Red plus blue makes purple, blue plus yellow makes green, and white contains every color. In Bulbs 2.0, you’ll combine the satisfying art of color mixing with logic for a truly stimulating puzzle game experience! Your board is filled with colored bulbs that will reverse their specific share of light on their own cell, along with the surrounding eight. If you “reverse” a red bulb, a neighboring blue one will change to purple. Any nearby purple ones? Those will swap back to blue! Your goal is straightforward, but challenging: Swap the colors until the entire board is white. With a limited number of moves and more than 100 levels of varying size, can you illuminate your way through the game? Bulbs 2.0 features: • Over 100 levels to solve! • Clever color-based logic puzzles. • Challenging puzzles to solve in a limited number of moves. • Puzzles ranging in difficulty based on board size. • A simple interface for the ultimate puzzle experience.
