Color Zen is another addition to the genre of
pick-up-and-play games. It is a puzzle game which is not as simple as its
predecessors.
What are the interesting features of Color Zen??
The concept of the game remains the same i.e.,
changing the colour of the screen which would be matching the colour of the
border of the level. When two similar coloured shapes collide, the colour of
the screen gets changed. This would explode the shapes and the background will
be painted with the same colour as that of the shapes.
You will begin by entering small pink balls into
pink coloured squares to match the borders. Suddenly you will start confronting
several challenges which are completely new in this particular game.If some free flowing shapes of the same colour as
the newly painted backdrop appear on the screen, then your background will be
lost. You can only move the throbbing shapes. White shapes assume the colour of
whatever touches them while the black shapes destroy whatever they touch
including themselves. The first six levels of the game introduce these concepts
in the beginning of the level. The introduction of such concepts provides you
with diverse mechanics which would be exciting. Unfortunately these stages are
very basic, tutorial kinds where much of thought is not required.
After completing the beginner levels, the puzzles
of Color Zen are engaging and innovative. But you will not find these levels
very challenging. Most of the challenges can be broken down to numbers game and
capability to count back from the end goal at the borders.

What is appealing are the elaborate mosaics which
provide beautiful layouts, capable enough to distract you away from the game. Also
when the different shapes collide they produce eloquent designs. The choice of
colours is deliberate which make the gaming experience unforgettable.
Color Zen is not endowed with any of the features
like score keeping, timer etc. which encourage highly competitive play. This is
an ideal game for those who get easily flustered while playing. The game is a
big put-off when it comes to providing exciting incentives for “retry” levels
like faster completion. Also the levels of the game are for very short duration
which hinders the experience to last for long.
However, the terse nature of Color Zen will make
you crave for more. It’s interesting colour-bursting tactics and gorgeous
layouts will be ultimate visual treats for you. They will compel you to stop
and savor this rich experience. What I pray for is a level editor to be available
for this game soon which would allow me to design my own challenges.
Color Zen is a beautiful experience from beginning
till the end, with my only wish that the levels could be stretched for some
more time.
