A Classic Color-Filling Puzzle
Flood-It is a simple yet addictive puzzle game where the player aims to fill the entire board with a single color in as few moves as possible. Its clear mechanics and incremental challenge make it a timeless puzzle experience for 8-bit and retro enthusiasts alike.
Gameplay
The game consists of a grid filled with colored tiles. On each turn, the player selects a color to flood the connected area starting from the top-left corner.
The selected color spreads → adjacent tiles of the same color are absorbed.
Plan moves carefully → using fewer moves leads to a higher score.
If the board is completely filled with one color → you win the game.
Flood-It encourages forward thinking, pattern recognition, and strategic planning, making it a puzzle game that rewards both patience and precision.
Oric-Specific Adaptation
This version of Flood-It is adapted for the Oric platform, preserving the core puzzle mechanics while adjusting visuals and speed to match the limitations of 8-bit hardware.
The game uses a simple, readable grid, limited colors, and responsive controls, ensuring smooth gameplay while keeping the challenge intact.
