Fast Flood gives you a grid of colored boxes that you need to change to being all the same color. Trouble is, you only have sixty seconds and so many moves to do it.
The game is a fairly straightforward one. You have a grid of multicolored blocks in front of you. Below, you have six buttons corresponding to each of the colors on the board. You movements start by affecting everything going on in the top left corner, slowly spreading outward. Whatever color you click, you’ll connect all of the currently-connected colors in the top left corner outward to that color. So, in the example below, if you click purple, you’ll turn the top two red squares purple and connect the three purple squares to them. Then, if you choose another color, those five connected squares will all change to that color.
It may read weird written out like that, but since the game is free, go try it and start clicking around. It’ll make sense fairly quickly. However, once you know how to play it, you’re going to have to get it figured out fairly quickly. You only have sixty seconds to complete the puzzle, which definitely pushes you to make your decisions faster. Now, you could probably deal with the time limit fairly easily by making rapid decisions. However, you also have a limited number of moves you can make. This means you can’t just make snap decisions about which colors you pick, as you’ll easily run out of moves. So, you need to think fast, but precisely. And you can only try a few times before you can’t play it any more for the day.
Fast Flood grabbed my attention after only toying with it for a few minutes. It offers a fast, devilishly-challenging game to play when you want to put your mind to hard work for just a few minutes. Very compelling stuff.
Fast Flood is playable for free on the game’s site.
