Hello colorful people, how are you doing?

I have some announcements to make about Sudokolorful.

After hearing your feedbacks, I decided to redesign some aspects of the experience and would like to let you know why of each change. I believe that games are a very powerful tool to make people’s life better, and this idea and made me rethink this game. When I design a game at OriOpa, I have this definition of what our games should be in mind: “An experience that helps people to improve their well-being”. Sudokolorful was until today kinda an okay experience, however, could be better on that. So, I made some major changes:

  • There’s no ranking system anymore. A ranking system adds competition to the experience, and it doesn’t go well with the idea of being a relaxing experience;

  • The same goes for the timer. It was attached to the ranking system and in my view adds the idea the needing of being always faster or having to perform better every time, which also goes against the idea behind our games;

  • Now you have only Quick Save and Quick Load, which saves only your last game. The previous save system was too complex for the minimalistic idea we had in mind;

  • The game was optimized for a better performance and smaller space usage, so it should be a smoother experience now. Also, more respectful with the environment;

  • A Progressive mode with up to 50 challenges and 4 variations each was added;

  • The old gameplay mode was remade and now it's called Random mode, with 90 challenges (will be added more in next updates) for you;

  • All challenges were handcrafted and tested to avoid double solutions.

New game is coming

Another major change for the studio was the definition of its identity. I decided to give some consistency on what kind of games we are making and now we are focusing on puzzle games with color as a core mechanic. Yes, from now, our games will be based in this theme as a starting point, in addition to well-being. Colorful Dotlines will be our second entry in the Colorful franchise. Wishlist and follow the game to receive our announcements!
