Aim. Shoot. Smash. Paint! Chromaroll is a colorful physics puzzle with a cannon. Every drum hangs on its strings, swings when you hit it and turns back into place. Time your shots, smash the armor plates off the shapes, and paint every shape before your ink runs out. AIM THE CANNON Drag to aim and let go to fire. The ring turns green when your shot will land. Lead the spinning drum and break the armor plates to uncover the shapes beneath. REAL PHYSICS Drums swing on their strings and twist when struck. Standing objects rock and can topple. Shoot a string by mistake and your work falls, so a careful hand keeps it all in play. PAINT, CARVE, PLAY THE TUNE Tap a shape to paint it its color. Each shape presses down like a piano key and plays a note of the level's tune. Carve colorful 3D objects and watch the shavings fly. SURPRISES AND ANIMALS Shoot the bomb off before it blows. Aim into the wind. Find the extinguisher and put out a burning string. Shoo the raccoon and the beaver, help the clumsy cat down, and stop the hungry birds before they eat through the strings. BONUS ROUNDS After every boss comes a bonus shooting round: break plates, pop balloons, knock down crates and catch the bandit for coins, hearts and power-ups. Bigger rounds wait at the end of every chapter. GUNS AND POWER-UPS Machine gun, shotgun, bazooka and more, plus five power-ups for the trickiest levels. A JOURNEY THROUGH 40 WORLDS Follow the painter raccoon down a winding 3D road through 40 painted worlds, from a sunny terrace to a rainbow palace in the clouds. Every 50 levels brings a new world with its own drum and cannon colors, and the road holds chests to open and bonus rounds to play. No internet? Keep playing: your progress, coins and rewards sync when you're back online. 2,000 LEVELS New tricks keep arriving through the first hundred levels, and the challenge keeps growing all the way to level 2,000. Finish faster for a bigger score and collect your finished artwork. Free to play, with optional in-app purchases, optional rewarded ads, and interstitial ads. A No Ads purchase removes interstitials.

FEATURES โ€ข Tons of hand-crafted levels with progressive difficulty โ€ข 3D top-down view โ€” blocks rise from the grid, taller blocks mean bigger numbers โ€ข Drag to draw, release to place โ€” intuitive one-finger controls โ€ข Hint and Skip tools to keep you moving forward โ€ข No time limits, no failure โ€” solve at your own pace โ€ข Clean minimal design with smooth 3D visuals NumCube reimagines the classic Shikaku puzzle in three dimensions.
