Chapter 1 - Morning Routine
Synopsis It’s a sunny day in Colortown, the sea glitters, the air smells of paint and everyone in the Outer District is busy with their daily routine. Koru and Tap are late on registering for the annual Canal Runner Championship, so they hurry down from their hideout and to the race fair. However upon arrival they are told that, unlike in previous years, they now have to pay up 500 color crystals to enter the race, times being as they are with the city divided and paint being scarce.

Since our heroes are broke as usual, they wander around the marketplace asking for jobs. They walk past some members of the Red Gang, punks who frequently come over from Red District to bully the locals. Finally they meet two friends and the Lizards Inn who suggest they either help out on Muddy’s Mushroom farm or visit Brik’s combat workshop. Koru and Tap head for the farm. Trivia
 * Koru’s hideout with the seashore view and a good look at the Tower of Colortown was inspired by a similar place in Disney’s Aladdin (one of the best Disney movies ever made)


 * You can find several words written in the Tinkerworld alphabet throughout the market area. Aside from obvious texts like the Lizard’s Inn sign, there are also some random German words written on the market stands, which date back to the earliest prototypes.


 * There is a trio of fishermen sitting on a balcony overlooking the marketplace. Those three can be met at several points in the game.
