About

Pigmentone is a single player casual strategy game. It was developed by Sliverbroom Studios and was released on July 8, 2016. It received mostly positive reviews from players.

"Pigmentone is a color-based puzzle game with simple graphics and relaxing music. Players must guess and combine colors through moving emitters and receivers with rainbow rings. The game features 50 levels, real-time color combination system, and a time-trial score, but the help system is designed to punish its use. With mostly trial and error, Pigmentone challenges players to figure out where each color goes."

The gameplay features a charming mechanic of lining up elements to activate menus, but this novelty wears off quickly, leading to frustration with tedious tasks like locating hidden parts. Additionally, time challenges feel unnecessary and add to the overall sense of tedium.
- “This ignores such tedious mechanics as parts that only show up when you sweep a beam over them for... apparently no reason at all. It adds nothing but one more item to memorize if you ever want to torture yourself with completing the time challenges, which are also largely pointless.”
- “Having to line up gameplay elements to activate the menu is a cute idea but gets old quickly.”
