About

TintTide

Features
Read full description

TintTide is a relaxing yet challenging color memory game set beneath a vibrant ocean surface, where shimmering fish become the pieces of your mental puzzle. In each round you are briefly shown a carefully arranged school of colorful fish, and your only task is to memorize their exact color order before they all fade into gray. Once the tide turns, you must restore every fish to its original hue by selecting colors one by one, racing against a fixed 120-second clock as levels grow endlessly harder with more fish, richer palettes, and shorter memory windows. Score points for every correct recall, climb the local leaderboard, unlock achievements that celebrate your progress, and browse the color preview gallery to study each fish in detailโ€”all in a charming cartoon ocean world designed for quick sessions, focused play, and the quiet thrill of testing how sharp your instantaneous memory can become.
