## What is Color Vex?

Place pieces, match colors, clear the board. No ads, no timers, no interruptions.

The rules take a minute to learn. Getting good takes a while longer.

Every piece is two colored cells. Drop it where the colors line up, build chains, and watch entire rows cascade away. Climb levels and new colors unlock, until reading the board becomes the real puzzle.

WHAT'S INSIDE
- Level progression with new colors unlocking all the way to level 200
- Infinite mode: unlimited moves, no pressure, just place and clear
- Shuffle: dealt a hand that fits nowhere? Redeal it and keep your run alive
- Combos and match chains that pay you back in bonus moves
- Vibrant or muted color palettes, whichever is easier on your eyes
- Full dark mode
- Plays offline, anywhere

NO ADS. NO INTERRUPTIONS.

No banners, no pop-ups, no countdown pressuring your next move. Open it, play a round, put it down.

Great for a quick mental break, or for a longer sitting where you plan three moves ahead and make the board pay for it.
