Taploom
Minimalist Ripple Puzzle
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tap a tile. Watch the color ripple outward. Drain every tile on the board.
ColorDrain is a minimalist puzzle game built around one simple idea: every tap sends a wave through the grid. Plan your taps, chain the reactions, and clear each board in as few moves as possible.
HOW IT PLAYS
You have a board of empty tiles. Each tap fills the tapped tile and ripples outward through its neighbors. Tiles, walls, mirrors, and other obstacles shape where the color can go. Your goal is to fill the entire board, and your score depends on how cleanly you do it.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Most puzzle games ask you to match. ColorDrain asks you to plan. The same board can be solved in five taps or twenty, and finding the elegant solution feels like solving a tiny machine.

A GROWING TOOLBOX
Each row of levels introduces a new tile that changes how the ripple flows:
• Amplifiers boost a tap into a long beam
• Mirrors bend rays around corners
• Bombs detonate when filled, taking neighbors with them
• Teleporters warp the ripple to their partners on the same heading
• Frozen barriers thaw under bomb blasts
• Canals carry rays across long distances
• Prisms burst light in all four directions
• Locked tiles open only when surrounded
• Infection tiles spread on their own once seeded
• Heart tiles are the final puzzle: protect them, route around them, or finish them last
BUILT FOR THE DEVICE
Every action has a haptic. Every fill has a sound. Tap placement is precise enough to play with one thumb on the bus, and slow enough to think through on the couch.
No accounts. No tracking. No internet required.
