Extra factors are added like white shapes that can take on any colour, black shapes that get rid of other colours, and dotted lines that can shield shapes from changing colour, but none of these complicate the experience enough to stop Color Zen from being a relaxing diversion. With a striking abstract art style of geometric shapes, the goal of each level is to connect objects of the same colour to make the whole screen turn the colour indicated in the background – it sounds simple enough, but the puzzles get incredibly complex as it goes on. While Abyss' mesmerising aesthetics juxtaposed its stressful control scheme, Color Zen doesn't care how long you take to do anything, so you can play it at your leisure whether you're a hardcore puzzle fanatic or a casual observer with little gaming experience.Ĭolor Zen utilises a minimalist approach in every aspect of the game, right down to the textless menu screens that feature icons for all your options. The iOS/Android success-story has finally arrived on Wii U, and unlike many recent mobile ports to Nintendo consoles Color Zen is a joy to play. It's a puzzle game with no time limit or scoring system: you simply match colours and unwind. Still, it’s a good entry for the eShop, and a recommendation for those who loved the first game.If you enjoyed Abyss earlier this month and you're thirsting for another relaxing, atmospheric Wii U eShop title with a smooth electronic soundtrack, Color Zen is exactly what you're looking for. The soundtrack is again good and the design is better than the previous game, but it offer a fourth of Color Zen’s number of levels at the same price. Sadly, the quantity of levels is lower this time, and like the previous game, the manual is lacking (but you can see the tutorial anytime) and the replay value limited.Ĭolor Zen Kids is a good sequel for Color Zen. The presentation is nice again, giving a good explanation of the game and a nice menu design. In general, Color Zen Kids aims to offer the same relaxing experience with a more friendly design. The music of the game keeps the same style, and well, the same artist from Color Zen, and like I said in the other review, it’s a soundtrack that can be enjoyed better with headphones. The game looks nice using abstract shapes, most of them animals I find the designs of Color Zen Kids better than the previous game in overall for some reason. The controls of the game are the same, you use the tactile screen of the Gamepad to move the shapes, but instead of tapping the screen to see the pause menu, there’s a button in the bottom-left of the screen. The difficulty of the game in overall is more easy than Color Zen, but the main problem with the game is the quantity of levels: at the same price, you get 100 levels instead of the 460 ones, and that is a big difference of value. White shapes can be combined with any color, black will make disappear the shapes and the dotted lines shield your shapes from changing colors. The goal is still the same: you win by connecting the objects of the same color until you fill the screen with the color indicated in the corner of the screen. Like the previous entry, Color Zen Kids is a puzzle game using geometric pieces, but this time there’s a difference: the level design (I will explain this later). What is the difference between Color Zen and Color Zen Kids? Well, the levels and the intended audience.
