  • The game features 50 levels that provide a fun challenge, especially when trying to achieve the highest score by using the most valuable colors.
  • It offers an interesting concept based on the Four Color Map Theorem, making it appealing for those who enjoy math-related puzzles.
  • The game is simple yet engaging, making it a great way to pass the time and exercise your brain.
  • The user interface is poor, with slow level selection and no option to save progress mid-level, which can be frustrating.
  • There is noticeable lag when starting puzzles, and the mandatory cutscene at the beginning of each puzzle disrupts the flow of gameplay.
  • The control scheme is cumbersome, requiring multiple clicks to select colors instead of allowing for quicker key mappings.

    The gameplay is generally as expected, featuring a well-balanced difficulty curve; however, newcomers may find the initial learning curve challenging. Overall, players feel that the core gameplay experience is enjoyable and worth the investment.

    • “Overall, focusing on the main gameplay, it's good stuff that is worth its price.”
    • “The curve of the difficulty is good, but at the start, I didn't understand anything about the gameplay.”
    • “Otherwise, the gameplay is mostly as you would expect.”
  • music

    The game's music is notably absent, with players expressing a desire for ethereal background music to enhance the experience across its 50 levels. While the game is played in windowed mode, users can easily play their own music, but the lack of built-in audio is a common point of criticism.

    • “It could be better with background music - something ethereal.”
    • “There are 50 levels, played in windowed mode only, without music.”
    • “You are playing in windowed mode; you can always just put on your own music in the background without any difficulty.”

    The graphics are characterized by a simple interface that some users find acceptable, though they note that the controls are lacking and the game could benefit from quality of life improvements. Despite these issues, the core puzzle-solving experience is considered valuable.
