About Color Flood
A patch with two big eyes sits in the corner of a board of colored squares. Each color your child picks repaints the patch, and it swallows every neighbor of that color. The goal is to flood the whole board with one color in as few moves as possible.
How to play
- Tap a color button or any square of the color you want.
- Pick the color that lets your patch grab the most squares.
- With a keyboard, press a number to pick a color and Z to undo.
