Read full description

Pixel Out is a color-matching puzzle. Each level turns a picture into hundreds of colored blocks. Pick the right shooter, send it down the belt, and clear every block of that color. How to play Tap a shooter to set it on the conveyor. The belt holds up to five. When a shooter reaches an open slot, it fires at matching blocks until its shots run out. Shooters carry 15, 20, or 30 shots, so the order you pick matters. Clear the whole picture to win. You lose if a shooter reaches the end and no slot is free. Earn coins as shooters are used up. Spend them to shuffle the four rows or skip a hard level. Spin the wheel once a day for a bonus. There are 492 levels, and progress stays on this device.
