game that all players are forced to watch every time after they die and they are unable to skip them regardless. There would also be the same advertisement when the game boots, though this was fixed in 2012 after being hit with a fine from ATBW Blog for it's excess use of advertisements.

On June 8, 2009, the game's developer Watercolor Studios added a function to remove advertisements after being ordered to do so by ATBW Blog. This would cost the player $6.00 dollars to remove the ads, but the ads never went away. Players would still be forced to watch ads even after spending their money on getting them removed. This went unnoticed until March 21, 2012 after numerous complaints were sent to ATBW Blog, at this point they forced the company to fix it.

Bullying/Fighting
There were also numerous issues in regards to bullying and fighting in the game after players tried to take the map but would keep getting killed by other players. Bullies would abuse the game map and repeatedly annoy and harass other players who try to get the entire map but are unable to after being killed by the same bullies. Victimized players would report bullying players to Watercolor Studios, only for victimized players to be banned for complaining and whining, which the company does not tolerate.

Most of the bullying took place from March 21, 2007 until June 4, 2009 when the company disabled chat features in response to the bullying crisis. On June 23, 2011, ATBW Blog again intervened and temporarily suspended Watercolor Studios for a total of six weeks and ordered the company to fix the problem before July 1, 2011 or they would risk facing permanent termination from the site and all of it's game sold to other companies. The chat features were reinstated thereafter and Watercolor Studios started banning bullying as ordered by ATBW Blog.
