### 5/5 — Addictive

*2026-06-07*

I’ve been playing this game for such a long time. It’s addictive.  Colors works better for me than numbers.

### 5/5 — Farbe Kunst Training

*2025-12-11*

Absolut wunderbares spannendes und Konzentration erforderndes Spiel. Dadurch, dass man es stoppen kann, hat man keinen Zeitverlust. Es werden trainiert -unabhängig vom großen Spaß - 1. Auffassungsgabe 2. schnellste Farberkennung 3. Kombinationsgabe/Analysefähigkeit. 4. „Spiel-Ehrlichkeit“ zu sich selbst. 5. Denkschnelligkeit. // Tipp: Versucht mal alle 9 Farben „gleichzeitig/parallel“ im Kopf zu behalten..., ist absolut schwierig; ich schaffe acht, dann hänge ich und muss meine selbst „gebastelte“ Abfragebrücke nehmen ( Gelb, Grün, Grau, Pink, Lila .... ) Fazit: topp Spiel

### 5/5 — Love the colors

### 5/5 — Color sudoku

*2024-07-24*

Excellent game. Very challenging especially towards the end of each level. I start with 1 at each level, then 2and continue until I have finished all of the levels.

### 4/5 — Suduko

*2024-06-08*

Great game

### 5/5 — Better than numbers!

*2024-04-14*

Easier to see, and more fun!

### 5/5 — Challenging yet Relaxing

*2023-09-21*

I like this version with color tiles better than the puzzles with numbers. It uses the other side of the brain which just seems to make it more relaxing. Only thing I would improve is a little more color separation between the dark green and light green tiles; it is sometimes hard to tell them apart. Nonetheless, I find myself playing this game a lot just for relaxation.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2023-01-31*

Fun and challenging
