Welcome to our review of Piczle Colors, the newest Piczle game out now on Nintendo Switch and it lives up to the reputation of the original!
Test your puzzling skills in new ways using colors to complete logic PICture-puzZLEs! From Score Studios, the makers of Piczle Lines DX, comes Piczle Colors!
Use the numbers around the side of the puzzle to work out how many blocks of which color should be painted in each row and column. Since the order of the numbers doesn’t determine the order you need to paint the colors you’ll need to stretch your brain to figure it out. Luckily there are two types of numbers that indicate if the colors should be painted together or separately.
Smaller puzzles ease you into this new way of thinking and you’ll soon be hooked, working your way through 6 color packs with 50 puzzles in each, ranging in size from 5×5 to 15×10. Clear puzzles without using hints to earn coins and unlock lots of cool extra features, such as trophies, a 3D model viewer and lots more.
Professor Matrix, Score-Chan, and D-Bug all return in a new story where their usual mischief this time see’s the world drain of its color. Find out what happens as you strive to return color to the world!
I love the Piczle Lines game and was very eager to start playing this new game from their hand, it looked a little like a Picross clone but it takes puzzle games to a whole different level really. Piczle colors is a wacky yet smart approach to the puzzle genre and it deserves some due credit for being awesome.
So the main objective is to color in the playing field by using semi Picross moves but also very different skill sets. You got 2 choices, the number shown is a line of connecting blocks of that specific color or they can not connect. So imagine you have 3 connecting and 2 non-connecting on a 5 blocks line. The only way you can place the 3 connecting ones is left side, middle or right side. Only the middle solution, however, allows the placement of the 2 others. As they can not connect, only left and the right side is possible.
Now imagine your playing field is expanding, colors are being added and the overall difficulty is increasing every level you pass. This is exactly what Piczle Colors is all about, it brings your thinking capability to the limit and will have you scratch your head more than once while finishing some levels.
Now it is no secret that I love these types of games, I think puzzle games are the hardest to make and best to play. Sure, I love action games, RPGs, Musou games, … But nothing beats a good puzzle game. I am currently in jetlag from my three week trip in Asia, Osaka and Hong Kong, my second home. I was up playing this game at 6 am already and I can just play hours in a row. Piczle Colors is that much fun and it becomes challenging as soon as about 2 hours into the game.
On top of the puzzles themselves, this game has a bunch of extras like statistics and trophies and more. If you like puzzle games, give this one a try, I am sure you will love it!
In conclusion, I know I am biased to give high scores to great puzzle games but in my humble opinion, Piczle Colors really deserves it. I fully support this 90% score I am giving!
