This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Bicolor feels like many other draggable-ribbon type puzzle games (folding paper strips or filling or emptying space) -- but more refined. Controls are simple and feel good, with a relaxing rewind-mistakes style of gameplay that makes it as easy to fiddle with different solutions as it is to start over, and the many possibilities make play feel creative. There are so many included puzzles that it is possible to start one over and have it feel fresh--especially given that many puzzles have multiple solutions. Nice color scheme.
It could be improved by adding a solution-replay option that allows the player to enjoy re-watching how they just solved a puzzle -- or to share a solution.

My Favorite Puzzle
This game is as beautiful as the screenshots and video show it to be. Movements feel super natural and it is oh-so-satisfying to finish a level. What I love most is that whenever I'm stuck on a level, I leave it for a short while and when I come back, it's with a fresh mind and I am able to easily solve it. Puzzles never feel impossible or so frustrating that it takes away from the enjoyment of the game. I also like how undos are unlimited, so you can go back to whatever position you might've messed up on and work from there. The color schemes are overall okay, but the gameplay is very entertaining. 1Button, I applaud you.

Dangerously Addictive.
I, being a lover of simple iPhone puzzle games to play while I'm waiting at an appointment, sitting in the car, or other times where I'm out somewhere in need of something to fill a few minutes, decided to buy this game with a bit of change i had left in my virtual wallet. What I didn't know then was this game was going to have such a grip on my attention that I would be at my desktop computer dying in online shooters because I can't stop working on these puzzles. Buyer beware: dangerously addictive, will keep you up at night.

One of the best games I've ever played!
I am an avid game player and especially love puzzle games. I love Scrabble but sometimes don't have the head space for it. This game is equally challenging but I find that I can do it anytime and find it soooo satisfying! The only other game I have enjoyed as much is Quell. I am totally addicted and am wondering what I will do when I reach the end. I have it on both my iPad and iPhone so I already am redoing the same puzzles that I have completed on the iPad because I am on that more frequently. Best money I ever spent on a game!

Fun Addictive Game
I had gotten this as a "Free App of the Week" and had it on my phone for roughly three months before I finally decided to open it and play the game. I just finished stopped playing it to break for dinner and let's just say I am totally addicted to it. It's a puzzle game that really gets your mind involved in trying to think strategically about how to get the blocks together correctly. Love this puzzle!!!
clwebb12,
Another great brain teaser game!
I'm glad that theres still people with new ideas for games like these, after each one, I keep wondering how they still have new ideas, but I guess each new game is just ideas taken from the failures from others and things that people wish to be into a game and are put into fruition for people to enjoy ☝️👍 great game tho😋
Just Do It or Else!!,
Would be good for practicing addition/subtraction but
A "painting" tile actually paints one more than the number indicated. If you have two tiles to paint and then one to erase, they don't add up. For example, to erase with a 9, you have paint with a 3 and a 4. I am puzzled as to why the creators would choose this method. I would use this with my kids to practice math, but to have to add 1 for every painting tile would mess with their equations. The extra work is stressful for a kid already struggling.

Simple yet addicting
Sometimes the simplest of games are the most addicting, and Bicolor is a perfect example of this. It's simple game design – composed of, get this, two colours – is complimented remarkably well by the EarthBound-reminiscent sound effects. Bicolor is a game that is simple enough to play while on the train, but addicting enough to play in the privacy of your own home. Fantastic game!

Beautiful, elegant and simply challenging
There is a reason this app made Apples best of 2014 list. In fact there are multiple reasons. $0.99 for a simple, ad free, hassle free app that's beautiful to look at, simple to play, has a ton of levels (ok, hundreds) and gets your brain working.
Easy to jump in and play a few levels then jump back out to reality.

Great and simple puzzle game
Bicolor is a beautifully designed puzzle game. The game has a very simple mechanic, but it can feel surprising challenging at times. The controls are excellently designed, all of them are simple and feel natural without having to press on too many buttons. I love to play this when I have a quick minute, and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys puzzle games.
