Color Fill - A Flood Fill Puzzle Game

HOW TO PLAY COLOR FILL GAME

Color Fill is a puzzle game where a bit of planning goes a long way. This guide covers the basic rules and practical tips that will help you approach each level with a clearer strategy.

What is Color Fill?

Color Fill gives you a grid filled with colored blocks and a straightforward goal: make everything match the target color. The challenge comes from having limited moves, where each click affects all connected blocks of the same color. This Color Fill game is easy to learn but requires some thinking to solve efficiently.

Game Setup and Components

The game features a rectangular grid with blocks in four colors: blue, red, yellow, and green. Some levels include gray obstacle blocks that cannot be clicked or changed. On the right side, you'll find the color palette for selecting colors, and above the grid, you can see your remaining moves and the target color.

How to Play: Step by Step

Select a color from the palette on the right

Click any grid block that has a different color than your selection Your chosen color spreads to the clicked block and all blocks of the same color connected to it Plan your next move to connect separate areas or work toward the target color Continue until the entire grid matches the target color within the move limit

Core Strategy: Connect Areas First

The most useful approach is connecting scattered areas before trying to change them. When you see the same color split into different sections, look for ways to link them together first. This gives you better control over larger areas in your next moves, making your limited moves more effective.

Useful Tips and Techniques

Fast Color Switching for Wave Effects

If you click quickly, you can create interesting visual wave effects as colors spread across the grid. PC players can use number keys (1, 2, 3, 4) to switch colors rapidly, while mobile players can achieve the same effect by tapping the color palette quickly. This doesn't change the game mechanics, but it creates a satisfying multi-layered animation.

Planning Ahead

Take a moment to study the grid before making moves. Consider how your current action will change the layout and what new opportunities it might create. Sometimes the less obvious move sets up better possibilities for later.

Install as an App

You can install Color Fill directly to your phone's home screen for easy access. On most mobile browsers, look for the share button and select 'Add to Home Screen'. This creates an app-like experience without taking up much storage space.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
