ColorFill - Puzzle Masterpiece

I did not expect to enjoy this puzzle game after reading through some of the reviews. However, after getting used to the mechanics and understanding the underlying basics of the game, I was able to devise a solid enough strategy to get through a good chunk of the game. I’m by no means an expert, but I am finding myself more and more drawn to this unique game. It’s certainly not for everyone as it will require you to think quite a bit and plan your moves. But, if you preservers, and get the hang of it, you’ll find yourself coming back, again, and again... Fantastic game!

TLDR: simple design, ads that are seemingly impossible to click out of, resource hike, and puzzles where you have to guess I got to half way through the third set of 20 levels before the games issues became too much for me. Firstly the game is not complex, and as you continue to play you begin to recognize shapes that tell you that patterns you need to place reducing most of the puzzle solving to nothing more than a memory challenge. This would normally be solved by the introduction of new mechanics but that just never occurs. The game seems to be same the whole way through with the exception of timer challenges. You’re also given the puzzle screen on the timed challenges so you can solve portions of the puzzle before even playing making it almost a meaningless change. There are also chances you’ll get a puzzle where you’re forced to guess about the placement of a particular square rather than a logical way of reducing it from two possibilities. The game is also overly punishing as a single miss click will force you to restart or to watch an ad/ spend coin to keep going. That wouldn’t be an issue if they didn’t give you less than a 4th or what it takes to restart in currency every 4 hours and if the Ads were capable of being closed out of when they finished.

As others have noted, the game becomes much too difficult too early. In particular, the addition of a timer in Level 12 makes an otherwise relaxing logic game stressful and taxing. To make the difficulty even higher, making a single error often means being bumped back to earlier levels, requiring you to trudge through levels previously completed. Unfortunately, the high difficulty ultimately feels like a cash grab. Moving forward (especially in timed levels) sometimes requires purchasing coins for another shot at the same puzzle. After purchasing coins, but still being repeatedly kicked back to Level 10, I’m done. I’d happily pay $5 for a relaxed, normal version of this game. But as it currently stands, I’m keeping my money deleting this exercise in frustration. On a final note, shame on the developers for using fake reviews. Note the pattern of 5 star reviews: A couple of nice words, less than a sentence, from user names with lower case middle initial.

The mechanics for this game are defined by color logic in a post apocalyptic Minesweeper world! Although solving the puzzles is a great mental workout and highly entertaining, the timed stages that appear early on cannot be completed without some guessing....unless you have the mind of a mainframe, and even then a huge dose of luck is warranted. The inevitable failure effectively remains such unless you are willing to buy your way out of the impasse, and the coins are not cheap. I would have been more willing to invest in the game if there were a decent amount of content (I.e., more than 10 stages) to complete prior to luck inserting itself as an uncontrollable factor. Uncontrollable, that is, by means other than your wallet.

This game is basically minesweeper with colors. That’s okay minesweeper is fun, but, after level 5 it become impossible to make any progress. Now I’m decent at mine sweeper but it’s super unforgiving by dragging you back down several levels every time you make a mistake. Basically another pay or be ridiculously good game. The problem is that when even when you get past level 10 there is timed levels...imagine expert mine sweeper that you have to beat in a minute. This game is impossible I could not even get past level 12 Deleted
