About

Chromata

Features
Read full description

Chromata is a logic puzzle where you never guess — you prove. One secret code. Five colors. Three statements a turn, of which you pick only one — and its answer teaches you as much when it is false as when it is true. HOW IT PLAYS Each turn, three statements are offered to you, with no verdict attached. "Iris is greater than Cobalt." "The sum of Sulphur and Amber is less than 5." You pick one. Only then does the game reveal whether it is true or false. And that is the whole point. If "Iris > Cobalt" is false, then Iris ≤ Cobalt: you have learned exactly as much. There is no bad draw, no luck to suffer — only reasoning that is more or less efficient. Cross out impossible values on the grid, cross-reference, narrow it down. When one candidate is left, submit it. A BREAK MADE OF ATTENTION No endless feed, no autoplaying video, no banner blinking to keep you here. Chromata asks for the exact opposite of scrolling: a few minutes of continuous attention, a line of reasoning held from start to finish, and the very distinct satisfaction of having worked something out instead of having consumed it. A game lasts two to ten minutes. It plays in silence, offline, on a commute or in a quiet room. WHAT'S INSIDE • 3, 4 or 5-color codes — up to 3,125 possible combinations • Three difficulties, which change the nature of the clues served, not just their number • Eight families of statements: comparisons, sums, orderings, counts, positions, membership • A fully interactive elimination grid — your scratchpad, right on screen • Jokers, for when a game closes in on you • Divination mode: reroll a triplet of statements at the cost of points • Timed mode: reasoning under pressure, with a speed bonus under one minute • Full history: every game can be replayed, statement by statement, verdict by verdict • Seven ranks to climb, from Greyness to Divine Lagoon • English and French, interface and statements alike • No ads, no account, no data collection, no connection required FULL VERSION The game installs and plays for free: 3-color codes, easy and normal difficulty, unlimited games, tutorial included. A single purchase — never a subscription — unlocks 4 and 5-color codes, hard mode and timed mode.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Chromata at none against Color Code Breaker's shown. Chromata also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Color Code Breaker's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.4 vs 18.4). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
