Taploom vs Gosai

Tap a tile. Watch the color ripple outward. Drain every tile on the board. ColorDrain is a minimalist puzzle game built around one simple idea: every tap sends a wave through the grid. Plan your taps, chain the reactions, and clear each board in as few moves as possible. HOW IT PLAYS You have a board of empty tiles. Each tap fills the tapped tile and ripples outward through its neighbors. Tiles, walls, mirrors, and other obstacles shape where the color can go. Your goal is to fill the entire board, and your score depends on how cleanly you do it. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most puzzle games ask you to match. ColorDrain asks you to plan. The same board can be solved in five taps or twenty, and finding the elegant solution feels like solving a tiny machine.

Gosai is a solo tile-laying puzzle inspired by Kutani ware — Japanese porcelain famous for its five overglaze colors. Pick a pile and take its three tiles. Place each one on a cell whose dots match its color. When the piles run out, the kiln opens, and your board is scored by three cards: fill the rim, build the diagonal, gather a flock of one color. Only the final board counts. NO LUCK Every pile — and the order in which they vanish — is visible from your very first move. There is nothing to draw and nothing to hope for. If you fall short, there was a better line, and you can find it. Stars are awarded at 55%, 75% and 92% of the best score possible on that exact board. Match the best score, and the firing is perfect.
