How to Play
Your controlled region starts as the single cell in the top-left corner. Below the board are 6 colour buttons. Tap a colour to change your entire flood region to that colour, absorbing any adjacent cells that match.
- Start from the top-left corner cell
- Tap a colour button to change your region's colour
- Adjacent cells of the chosen colour merge into your region
- Fill 100% of the board within 25 moves to win
Tips and Strategy
Pro tip: Always pick the colour that will add the most cells to your flood region. Look at the border of your region and count which colour appears most frequently.
- Expand toward the largest connected groups of the same colour
- Early moves matter most - a few wrong picks at the start can cost the game
- If two colours would absorb the same number of cells, pick the one that opens up a path to a larger group
- The percentage indicator helps you track progress - aim for 5%+ per move on average
Scoring
If you clear the entire board, your score is 500 + (remaining moves x 100). For example, clearing in 20 moves scores 500 + (5 x 100) = 1000. If you run out of moves, your score is based on the percentage of the board you flooded.
