Our take on The Four Colour Theorem

The focused colouring rule keeps the game readable, but limits variety to increasingly difficult boards. Its lack of sound also leaves the experience centered on visual deduction and score chasing rather than audiovisual presentation.

What is The Four Colour Theorem?

The Four Colour Theorem is a puzzle game about assigning colours to connected picture regions while keeping regions of the same colour from touching.

It includes 50 handmade levels covering a wide range of difficulty, from straightforward layouts to demanding puzzles. Players can also build custom levels and share them with friends through the MyLevels folder. The game draws on the mathematical Four Colour Theorem and uses a simple rule set that becomes harder to master as boards progress. Its scoring gives completed puzzles a competitive angle, with higher scores available after solving a level. The game is intended for all ages and languages, and currently has no sound.
