  I get this too. You can work around it by locking the ribbon.

  That trail looks really nice... apart from those corner artefacts!

  Is there any way to get rid of those?

  Mulkaccino, that's all well and good for additive color mixing. Real-life liquids and paints use subtractive color mixing, which is a different beast altogether.

  CrudeMik, that's good! I googled the problem and found nothing, but if one game has done it, that's a start. I wonder if they'd be willing to share their algorithm...

  What thehen said is applicable, if you want computer-color blending.

  HOWEVER.

  I suppose you want to blend liquids as liquids should blend - i.e. as we all learned in 3rd grade art class (yellow and cyan = green, white + color = lighter color).

  I was actually researching this a few weeks ago. It turns out that as far as I can see, nobody has even discovered a reasonable algorithm to accomplish this. It goes into the terrible realm of color spaces.

  Let me know if you get it to work!

  Hmm, this seems broken to me. I can't get it to work at all...

  Man... You are a champ!

  Since it works as you said (offset silhouettes), will it work with transparent objects?

  As a small company, Scirra has to make tough compromises. Unfortunately at this time they cannot afford to work on something like this which will serve a minority of their market.

  Pode, thanks! Since I use masking for this layer, that won't really work. And anyway, if I was going to go to all that effort, I might as well learn the shader language and do it myself!

  I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to do an outline shader. Surely it couldn't be too difficult, and could improve the look of a lot of games.

  I honestly thing coming up with an idea that works is most of the challenge with a minigame. It's easy to make a minigame, but making an addictive hit like Fruit Ninja is very tricky.

  Yep, the canvas plugin is your best bet for this!

  Unfortunately, I'm not sure that the canvas function supports collision. I'm afraid this is one of the few things that C2 just isn't made for.

  What a game! I am very impressed. Clearly there's a lot of effort.

  One thing - I'd cut down on the mandatory delay on the dialogue in the beginning. I can read pretty fast so I was doing a lot of waiting.

  Don't get me wrong, that's just a minor thing. The game is amazing, well done sir!
