  Pretty easy and cheap puzzle game. It's pretty clunky but worth a little time for $2.

  Nice concept but needs some of the UI needs work. Having to line up gameplay elements to activate the menu is a cute idea but gets old quickly. Feels more like a guessing game than a logic puzzle at times. The coloured rings should stay at the goal colour once you have discovered it, otherwise you spend more time trying to remember what colour you're trying to get to rather than actually getting to it. Nice graphics and stable game.

  Review of the verision 1.1: I like the idea of the game and it looks nice and stable. But that said, the game is missing some logic and fun. Here are the goods and bads so far: Negatives: - The need for line up to get the menu. Skip that, please just show the menu - It would be nice if the puzzlenumber is also shown on each puzzlescreen and not just on the overview screen - The timetrailscore is only fun if you know the solution from start and tried the puzzle over and over again - I miss some kind of logic to the color part of the puzzles. Its mostly trial and error. Thats is no fun. The lightbulb helps, but punish you if used. I think it would be nice if I was able to figure out what color a given circle should have just by looking at the puzzle - Maybe put in some colorblendings. Yellow and blue should give us a green irl. Why not in the game as well - Why not add some achivements? - If some logic was added to the puzzles I would like to have that score in the puzzleoverview instead of the timetrail progress - I seem to have trouble with the prisms. If I got some setup to work and then move one beam, and it stop working, then it doesn't go back to work, if I move the beem back (see fx. puzzle 22). Positives: - The programmer(s) seems to listen and correct the problems. - The game looks nice and stable (except for the prisms) - The game idea is good, just needs some logic with the colors - Easy to control the lines with the mouse (from update 1.1). Could still be improved with some fixed positions if my beam hits a circle. Sometimes I have to hit the circle within a few pixels - Cheap pricetag Result: I like this kind of game, it just need improvements and logic. Because of the negatives mentioned above I fairly fast left the game. It has potential, but is no fun if there is no logic involved. Grade: 3/10

  Killermouse's review really captures the flaws with the game - but I feel that the game having 100% dislike-rating is way to harsh. It is afterall a kinda neat concept with potential and they are only asking for 1,99€.

  The game looks very nice (its made with unity engine), and design is great Yes, its a casual game. Its start easy (just some colors to adjust) then others levels get more difficult. But you wont rage quit, I promise you;) I have play the version 1;1 of Pigmentone and developper continue to improve the game. - More pragmatic information: games is cheap ;)

  Well, I am, what they call, a newbie at this game. Frankly I played for 7 mintues, out of which 5 mintues has gone in training/rules. I know I'm too new to even-I don't know what the fuck to compare with. Here's the reason why I got here to REVIEW this game is because- yeah, It's very awesome game. You not really need to got down the rules pretty good but you also need some colour sense. What I mean by that?-You need to know that colour(s) need to be mixed up to get the required one. I'm fucking loving it. Hope you do to.

  This is a cute little game that unfortunately suffers from problems that change the game from a fun experience at the start of the game to an incredibly frustrating one later on, and from what I can see, most of the problems come from a very strange design approach, stated even blatantly here on the store page: it's more of a guessing game than a logic puzzle. It should very well be a logic puzzle, but yet it isn't. Trial and error drives the majority of the game. You have to find out what color every circle should be, and then you have to figure out by trial and error what combination of colors create that color. Why by trial and error? Because this isn't a logic puzzle. This is a guessing game. Once you find out where the colors need to be, you connect everything and you're done, because almost none of the puzzles contain any sneakily placed barricades and the ones that do are incredibly obvious, because otherwise this would be a logic puzzle instead of a guessing game. The further you go into the game, the more elements it introduces. The problem is that they don't behave like you'd think they do. The prisms split two combined colors back into their original colors into rays in predetermined places. The problem is that sometimes they don't do that at all. On multiple occasions I've seen rays being split into two rays of the same color, because the game expects only one solution, and won't accept any other input than the intended one, and gives a weird result. The 'puzzle' in the 5th screenshot in this store page is one in which this happens all the time. The pipes are another element that don't quite work right. If you fire a ray at the pointed end of the pipe, the ray just goes in that direction, defying all logic. It falls quite in line with the theme. As you move on, the puzzles never become more challenging because that's impossible to do with a guessing game. They just become more convoluted. 'Puzzle' 43 (of only 50) is so bizarrely convoluted that it took me an hour of staring at it before I finally figured all color conbinations out and got everything in their right places. The game also features medal rewards for getting a right time on the levels, but all that takes is memorizing the combinations and connecting everything as fast as possible. This would be an unbelievable bizarre idea in a logic puzzle game, but it isn't. Very strange is the fact that a game like this doesn't have a way to make your own puzzles. It looks like a game that would benefit greatly from it, letting people make actual logic puzzles out of the material. Unfortunarely, the 50 levels the game comes with are the only ones you'll see, which isn't that much. What's worse is that this game either doesn't have an ending or the last level in the game is broken. Once you solve it, the timer stops. You still have full control of everything, but the game just stops progressing. I made a post about it but nothing has been done. I'm sorry, but I do not see how this game could be worth your time. It's not even a good time-waster since it only has 50 levels. Don't buy this.

  Well, I suppose it doesnt falsely advertise when it says its a guessing game. Guessing and memorisation, thats about it. There is no puzzle in this puzzle game, but I put it on to keep my hands busy while watching more entertaining things. That is until the levels became almost impossible due to bugs where prisms dont split colours correctly. (Or at all, but I think thats deliberate. Its genuinely hard to tell.) You can try wrestle round them by switching off one colour then returning it to reset how the prism splits. Though making certain patterns in the process of doing this will, despite the very simplistic graphics, make things stutter and struggle. This is ignoring such tedious mechanics as parts that only show up when you sweep a beam over them for... apparently no reason at all, it adds nothing but one more item to memorise if you ever want to torture yourself with completing the time challenges, which are also largely pointless. Oh, and I nearly forgot that some of the colours are almost identical and many of them, because of the unintuitive way they mix, and total lack of any real logic or suggestion by design require multiple tiers of guessing as you mix the main colours, that may or may not have to be mixed again to get the right hue. In short, this is a terrible 'game'. If its on sale you might pick it up as I did, as something to mess with. Though, the fact it ended up failing at that much makes me suspect youd have a much better time hurling a pack of cards on the floor and trying to guess which number and suit the face down ones are. Itd be essentially the same experience.

  Would be better as an iOS game.

  It's a bit of a guessing game, yeah, but! Once you figure out the rules it's like paintball with lazors! I love this game! Awsome! Well done! :)

  Interesting concept. However the author of the game does not seem to understand that puzzle games and time limits do not go well together. Time limits do not make puzzles fun.
