A beautiful strategy casual game with two unique gameplay modes. Stacking challenge tests your strategic thinking by matching cards with the same number of points to collect the opponent's deck, and you can win by playing all the cards first; The Han Seven Speed Calculation challenges your quick reaction ability by determining whether the card meets the "Han Seven" rules within a limited time, including the number 7, numbers, and multiples containing 7. Whether it's relaxing or pushing the limits, you can find a game rhythm that suits you, allowing you to enjoy the perfect combination of wisdom and luck at your fingertips.

Read full description

Chromazel is a logic puzzle game built on a single elegant rule. Draw one continuous path across a grid. Cover every cell. Never revisit. The catch is that each cell fills with color as you step on it, and consecutive cells of the same color must not exceed a set limit. That one constraint reshapes every decision you make. The game generates each puzzle procedurally using a depth-first search algorithm that guarantees exactly one valid solution exists. You are not guessing. You are deducing. THREE DIFFICULTY TIERS Easy presents a compact grid with generous color rules. Medium introduces locked-color cells that force you to plan your arrival sequence. Hard adds impassable obstacle cells that carve irregular shapes into the board and demand creative detours. DAILY PUZZLE Every day at midnight a new puzzle appears, generated from a date-based seed. Monday through Wednesday is Easy. Thursday and Friday shift to Medium. Weekends bring Hard. Your streak counter tracks consecutive days solved. SPEED RUN Choose a difficulty and solve five consecutive puzzles against a continuous clock. When the final cell fills on the fifth board, your total time locks in. A detailed result card breaks down each level so you can study where seconds slipped away. HUE TRAINER A standalone mini-game where a grid of same-colored cells hides one impostor with a slightly shifted hue. Tap to find it. Each correct answer tightens the difference and may grow the grid. Three mistakes end the run. Scores scale with speed and grid size. FOUR VISUAL THEMES Candy Pop brings bright pastels on a warm cream canvas. Cyberpunk lights up neon edges against deep charcoal. Ink Wash strips the palette to muted grays with a single red accent. Macaron softens everything into lavender and mint. Switch with one tap. INTERACTIVE TUTORIAL A four-step guided walkthrough teaches path drawing, color constraints, and locked cells on a simplified board. New players learn by doing rather than reading. DESIGNED WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS No advertisements. No in-app purchases. No network connection required. No account creation. All progress saves locally on your device. Open the app and start solving. Every animation has purpose. Invalid moves trigger a shake. Undo rewinds the last step with a reverse glow. Completing a level launches a layered celebration sequence. The interface stays out of your way until you need it. Chromazel exists for one reason. To give your brain a clean, well-crafted puzzle and let you solve it in peace.
