Dye Hard

Read full description

Aim. Match. Blast. Dye Hard is a colour-matching shooter puzzle. Deploy your coloured squad, line them up against the lanes ahead, and clear the horde before it reaches you. Every unit only fires at its own colour — so the real puzzle is who you send, and when. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap to deploy a unit from your tray onto the board • Only the frontmost unit fires, so ordering is everything • Every unit carries limited ammo — waste it and the lane keeps coming • Welded squads move as one block. Break them up or use them as a wall • Camouflaged units hide their true colour until they reach the front BOOSTERS FOR TIGHT SPOTS • Add Tray — one more slot to work with • Hand — pull a unit back out of trouble • Shuffle — redeal the board when nothing lines up • Super Shooter — clear a lane the loud way KEEP PLAYING • Hundreds of handcrafted levels, with more added over time • Daily rewards that build up the longer you keep your streak • A Battle Pass season with unlockable rewards on every tier • Season League — climb the ranks against other players • Add friends and compare scores on your own leaderboard Dye Hard is free to play. It includes optional in-app purchases and ads, and an optional purchase to remove ads. Play in English, Turkish, German or French.
