StrategyIs Pigmentone worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy trial-and-error color puzzles with beam routing
- Puzzle fans who want 50 levels built around recurring color and ray rules
- Players who like replaying puzzles to pursue faster completion times
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want deduction to replace experimentation may hit a wall when progress depends on repeated guessing and adjustments.
- Players seeking varied gameplay systems may lose interest after working through the same beam, receiver, prism, and pipeline rules across 50 levels.
- Players who dislike replaying solved puzzles may not value the time-trial scoring.
- Players who expect unrestricted hints may reject the penalty attached to the help system.
Our take on Pigmentone
The bounce point arrives when a receiver, prism, or pipeline produces an unexpected beam result. Players looking for rule-driven deduction may stop there, since progress depends on testing color combinations and routes rather than following material-color conventions.
What is Pigmentone?
Pigmentone is a color-routing puzzle game based on trial and error.
Emitters send colored beams and move along the edge of the screen. Receivers take on beam colors, combine colors, and pass results to other receivers. Each level is complete when every receiver has its required color. White rectangular obstacles block beams. Triangular prisms split combined colors when the beam comes directly from the receiver where the colors were combined. Hidden pipelines redirect beams along predetermined paths and appear when touched by a ray. The game uses colored-light combinations rather than material-color rules. It includes 50 levels, relaxing music, a time-trial score, and a help system that applies a penalty when used.
How Pigmentone plays
- 01Color routing
- Receivers can merge colors and send the resulting color onward to other receivers.
- 02Beam obstacles
- White rectangular barriers prevent rays from passing through them.
- 03Color-splitting prisms
- Triangular prisms divide a combined beam only when it arrives directly from the receiver that created it.
- 04Hidden pipelines
- Pipes redirect beams along predetermined paths and become visible when a ray reaches them.
- 05Timed scoring
- Completed puzzles can be revisited for a time-trial score.
- 06Penalized assistance
- Using the help system applies a penalty during puzzle solving.
