Color Filler Remastered
Color Filler Remastered
Color Filler is a simple yet difficult grid-based puzzle game, where you try to fill in all the colored holes.
The first game-jam i ever participated in, was the first I Can't Draw But Want To Make A Game game-jam.
So when i saw that Charlmes was hosting a sequel, i had to join.
And i really glad i did!
I decided to remake/finish, the game i made for the first game-jam (Color Filler), as i really liked the concept, but didn't feel like it was polished or finished.
What i did/changed:
- I completely redid the code
I used most of the first week completely redoing the code, as the old code was horrible, and there were so many bugs and glitches, that made the game somewhat unplayable.
I also added move queuing and a redo button, as it was sorely needed, and it helped give the game a better user experience.
Oh, and I added a new block, the Mover! It should help make the later levels more complex. - I made a new sprite-sheet
I remade all of the sprites. I'm not sure the new sprite are better, but i felt that they had to be different from the old sprites.
So this time, the sprites are 32x32 instead of 16x16, so they have a little more detail.
I also added small dots to each of the colored blocks, so colorblind players can also play the game. - I added 25 levels
I added 25 new levels, so there in total are 45 levels.
Most of the new levels are a lot harder than the old, so now it is a bigger challenge to complete the whole game.
I really wanted there to be 50 levels, but unfortunately i didn't have time for the last 5... - I made a new menu
I made a whole new menu, as the old one was confusing and players had a hard time figuring out how to start a new game.
So I stuck with a basic menu with buttons. - I made a new song
I used the last few days of the jam to make another song, so now there are 2 songs.
I really wanted there to be even more songs, but like with the last 5 levels, I didn't have time for it.
I hope you enjoy the game!
Thank you for playing!

the game is fun, but why the limited number of undos? that adds NOTHING to the game. i would suggest unlimited undos if you are updating this game.
I felt the game became too easy with unlimited undoes. This was an intentional choice, so I won't be changing it. But I understand what you mean
maybe it's just me but i hate having limited undos. part of my solving method is doing something, finding what screws me up and undoing to fix that. however this just stops me from doing that. nice puzzle though!
and how is the game too easy with unlimited undoes? if the puzzle is hard, (or it depends on a interaction/idea that is hard to spot) then unlimited undoes shouldn't be a problem
I understand where your 're coming from, but I stand by my decision. My idea for the game was that the player had to have a lot of foresight when solving the levels. I didn't want players just trying different things until they solved the levels.
I'm glad you liked the game! Thank you for your feedback.
ah, so that was your intention. ok then! time to train my visualisation skills
TROPPO EZ
Hey, I really enjoyed playing your Color Filler game. It was very challenging and had a unique premise. There were so many levels that had me stuck and it was just so much fun. When I got to level 20 I thought the game was over and even then I had so much fun already, but when I realized the game was over double the size I thought, it was awesome. I would've paid money to play this on steam, or other websites, but being able to play it for free was awesome. I did play it on coolmathgames.com. I don't really think that supports you so I'm going to play it again on itch.io. They didn't really give you credit on CoolMathGames so I had to look you up. I really wanted to say how fun this game was and if you still are making games somewhere else I would love to play some more. This is probably going to be one of my top puzzle games of all time, up there with Baba is You and Return of the Obra Dinn. I hope your still making games and I hope you are doing well.
imo baba is you and return of the obra dinn are much better. and i suppose you haven't seen room to grow, squishcraft (although you may not like this one), a monster's expedition, cosmic express, a good snowman is hard to build, the witness, and the talos principle (1 and 2)?

Will you have an apk of this cool looking game?
Thank you for the extra levels!
That was very enjoyable and relaxing. Easy to control and made sense.
Great game! I loved the twist of adding/removing walkable tiles from the box-pushing puzzles! It’s a really nice mechanic, congrats!
Thank you! 😁
very clever puzzle game! theres just a few things i would change. allow for unlimited undos. alllow players to mess around and undo their mistakes . i would also make the square move if you hold down the move keys. lastly i would make the undo button close to wasd, maybe e or q.
I found a bug with the undo button. If you push a block into a hole and then undo, the block stays there. It may actually be a bug with the disappearing platforms, because undoing a move after moving off of one causes weird things to happen. I haven't tested if it's always the case, or only if you move off a disappearing platform and push a block into a hole at the same time.
Edit: It's definitely only when both things happen at the same time. The undo button brings back the platform fine if it's just disappeared, and pulls the box out of the hole if you just pushed it in, except when it tries to do both at once.
Edit 2: This is a very elusive glitch. I only noticed it a couple of times and I don't remember where, but now when I try to replicate it, it won't happen again. Basically the player block would end up in midair where the removed platform was, but it wouldn't come back, and sometimes a block that had landed in a hole wouldn't come out. You can have a hunt if you'd like, but I can't figure out anything more.
Thank you!
That's really helpful.
I will try to fix it today :)
No problem, good luck!
save still not working :((
Oh, I'm sorry.
What browser are you using, and have you enabled cookies?
chrome, yes
thank you!
Hmmmm... I am also using Chrome, but I don't have any problems. I will look into it soon.
I think the problem is really fixed this time.
Is it possible for you to test it again?
YES! Thanks for making it work this time.
Great!
Loved the original but there seems to be a bug in this one as the game lets me put any colour block in any hole.
Yes, sorry, I will try to fix that today.
I'm not sure how it happened.
a lot of fun, thanks! got stuck on level 41 and then browser crashed... starting over now!
thank you! :)
I'm sorry to hear it didn't save.
If click on U and A in the menu, and then refresh the page. It should unlock all levels.
Then you can continue from where you were.
Super polished game here. I really enjoyed it. The music was amazing! You did a great job on tying it all together. I made it to level 14 and got stumped. I would have loved to complete it and have a screenshot for you but I'm not smart enough lol
Thank you to much! :)
Very cool game, but I got to level 27 and then the next day accidentally clicked "new game" and all the progress was instantly lost without warning :(
Yeah, you are not the only one. i will fix it now.
This game is a lot of fun
thank you!
very well done....its a tough one.
can you give a hint for level 34?
Thank you very much!
The grey block doesn't have to go into the grey hole.
I think i need to add a lvl that explains that to the player, as it isn't that obvious.
very goodI love it. It's amazing!!!!
Thank you!! :)
