About Color Flood
Color Flood starts with an eight-by-eight board of mixed colors and a single claimed region in the top-left corner. Each time you pick a color, your region turns that color and swallows every touching square of the same shade. The aim is to turn the whole board one color before your fourteen moves run out, so every choice has to count. It rewards clean, economical planning.
Tips and strategy
- Before each move, scan the border of your flooded area and choose the color that appears on the most neighboring squares.
- Do not pick the color you already own. It does nothing to the board but still uses up one of your moves.
- Think about reach as well as size. A color that connects to a long chain of same-colored squares can swallow a whole strip in one tap.
- Leave lone squares for later. Once the squares around them are the color you are flooding with, they get absorbed along the way.
- Keep an eye on the moves remaining counter. If a board seems tough, a well-played run often finishes in around ten to twelve moves, so there is a little slack.
What it exercises
Color Flood trains planning under a limited budget, pattern scanning and greedy-versus-long-term thinking. You learn to weigh an immediate gain against how a move opens up future options, a skill that applies to many strategy and optimization tasks and to everyday resource planning.
Frequently asked questions
- How many moves do I get in Color Flood?
- You have fourteen moves on the eight-by-eight board. If the board is not one solid color by then, the round ends and you can reset for a new random layout.
- Where does the flood start in Color Flood?
- It always spreads from the top-left corner. Choosing a color recolors that connected region and absorbs touching squares that already match.

Block Fit
Place polyomino pieces onto a grid until every cell is covered exactly once. Every piece has a place — the goal is finding the exact arrangement that leaves no empty cell and no piece left over.
Bubble Shooter
Aim your launcher and fire colored bubbles up into the wall — bank shots off the side walls for tricky angles — and match 3 or more of the same color to pop them, with dangling bubbles falling away too. Watch for 💣 bombs that blast everything nearby and ⭐ Color Bursts that clear every bubble of one color at once. Miss too many times and a fresh row pushes the whole wall down toward the red line. Clear a wall and the game automatically moves you to the next level.
Number Shooter
Fire numbered tiles up into five columns and match equal numbers to merge them into double. Tiles touching an equal number above, beside or below merge, and merges can chain into big combos. Every few shots a new row of tiles drops from the ceiling, so keep every stack below the red danger line and chase a high score.
