Color Flood

About Color Flood

Color Flood is a free online puzzle game about turning a whole grid of mixed colors into a single shade, one smart move at a time. You start from one corner region and pick color swatches to spread outward, swallowing every touching cell that matches the color you choose. The catch is the move limit: there are only so many taps before the level locks, so every choice has to earn its place. It is an easy game to understand in seconds and a satisfying one to master, rewarding the kind of thinking-ahead that makes a good tap-to-flood puzzle click.

Playing is simple: click a color swatch and your connected region repaints itself, pulling in any neighboring cells of that same color to grow your flooded area. Your goal is to make the entire board one color within the move limit to clear the level. Across the 15 levels the difficulty climbs steadily. Early boards use few colors and forgiving move counts so you learn the flow, while later ones pack in more shades, larger grids, and tighter limits that punish greedy moves and reward planning several steps ahead before you commit.

The key strategy is to look past the immediate biggest gain and chase the color that opens up the most new territory next turn, often building toward the far edges rather than nibbling nearby. Count your moves, watch which colors cluster, and set up chains that merge whole sections at once. Because each level is a fresh optimization puzzle, Color Flood is easy to replay for a better solve. It runs instantly in any modern browser on desktop and mobile with no download or install, and signing in free saves your progress across devices and puts your name on the all-time top-15 leaderboard.
