ChromaGun 2 Switch 2 puts a paint-firing puzzle gun in your hands on Nintendo Switch 2. This physical edition of ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard comes from developer Pixel Maniacs and publisher PM Studios, and it turns colours into magnets: paint a wall, paint a robot, and watch the two pull together as you work through a facility full of tests, portals and parallel worlds.

What Is ChromaGun 2 Switch 2?
ChromaGun 2 Switch 2 is the boxed Nintendo Switch 2 release of ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard, a first-person puzzle game where your only tool is a gun that fires paint. It is developed by Pixel Maniacs, the German studio behind the original ChromaGun, and published by PM Studios. Nintendo lists it under puzzle, first-person shooter, adventure and strategy, but the shooting here is about solving rooms, not fighting armies.
You play a volunteer on ChromaTec’s Testing Track, a facility built to research what the ChromaGun can do. Each chamber is a test, and the game’s humour comes from the company’s cheerful warnings and disclaimers. No knowledge of the first game is needed; the official description says new players can jump straight in.
How the Paint Puzzles in ChromaGun 2 Switch 2 Work
The central rule is simple: colours behave like magnets. When you paint a wall, objects of the same colour are pulled towards it. Those objects include boxes and the little robots called WorkerDroids. Paint a droid blue, paint a wall blue, and the droid slides across the room to stick to it. The developer calls this idea Magnetoid Chromatism.
From there the puzzles grow. You mix colours subtractively, so firing two paints onto the same surface creates a third colour with its own pull. Later rooms add deadly floor tiles and droids that are far less friendly than they first appear. Every chamber asks you to think about which surfaces to paint, in which order, and what will move once you do.
Portals, Parallel Worlds and a Comedy Story
Dye Hard adds a twist the first game did not have: multiverse puzzles. According to the publisher’s announcement, some puzzles span different dimensions and parallel universes, and each of them brings new physics and mechanics. The Nintendo listing hints at the same idea with a tongue-in-cheek warning about a portal into an alternate reality.
Holding it together is a comedy story that the publisher sums up in a few words: paint, magnets, puzzles, friends, redemption, multiverse, and portals. It is a light, witty tone that keeps the testing chambers from feeling like a dry exam.
Accessibility: Colour-Blind Mode Included
A game built on colours could easily shut out colour-blind players, so Pixel Maniacs added an accessibility mode that places symbols on coloured objects. The official text stresses that it comes at no extra cost. The feature won the Horizon Award for Technical Innovation at GG Bavaria 2025, according to the publisher’s announcement.
In ChromaGun 2 Switch 2, this matters for families and friends sharing one console. Anyone in the house can follow the puzzles, because each colour has a clear symbol as well as a shade.
The ChromaGun 2 Switch 2 Edition on Nintendo’s Console
On Nintendo Switch 2, ChromaGun 2 Switch 2 supports TV, tabletop and handheld modes, touch screen features and surround sound, according to Nintendo’s listing. Puzzle games suit handheld play well: you can clear a chamber or two on a short break and pick up the next test later. The European box carries a PEGI 7 rating with violence as the only content descriptor.
The digital version listed by Nintendo needs 9.9 GB of storage, which gives an idea of the size of the game. A physical ChromaGun 2 Switch 2 copy sits neatly on the shelf next to other Switch 2 games, can be lent to a friend, and makes a good gift for anyone who enjoyed first-person puzzle games built around physics and logic.
Who This Is Not For
ChromaGun 2 Switch 2 is a single-player game: Nintendo lists 1 player, and no co-op or versus mode is described for this version. It is not for players who want action combat, because the gun fires paint and progress depends on logic, not reflexes. Younger children may find later chambers hard; the box is rated PEGI 7 for violence. This is a Nintendo Switch 2 edition and will not run on the original Nintendo Switch. The publisher does not publish a play time, so we cannot promise a specific length.
