WaterColor is one of the puzzle games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. WaterColor asks you to think before you act. There is no clock chasing you in most levels — only a board, a set of rules, and the pleasure of the solution clicking into place. A few things the tags reveal: you colour pictures at your own pace; the content and difficulty are tuned for younger players; it teaches or practises a skill — often maths, reading or logic — while you play.

Tips and tricks
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
- Because this is a Coloring game, zoom in for the small areas.
- Because this is a Kids game, younger children do better with a mouse or touch screen than with keyboard combinations.
Who will enjoy it
Who is WaterColor for? In a word, players who prefer thinking to twitching, from casual brain-teaser fans to dedicated solvers. A typical session is a level or two in five minutes, or a long relaxed session. Difficulty-wise it is gentle at the start and genuinely tricky later. It is designed for desktop play with a keyboard and mouse.
