Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
To be able to customize the colors rather than choosing from presets. The current options dont work for our needs making it less enjoyable than it could be. Thank you for such a pleasant game.
We like how it show you the kaleidoscope Charging.
If you're drawn to intricate patterns and dynamic visuals, Colorscope by Next Games BVBA is a puzzle game that turns abstract shapes into hypnotic, kaleidoscopic displays. The premise is simple yet deeply engaging: players must manipulate and contort shapes to construct an image. But the real magic unfolds once a level is completedthe static image springs to life, morphing into mesmerizing shifting patterns reminiscent of a kaleidoscope, or perhaps even delicate snowflakes. At first, the difficulty of Colorscope seemed daunting. The mechanics demand patience and precision, and mastering the art of aligning shapes takes time. However, as we pushed through the challenge, the game revealed its rewarding depth. The satisfaction of completing a level and watching the transformation is unparalleleda creative payoff unlike any puzzle game Ive played before. Beyond the gameplay, Colorscope offers a refreshing, meditative experience. The soothing motion of the completed images creates a unique visual feast, making each level not just a challenge but a sensory delight. It's a game that manages to be both complex and calming, offering players a truly distinctive puzzle adventure. If youre up for a challenge that combines art, motion, and problem-solving, Colorscope might just be the perfect fit.
Edit: The game has been fixed!!! Thank you so much Im buying all of the packs immediately! (Outdated Review) This is legitimately one of the absolute best games on our phone and has been for awhile. We beat it on an older phone and decided to come back to it now to replay all of the packs, but the awesome kaleidoscope animations in between each level get stretched and warped as we progress further in the game starting at about level 10. We want to keep playing this game so badly, but the animations being messed up is just so off putting for us having already been through the game once. We would buy all of the packs again on our new phone in a heartbeat if we wasnt worried about the animations functioning, and Im still tempted to buy a smaller pack to test juuusstt in case its only a glitch with rainwave, (Ill probably do that later today regardless honestly) but we dont have super high hopes. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the game several times now to no avail, and we even downloaded it on our partners phone out of desperation but its glitching there too so it might have something to do with the new IOS updates? Its been like this for a few months now and hasnt changed at all, Ive checked back up on it every once and awhile just in case it happens to magically start functioning again. Im not sure, but it looks like the game maybe hasnt been updated in bit, and we dont know how to reach out to the devs for support except through reviews here, so we hope this works and they try and fix the issue!! We love this game and we want to keep playing it so badly, so if there is a way to fix this glitch it would like, legit make our year Im not even kidding this is our favorite game. We would change our review to 5 stars so fast if this glitch was fixed because this game is absolutely worth every penny Ive spent on it.
Ive been playing this game for years and Im still not through the free puzzles. If we played it every day instead of long breaks between sessions we would have run out. Regardless, theres no reason you couldnt start over with the initial puzzle pack once you get to the end of it.
Not too hard to be annoying. Lol. Gradually more challenging. We think we are very good at this and other games like it Im but not bored. Awesome animated interludes. Relaxing sounds.
This is one of our favorite puzzle games! You get a really good number of levels for free, then you can buy additional packs. The shapes change to keep it it interesting and fresh so it hasnt gotten repetitive at all. Also, there are NO ADS! (So of course Ill pay for additional levels!).
Colorcube is one of our favorite iOS games and Colorscope feels like a wonderful sequel to it, with a similar mechanic of mixing colors (of light), a beautiful yet minimal interface, and pleasant background music. The kaleidoscope dynamic to the game is a terrific build upon the concepts introduced in Colorcube.
We love this game, its so satisfying when you figure it out and it is so colorful! We like the variety of puzzles that you can do and the different pieces. We have a suggestion tho, make a Discord server so people can talk about the game.
We loved Colorcube so was ecstatic to find the devs new puzzle game. The puzzles are difficult, but not overly so. Looking forward to more puzzle packs or sequels.
Love this unique puzzle game it is very calming.
This game is super aesthetically pleasing, calming, and fun. Plus it basically has no ads from what we can tell.
A puzzle completely unlike other tile placement puzzles. First by having mirrored symmetry. Second by having the colors blend in an absolutely beautiful and unique way. The game then takes these traits and combines them into a multifaceted puzzle thats more than just placing tiles in the game area. There are plenty of free levels enjoy and if you wan more, the shop has just that, each puzzle pack getting its own color palette. The game goes even deeper into color perception and offers color modes for those color vision deficiencies; as well as a greyscale option. Its a simple; but masterfully, beautifully, and creatively designed game worth installing it wont disappoint. On a different subject this game is great inspiration for pharmaceutical logos.
We have only good things to say about this its great and so satisfying, Great job.
This looked like a high quality app but we couldnt tell how fun it might be. Thankfully, it has proven very entertaining while still being tough.
This might be one of our favorite puzzle games ever. As soon as you get the hang of a level, it switches up on you and you have to get the hang of it all over. Some puzzles are real head scratchers and there are no hints (and no walkthrough websites up, so far) so you have to keep trying til you crack it. Our one point of improvement would be that once you solve a puzzle, we wish it would stay on screen instead of immediately going kaleidoscope, because sometimes you solve them by accident and its surprising when the puzzle starts animating because you solved it. We rather take a moment to look at the solved puzzle and appreciate how the pieces fit together to make it. Also- we just started quilting and this game gives us a lot of inspiration for future quilt patterns.
Ive never made an in game purchase so quickly. Each level is the perfect amount of difficulty, each puzzle piece perfectly designed, each note of the soft music is simply perfect. This is an easy download for anybody, and the level packs are well worth the money.
A great follow-up to Colorcube (which Ive replayed at least twice), a fun kaleidoscopic twist on the concept with an incredible quantity of puzzles.
Unique concept, elegant design, nice music and soundscape. We really like this game! Unfortunately the coding is not as elegant as the game, which means it heats our phone up rather quickly. Colorscope is just about as graphically simple as a game can be: just a handful of simple 2D shapes and colors, yet our phone starts to heat up after about 15 minutes of play. Ive got games with sophisticated 3D environments and complex graphics that leave our phone perfectly cool, regardless of how long we play them. We were about to order some new Puzzle Packs for this game but the heat from our phone stopped us. We gave this game 5 stars because we like it so much, but Colorscope deserves to have its coding cleaned up. We wish Next Apps good luck.
The puzzles are fun and unique. Theyre not the most challenging at first but theyre still rewarding to figure out. The music and atmosphere is unique. But most importantly there are no ads! We got up to level 60 and there wasnt a single ad, the most that happens is the occasional ask to rate it every 15 levels or so.
A wonderful follow-up to Colorcube, which is exactly what we were hoping for. The puzzles are not too difficult but just challenging enough to keep us interested, and the understated graphics are beautiful. The kaleidoscopic animation between levels is mesmerizing, especially at levels 41+ because of the additional plane of symmetry. Looking forward to playing more.
This is a beautiful zenful game and we REALLY appreciated that the devs didnt ruin it with a ton of ad breaks. It doesnt take too long to work through the free content. The additional packs are well priced and Im happy to purchase more content to support this experience.
Beautiful, fun, clever, rewarding. And fair – 60 free levels. Id like to see an option for subtractive as well as additive color-mixing for every puzzle set, but but thats just being picky. We get subtractive color on the second level. And kudos for including several different variations for partially color-blind viewers. A quiet gem.
The artwork is amazing, especially between the levels.
Very well done game that feels cathartic while providing a rewarding challenge that very gradually increases. One of the best phone games to pass time while still provoking thought.
Honestly this game is so relaxing. We don't like games when there a barely any free stuff and u have to buy the majority of the game. However, they give you like 60 free levels and if you want there are so many app purchases that are 1 to 2 dollars packed with so much fun. The game play is awesome and chill. The graphics and the music with it is so calming. It makes us feel in peace at the end of each day. 100% recommended.
This game make us feel so calm and peaceful idkw. Im not really good at writing review or anything related to words but this game is sooo great that we gotta write a positive review for it !!! (Sorry our english might be rusty, hope you can understand.
Its so satisfying when you finish a level and it is all scopey and beautiful. What if there was a zen mode where you could make your own and watch it do its thing? Am we tight? Or am we right.
This game is really addictive once you get the hang of it! The only problem we have is that it makes our phone run really hot and drains our battery super fast. If there is a fix for this we would have no problem giving five stars. Device: iPhone 11 Pro iOS 15.5.
The bg music is way too creepy but otherwise fun and challenging game.
Relaxing little game, we love the kaleidoscope effects between levels (usually would skip right past, but in this case they add to it). Played through the free puzzles in a few days. A bit guess and check, meaning its not too challenging, but nice to fill time and a fun brain teaser.
We are trying to purchase the medium pack. A medium pack is listed in the App Store, but the link doesnt go thru. The in-game purchase does not offer a medium packs, just individual medium games for $.99 each, which is more expensive. The App Support link goes to a site that has no working links. Help please.
We thought the puzzles were interesting, a bit challenging and provided fun. However, we felt the game was way too short. 60 levels only lasts so long and we breezed through them within a couple days. We dont have issues paying for apps that we like, but we dont like paying for multiple little level packs. Id rather the app cost a one time payment that would grant access to everything. We would recommend downloading, but we wouldnt get too attached unless you are willing to pay for multiple packs.
We really loved this app, we love games that challenge our brain and it did just that, however we were done with the 60 free puzzles in a week and now the only way for us to play new ones it to purchase a pack:( we dont like purchasing things for games and we're sad that there is no new puzzles for us without paying.
We couldn't figure out the mechanics of the game and we just got frustrated and deleted it. We thought it was going to be a puzzle where you guess how the layers of shadows and colors are laid out, but it's not that simple.
Its cool that the developers are trying to get something going here and we get the concept but the game cant be relaxing if you cant get passed the fourth level. Moving colors around for a half hour isnt relaxing its just annoying.
