Colorfill

Colorfill is a puzzle game full of filled with dangerous gears and shapes. The aim of the game is to fill as much as the screen as you can using your cursor. From where you click, the cursor well extend it’s lines in a vertical or horizontal manner. You can change the direction the lines extend by pressing the spacebar. You are also able to destroy or duplicate shapes depending on the colors used. Some elements of this game remind me of Filler. Anyways, this game is pretty darn boring. The first 18 levels are pretty easy but the extra bonus levels are pretty annoying. In some cases your gonna have to be very patient and wait for an opening.

I felt that after releasing your cursor the lines extends a bit slow. Although, increasing the speed of the line would dramatically decrease the difficulty of the game. Also, another problem I witnessed is having to wait and be patient when trying to release the cursor. I thought in my head head that this problem could be fixed by randomizing how the shapes move, but then again it could decrease the difficulty of this game. To conclude this statement, the developer did execute this game properly. Pretty much all I said in the past paragraph is useless and irrelevant, so just ignore it.

As you progress each level you’ll notice a small increase of difficulty as well as new enemy shapes introduced. There are also extra bonus levels to test your “patience” skills. The ideal strategy to beat this game is to wait for an opening, which isn’t really a skill more of an annoyance.

To destroy shapes you need to trap shapes. How do you trap shapes? By having a different colored cursor then the color of the shapes. Please note, that when trying to fill the an area the section that covers less space between the two after releasing the mouse will be filled.

Pretty easy, just do it on the first level. To duplicate a shape you just have to trap a shape with your cursor where both have the same color.

Well, as stated before the general strategy is to wait for an opening. But a save file has been uploaded generously by Juru. Don’t get too excited tho. You still have to finish level 18 and extra bonus level 3. I uploaded a video for the bonus level since I didn’t find level 18 to be too hard.

In the end getting past the little bits of bothersome elements I found, the game was not that bad. Some may argue that it’s another copy of Filler, but in it’s entirety, I believe it is original by most respects.
