HueSnap!

Features
Read full description

Spot the dominant color in just 3 seconds. Hue Snap is a minimalist color puzzle built on a vibrant 4-color dot grid. Each round, the grid lights up — your job is to identify which color covers the most cells before time runs out. ▣ Why you'll love it · Pure intuition — no strategy guides, no power-ups, just your eye and 3 seconds. · Clean, minimalist aesthetic — crisp dots, sharp color contrast, zero clutter. · Real area, not noise — every color forms a single connected region, so you're judging actual area, not random scatter. · One-tap to start, one-tap to retry. No tutorials, no waiting. · Light & dark mode auto-switch. ▣ How to play A 4-color dot grid appears. Take 3 seconds to scan it. Tap the color you think covers the most cells. Right answer? Next stage. Wrong? Try again. ▣ A natural difficulty curve Early stages grow from 10×10 to 15×15, easy enough to nail at a glance. As you climb, color distributions tighten — the gap between #1 and #2 shrinks until you really need to trust your eye. How far can you go? ▣ Ad notice Hue Snap is free to play and supported by occasional in-app ads. Download now and put your color sense to the test.
