Color
Glide
In this
puzzle game, you have to move blocks into holes of the same colour.However,
these objects are placed in a maze, so the path isn't always straightforward.
It gets tricky when there is more than one block because whenever you move one
block, the others “glide“ in the same direction. You must follow a particular
sequence before slotting each to their respective holes. When two dissimilar
blocks collide, they combine to form a new colour.
For
instance, a blue and yellow square will create a green one. But if there aren't
any green holes in the maze then you will have to replay the level. Also, you
have to complete the level within a certain number of moves.Doing so earns you
gems, which you can use to unlock additional levels later. It gets even more
challenging when more colours are introduced. And as you progress, you will get
walls in the maze that behave differently with certain blocks and “death“ holes
that destroy squares. Color Glide sports a simple design with over 30
brainteasing levels that will keep you occupied for quite a while.Android, iOS
