After playing a more complicated puzzle game, something more simple and straightforward sounded refreshing. Unfortunately for me, when I'd encounter each of the puzzles in this title, I'd more often than not struggle to wrap my head around the possible solutions. Typically it wasn't the blending of colors that confused me, but how to navigate the lines so that they'd fill in all of the blanks. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Honestly, these puzzles aren't as intuitive as I first expected. A factor I think is the hardest to contend with is how you navigate the board, and how the colors will or won't let you move through them. If a color is drawn in a straight line, you can intersect through it, or pass through a corner if you turn another direction. However,…

A surprising amount of depth of a kind unlike anything else you'll find in the puzzle game space. While solutions may come spontaneously for some levels, the mechanics never feel shallow and often feel like they are begging for a logical approach, which is in my opinion the ultimate goal of a puzzle game. The charming and polished visuals create a perfect environment in which to enjoy this depth to its fullest. Sidenote: The colorblind support is seriously robust, with even a grayscale-friendly option in the form of symbols that combine in a way that mimics the color intuition.

Right up front, it has to be said that this is an outstanding game, well thought out and well designed. The player's goal is to trace a colored dot across a board of tiles, leaving a trail of color. The color changes if it intersects with another color or an inversion tile. It sounds simple enough and some of the early levels are fairly easy to solve, but the difficulty ramps up quickly and the rule that says that every tile on the board has to have been covered, makes some levels mind-boggling. Polychromia is played with a mouse (and probably touch for tablets/phones). It can be played in a small window or full screen. There are music tracks that can be selected, it and the usual sound and volume options are there. There is an option for colorblind mode and also various theme and backgrounds. Polychromia also has a reset progress option to reset the levels back to the beginning, a nice touch by the developer. During the game there is a handy palette tool in the upper right with other…

A really fun casual game! When you want to chill, it's one of the best ways to spend some of your time. This game has beautiful graphics and there are many options for customizing it to suit everyone's preferences. The colorblind support is also a plus.
