About Colour Box

Colour Box is a puzzle game about colouring boxes. There are 27 levels of varying difficulty that may prove to be both challenging and fun! You play the game by dragging boxes around. Dragging one over a coloured field will colour the part of the box touching that field. You must drag a matching box to the goal to complete a level. The main challenge of the game is figuring out in which order you should colour the box (or boxes). To beat the game you have to think logically and use all the tools the game provides you with. We hope you have as much fun playing Colour Box as we had making it!

The game is made by Daniel Michaneck and features music by Jonathan Krieger Rozenberg. A big thank you to the people that playtested the game and the helpful members of the GameMaker community.

Tips

  • If you are having trouble dragging the box you can turn on Drag Assist in the main menu to make it easier for you.
  • You can open the menu by pressing the Escape button or by right-clicking on an area away from a box or a goal.
  • You can skip to the next level by pressing the right arrow key or go back to the previous level by pressing the left arrow key.
  • You can go back a step in the menu or continue the game session by pressing the right mouse button while in the menu.
  • You can also go back a step or continue the session by left-clicking outside of the menu screen while the game is paused.

Colour Box is a puzzle game about – brace yourself – colouring boxes. Shocking, I know. With 27 levels of increasing difficulty, the game challenges you to think ahead and plan your moves. The core mechanic is simple: dragging boxes across coloured fields to paint them, then matching the correctly coloured boxes to their goals. While the premise is easy to understand, the challenge lies in figuring out the correct order of moves. [h3]Pros:[/h3] - [b]cool concept[/b] – the idea of colouring boxes seems simple at first, but the game turns it into a clever puzzle where every move matters - [b]easy to grasp mechanics[/b] – dragging boxes to colour them is as straightforward as it sounds, but the challenge comes from figuring out the right order - [b]minimalist aesthetic[/b] – no distractions, just you, the boxes, and your increasingly complicated thought process [h3]Cons:[/h3] - [b]no undo button[/b] – one misstep can force you to restart the level - [b]no achievements[/b] – the lack of achievements makes the game feel less rewarding - [b]could use more levels[/b] – the 27 levels are well-designed, but the game leaves you wanting more Overall, Colour Box is a thoughtfully de…

Игра 'Colour Box' - это замечательное пособие для развития мелкой моторики и обучения цветам для самых маленьких. Яркие, приятные на ощупь кубики различных цветов привлекают внимание ребенка и побуждают к игре. Больше всего мне понравилось то, что игра не ограничивается простым сортингом по цветам. В комплекте идут карточки с заданиями, которые предлагают различные сценарии: построить пирамиду, найти пару кубиков, создать узор. Это помогает разнообразить игру и поддерживать интерес ребенка на долгое время. Качество материалов на высоте, кубики прочные и безопасные для маленьких детей. Однако, хотелось бы видеть больше карточек с заданиями, особенно предназначенных для более старшего возраста, чтобы игра оставалась актуальной дольше. В целом, "Colour Box" - это отличная инвестиция в развитие ребенка, сочетающая в себе обучающий и развлекательный элементы. Игра прекрасно подходит для индивидуальных занятий и совместной игры с родителями. Рекомендую!

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
