This is perhaps the most ingenious mode in the game, with logic puzzles that would make you pull your hair out. The next is "Reflection," another 120 puzzles where the movements you make with shapes on one half of the screen affect the movement of shapes on the other half. The first is "Classic," 120 levels where you'll learn the gameplay basics and form all sorts of geometric artistry. There's no multiplayer or online play in Color Zen instead, you get four lengthy single-player modes to choose from.

Aside from presenting puzzles for the player to solve, each level is like a work of art, resembling the abstract shapes of mountain ranges and sunsets, so it's a joy simply to watch the game in motion. The big difference between the GamePad and TV is in the visual department: colours and shapes appear much more vivid and smooth on the TV screen than on the GamePad, so despite the off-TV option you'll want to appreciate Color Zen on your television. The TV monitor and GamePad display all the same information, which allows for easy off-TV play it would've been nice to add a Wii Remote control option, but for such a budget-priced game this isn't by any means a deal breaker. To counter the extreme difficulty of some later puzzles, Color Zen is easy to retry over and over again each level is very short, and you can reset everything at the touch of a button without any sort of penalty. 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. 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.
