I've actually played this one, a really good little puzzle about changing which platforming elements are interactable at once

Hue is a short but fun platformer. It's a color-based platformer, so I figured I'd share my opinion on its colorblind accessibility.

I am only mildly colorblind, so I can't really speak on how bad it is if you're severely colorblind, but I was able to complete the game with only a couple annoying "wait, that was orange?" moments before dying and restarting the puzzle. Overall it wasn't too bad, and the game helpfully avoids mixing similar looking colors like orange and yellow together in the same puzzle.

They do include a colorblind setting, though I didn't find it particularly useful myself. It adds small unique symbols to each color, but the platforming was too fast in many instances to really register which symbol was which.

Thanks for the analysis, I guess it must be quite difficult to do accessibility for a game so focused on colour
