About

Chromaflow

Features
Read full description

Chromaflow is a water sort and color sort puzzle with a twist: you also mix colors. Pour, mix and sort liquid colors to bring a faded world back to life. A solver has checked every level in Chromaflow, so every puzzle can be solved without extra tubes. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap a tube, then another, to pour. A color pours only onto the same color or into an empty tube. • Fill every tube with a single color to clear the level. • Undo is free and unlimited. If a board can no longer be solved, Rewind takes you back to the last solvable position, also for free. WHAT'S INSIDE • 192 levels in 10 painted chapters, from Lighthouse Cove to the Autumn Vineyard. Every win paints part of the chapter's picture. • The Mixing Flask: pour in two colors and get a third, like red and yellow into orange. • Mixed Vessels and Seals: glasses of different sizes, and sealed tubes that open once a certain color is complete. • Daily Pour: a new puzzle every day, the same for everyone, with a Classic puzzle, a Master puzzle once you know the Mixing Flask, a streak calendar and a spoiler-free share card. • The Archive: finish the campaign and 1,000 more levels are waiting. • The Collection: postcards, historical pigments, a palette to unlock and 30 achievements. FAIR BY DESIGN • No lives, no energy, no timers that make you wait to play. • A retry gives you the same board. Hard and Very Hard levels are labeled, and after a few tries you can switch to a softer version. • You only pay for a hint or a spare bottle when the solver proves it helps. ACCESSIBILITY • Glyphs on the colors and the Deutan / Protan, Tritan and High contrast palettes, each one checked against color-blindness simulations. • VoiceOver support, left-hand mode, pour speed and reduced motion. PLAY YOUR WAY • The campaign and the Archive play offline. • Game Center leaderboards and achievements, and cloud save with iCloud, for players 13 and over. • Optional reminders for the Daily Pour: at most once a day, never between 10 pm and 9 am. FREE TO PLAY Chromaflow is free, with ads between some levels and never in the middle of a puzzle. Reward videos are always your choice. Chromaflow Premium is a one-time purchase: no ads and no video offers, plus daily perks. Drops packs and a Starter Pack are optional. Players under 13 need a grown-up to approve every purchase. COMING FROM CHROMAFLOW 1? Update on the same phone and your progress comes with you: you start at a chapter based on how far you got, the chapters before it wait as sketches for you to paint, and you get the Founder glass and a gift of Drops. If you bought Remove Ads, it is now Chromaflow Premium. Questions or ideas? Write to hello@elvoren.ee
