Terrible science.

Terrible science.
Ultrasound doesn't travel very far through ground and it spreads like a pond ripple, not a beam.
Ultrasound doesn't have colors.
But light does and if you bounce a white light off a blue surface then a yellow surface, you get black, not green.
The game designers' colors mix subtractively like paint, not like light.
"It's just a game"... but not one you should let kids play unless you want them to
have a hard time in science classes because they have to unlearn before they learn.
It's fine with me if a game designer wants to do fantasy, but they should make up their
own cool names and not copy ones from science and arbitrarily assign them different meanings.
