bit Generations - Coloris (Japan)

Coloris is a deceptively simple yet highly addictive puzzle game on the Game Boy Advance. The objective of each level is to clear all the colored blocks from the screen. You do this by moving the colored blocks, arranging them so that three or more blocks of the same color are adjacent to each other horizontally or vertically. When this happens, those blocks disappear, and the blocks above fall down to fill the gaps.

Coloris's gameplay focuses on strategic planning and thoughtful moves. While controlling the blocks is easy, anticipating the next steps to create large chain reactions and clear multiple blocks simultaneously requires concentration and calculation. There's no time limit, but the suggested number of moves to complete each level is displayed, adding a small extra challenge.

Initially, levels are simple, with a small number of blocks that are easy to arrange. However, as you progress, the difficulty increases. The number of blocks increases, the blocks are arranged more intricately, and you'll need to think more to find effective solutions. Some levels require you to skillfully move the blocks to create chain reactions, clearing large numbers of blocks at once.

Coloris doesn't have many complex features, but its simplicity and addictive nature are what make the game so appealing. The graphics are simple but sharp, and the sound is light and unobtrusive, creating a relaxing yet challenging gaming experience.
