Read full description

Rainbow Grid is a puzzle game where the goal is to make all of the tiles match the background color in as few moves as possible. When you press a tile, that tile and each tile next to it will iterate through a sequence of colors. You'll need a keen sense of logical reasoning to select the right tile at the right time and clear the grid. With a randomly generated solution for each game, ranging from 4-by-4 to 7-by-7 grids with a sequence of 2 - 7 colors, the combinations are endless!
