The value story

91 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 79 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.83 at 88 percent off still sits 113 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is less well reviewed than 77 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Manifold Garden ($19.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Kiki ($0.99, scores 0).

What players say

Chose colors like they were picking me. Every level felt like making a rainbow pass a math test. Gave up. Even the palette ghosted me.

This is a game that looks like someone personal project to learn how to use Unity3D. You are welcomed by a level selection screen and immediately start. There's no tutorial apart from the controls. You basically move balls into color trays to paint them, and combine colors to traverse to new rooms or just place them in their correct receptacles. There's not much else to add, there are no sound effects, only generic...

This Game is Fine. Puzzles are nice, but not easy to understand how it works. The Game has a lot of Bugs. I know that there is a Remix of this game is "Coming Soon", but I couldn't find anything online, so it seemed abandoned.
