This game starts off deceptively simple but the later levels frustrated me to no end. It's very hard to predict what chain reactions certain moves will cause, which resulted in me brute-forcing a lot of levels and not really understanding what I was doing. However, during the 10 extra levels that changed for me: I looked more at what moves are and aren't possible, what colours can't be the final one and which ones can, ... I ended up really enjoying the final five or so levels, they felt like an actual puzzle with a catch, eureka moment, all that! That logical reasoning was probably the intended experience all along, but it's a shame it took so long to get to that point. More predictable mechanics (or more warm-up levels for new mechanics) would have helped in this regard. Ultimately I think I'd still recommend the game, but don't underestimate it.

About This Game
Achromatic is a minimalist puzzle game about connecting dots in order to transform them all to one cohesive color. Draw a straight line between two dots of the same color to paint the dots between them. However, you can only change dots of one color at a time. You'll quickly encounter unique dots with exciting properties. For example the square dot lets you change the direction of your line, or the triangle dots are synchronized such that changing one of them changes all of them.
Achromatic features an original and relaxing sound track to accompany its polished minimalist aesthetic. Its smooth difficulty curve will teach you the mechanics and gently ease you into more difficult levels. All levels were carefully designed by hand to ensure the best puzzling experience possible. For those craving a challenge, bonus levels are available after beating the game to really test your logic skills.
