About

Flood Rush

Features
Read full description

Flood Rush is a calm color-flood puzzle. Tap a color, your top-left area absorbs every same-colored neighbor, and your goal is simple: turn the whole board into one color before you run out of moves. The rules click in seconds. The strategy keeps unfolding for 50 levels. How it plays - Tap a color from the palette at the bottom of the screen. - Your captured area takes that color and swallows every adjacent cell of the same color. - Repeat until the whole board is one color. - Each level has a fixed move limit. Beat it. Why people stick with it - Short rounds — one level fits a coffee break. - Real strategy — every tap reshapes the board, and the greedy pick is rarely the best. - No timer, no streaks to defend, no penalty for thinking. - Plays offline. 50 hand-tuned levels Boards grow from small teaching grids to larger 6-color challenges. Move limits are calibrated by simulation against a target win rate, so the difficulty curve stays smooth — the best path takes thinking, and a tough random board may ask for a retry. (Color-flood puzzles are NP-hard, so the optimal move is genuinely hard for both humans and computers.) A per-level record tracks your best score, so you can come back and squeeze a tighter solution out of a level you already cleared. A short interactive tutorial walks you through your first level, and you can replay it any time from the settings. If you like color-flood puzzles, color-fill games, or quiet brain games for short breaks, Flood Rush will feel right at home.
