綺麗なゲーム

ゲームが開けなくなったり、難問で先に進めなくなって離れたりしていて久々に開きました。やっとコンプリート。足掛け16年…
とても見た目が綺麗で頭を使うゲームです。三原色の絵の具を混ぜたことがあればわかります。じっくりがお好きな方におすすめ。

5 stars on iPad, 2 stars on iPhone

This is a 5-star game, but the music never plays for me on the iPhone. It works great on the iPad.

Clever and Original

This game is very easy to understand, but very difficult to solve. They introduce new mechanics often, and let you skip levels. The game gets extremely difficult, if that is something you enjoy.

To reiterate another reviewer... not that great.

Got this when it was free.
Played for a few minutes and deleted.
Neither interesting, challenging or fun.
Just a bit boring with annoying limitations.
Sorry this is negative but really don’t waste any money.
