Gem Coloring

Read full description

A puzzle about putting scrambled gems back where they belong, one picture at a time. Like diamond painting, every cell is printed with the color that goes there — so there is nothing to memorize. The color keeps showing through the gaps between the gems. ā–  How to play Ā· Tap a wrong gem and every connected gem of the same color is picked up with it Ā· Tap again to move them to a tray — trays are how you make empty space Ā· An empty cell only accepts the one color that belongs there. You cannot dump a gem anywhere Ā· A gem that lands in its own cell locks, so you cannot knock it loose by accident Ā· Tap a gem in a tray and it flies back to a cell that wants it Because an empty cell accepts exactly one color, this game has no dead ends. If there is a gem in a tray, there is an empty cell waiting for it. ā–  Time decides the stars Ā· Every stage has a time limit, and finishing sooner earns more stars (one, two, or three) Ā· Those limits are not guesses. Every design was solved end to end by an auto-player to count how many moves it actually takes, and the thresholds were set from that move count Ā· So more cells does not simply mean harder. Designs where the colors are tangled — where you spend moves just making room — take longer Ā· The star thresholds are drawn as notches on the time bar, so you always see which band you are in Ā· If the time runs out you can watch an ad for three more minutes (a stage finished that way is worth one star) Ā· Stars never go down. Clear it again later and the better result replaces it ā–  What is inside Ā· Cute, easy-to-recognize designs — Green Garden Ā· Tasty Bites Ā· On the Move Ā· Everyday Things Ā· Animal Friends Ā· Fruit & Treats Ā· Places & Views Ā· Play & Music Ā· Little Treasures Ā· Stages open in order, and you can filter the design list to Finished to see any picture you made, full size Ā· Send any finished picture again whenever you like. Finish every design in a pack and you get a card with all of them on one sheet Ā· Every design keeps your best time. Play it again to beat it, and we tell you how many seconds you shaved off Ā· Each design is marked Easy, Normal or Hard, so you know before you start Ā· Quests are here: clear 5 today for 50 gems, 100 more every ten stages, and 50 more every 20 stars — claim them from the home screen Ā· Trays open as you clear stages (the first one, then at 5). Want one more for this stage only? Watch an ad Ā· Three helpers sit along the bottom — a wand (sends one gem home), a magnet (every tray gem that has a home goes there at once) and an hourglass (turns the clock back a minute). Restock them in the shop with the gems you earn from stars Ā· Your stage saves itself. Close the app and pick up exactly where you left off Ā· A practice stage comes first, and you can replay it any time from Settings ā–  What is not inside Ā· No lives and no hearts. Running out of time costs you that one attempt, nothing else Ā· No sign-in, no friend invites, no daily streaks Ā· No account details are requested. Google AdMob handles ads; Firebase handles gameplay analytics and error diagnostics. See the privacy policy for details. ā–  Sound and screen Ā· Soft wooden-bead taps and a quiet background track. Sound, music and haptics each have their own switch Ā· Dark screen and reduced motion are supported Ā· ķ•œźµ­ģ–“ Ā· English Ā· ę—„ęœ¬čŖž Ā· Plays offline (a connection is only needed to watch an ad) Ads appear occasionally after you clear a stage, and never during your first two. Before bed, on the commute, or during a short break. The mind goes quiet one gem at a time.
