Puralax is a simple puzzle game where you need to paint every colored tile into one single color to complete each level. Each level has a different target color, indicated by the color of the top bar on the screen. Rules are simple: You can move colored tiles between white empty cells in vertical or horizontal directions (one cell at a time), or you can paint a neighbor tile by dragging one tile into another. Each tile has a limited amount of moves, shown by little white dots inside it. When you paint one tile, you can generate a chain reaction that will begin to paint every attached tile from the same color. The first six levels comes with an assistant that remind you the rules and tells you which tiles move where. So, what are you waiting for? Start painting, and remember... colors are alive!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Echo Ways holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puralax has 30 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Puralax's written reviews are positive against 50% of Echo Ways's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Puralax ships an update every 2 months, Echo Ways monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
