About game
Fans of relaxing color sort puzzles will find a new favorite way to unwind with Color by Color. You get to turn scattered groups of crystals into beautiful pixel art by placing every piece in its correct home. Clicking a group sends crystals to matching cells or your temporary storage tray automatically. Once a spot opens up on the board, you tap your stored items to lock them firmly into place. Completing entire color sets grants you more storage space to juggle tricky pieces later on. You can zoom in to see every detail of the animals and objects you build piece by piece. Customizing backgrounds and crystal styles helps you match the visual aesthetic to your own mood. Since there are no timers or move limits, you can focus on the satisfaction of completing each mosaic at your own pace. You can play this browser puzzle for free right now without any downloads required.
How to play
Your goal is to fill each colored cell with a matching crystal and restore the whole picture.
Click or tap a movable group of crystals. In the default mode, the game sends the group to suitable empty cells automatically, using available space in the storage tray to hold crystals temporarily.
When matching cells become available, click or tap a stored crystal to return pieces of that color to the board. Correctly placed crystals lock in. Keep going until the picture is complete.
Drag to move around the board. Zoom with the mouse wheel or a two-finger pinch. In Settings, you can switch to a mode where a second click or tap chooses the destination. Use Auto Move for help when it is available.
