Your objective is to balance the game fields, that is, all squares have to be the same color. One color is guaranteed to achieve the result, others may or may not solve it.

By clicking on the square on the left you cycle its color along with two other squares on the right. The same process applies clicking on a square on the right. Triplets of squares are randomly selected at the start of the game.

By observing the triplets you can work out the order in which to click the squares to achieve balance.

I need sleep - could barely finish the 2x2 puzzles!

it is hard but it is a good game just like 2048.

So freaking hard! But good idea!

"difficult" huh? it's just 2x2.
*plays game*
man, this is HARD.

that said, I am digging the challenge, but it requires a lot of memorization.

I like this kind of game, but I cant finish the first puzzle. The simplicity of the gameplay is great though. Maybe you could put an indication of witch block will change before having to clic, like a overlay. Keep up the good work.

Doesn't fit very well with the theme of this ludum dare..
Eigenauthor25 Aug 2014, 21:00
I don't know, I think it's quite fitting. It doesn't get more connected than that and 'world' doesn't have to mean the world, you know.

Wow this is hard. I don't really like the idea of a hidden color. I think making all the tiles the same color is hard enough. But then again, I really suck at this game, I have a hard time understanding what's going on.

Really fun game! Nice job.

Sheepolution, I added a hint color button to show you the target color.

Nice interpretation of the theme with a good, clean look. Feels very polished already. Some gentle sound effects would be perfect.

The gameplay is hard but satisfying. I like a bit of brain exercise first thing in the morning and I really enjoyed this!

Nice clean design and think it's one I'll have to come back to and play when it's not the end of the day so I can actually solve one of the harder levels. Could see this playing really well on a mobile. Also like the different interpretation on the theme.

I liked it very much. Thanks for making a puzzle game. Nice design. :)

A+ for style. It is very difficult but fascinating. Would make a great little mobile game :)

Hi there. Found the puzzles extremely difficult, certainly not as trivial as 2048 ! Good job!
Pierrec28 Aug 2014, 23:32
An interesting concept, but a hellish difficulty, at least for me who isn't very good a puzzles. I didn't even managed to complete the easiest mode
Eigenauthor29 Aug 2014, 08:31
Don't worry and just try again, even I'm yet to solve the 3x2.
