Chromatic Fantasy

[b]chromatic fantasy[/b] is a sliding game with colorful dragons. they all got captured by an evil wizard and put in a dungeon, your task is to help them escape. not only does dialog appear immediately during story bits, but you can go back and forth in case you want to read something again. nice. the dungeon is deep, [b]about 50 levels[/b] to unlock in a somewhat non-linear fashion, so sometimes there's more than one to tackle at a time, but [b]branching progression could've started sooner[/b]. the main goal is to move the dragons to the portal of their color, preferably within par or the other par, but anything will count for completion. it's essentially a 3-star system and the move counter and both pars are on-screen in the bottom left corner. level select (the dungeon) also shows the ratings and your best attempts, and each level has a name for easier reference. there's also the wizard's tower to conquer once you're above ground. for whatever reason, pink hourglasses are rewarded for solving levels and a few more for getting within either par (levels can be replayed, of course, but hourglasses can't be farmed). they are used to remove magic barriers in the dungeon, so basical…

I took upon the challenge...and failed miserably ^^" Although my own ineptitude is not a reason to downvote something, it just means it's not my genre and I should let that sink in. But my own shortcomings aside this little puzzle game features adorable dragons as main cast, plenty of flavor, soothing music, no time limits, ability to undo all the moves done and lots of puzzles based on movement that only stops when encountering an obstacle with a few twists like managing colored gates. Sound very simple and the rules indeed are. The difficulty comes with the execution and to my surprise it is indeed very difficult to create a proper path with often the dragons themselves being the stopping blocks so another can reach its destination. There are aids in the game in case of being stuck but their usage is limited with charges and to regain them one has to return to previous level where they were used and beat it without using help. I'm very confident that all levels are perfectly doable without helping tools (using them denies you score after all) but I've ran out of ideas and charges myself making me hard stuck. It is certainly something for true puzzle enthusiasts and my brain prove…

I love this game. It is a thinkers game that gives you time and opportunities to think. I like that you can restart the levels as often as you need. The levels get challenging very quickly. I like that I don't have to take the time to go through a large number of easy levels before the real game begins. Another great feature is the ability to undo several moves. Not sure if this is unlimited, but is a great advantage to be able to go back some steps and not have to redo the whole level. The music is relaxing and enhances the atmosphere of thinking and problem solving. Clever and challenging puzzles, with no time limit. I highly recommend this game.

Do you crave that feeling of satisfaction from solving challenging puzzles? Are you intrigued by puzzles that seem so simple and yet defy your attempts to solve them? Chromatic Fantasy provides this and more. With a simple concept that produces so much challenging variety, this game will keep you scratching your head while trying to get four dragons to safety. In a clever twist, allies you find along the way will let you break some rules, enabling progress even when you are inevitably stumped. All puzzles are solvable without help, and if you return to a puzzle and complete it the hard way, the ally is freed up and can be used again. It’s fun to see the allies at work, and even though they break the rules you still must deploy them strategically. It is almost another game entirely to determine how best to deploy an ally to complete a level. Modern puzzle games have set a high bar. We players now expect more than just a sequence of puzzles in increasing difficulty; we want puzzles within puzzles, hidden secrets, variety, and aesthetics. This is where the masterpieces of the genre distinguish themselves. Chromatic Fantasy, while not a masterpiece, nevertheless is a cut above the no…

Good 👍
