Easy-to-play color puzzles Winner of the Grand Prize at the Indy Game Competition in Seongnam, 2017 'Colorzzle' is a puzzle game that matches colors. When you match the same color, the trees grow and flowers bloom. If you grow all the trees and flowers, the stage is clear! There are a total of 100 beautiful puzzles. It's easy to get started, but it gets harder. You have to mix colors to create different colors. Match the colors to grow trees and flowers. I intended minimalism through this game. Feel peace through a simple game. This is the first work of Darong Studio. Darong Studios is made up of a married couple and a baby. Thank you.

Colorzzle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
