It has been mathematically proven that any series of shapes like this that could possibly be created can be done with 4 colors.

As I study topology, I immensely enjoyed this game which is based on the four color theorem. Good programming, good music, and nice colors!

Very well designed puzzle game. The colouring of adjacent shapes concept adds a unique dimension of difficulty (namely, the cascade effect of colouring a particular shape while having to worry if it will cause additional problems elsewhere).
As has been mentioned, this would be better if there was the ability to add user conyent, as the levels at current are solved in fairly short order (I got gold on every level about 30 mins. after starting).
Still, very well done. 5/5

Game Won, All Gold. Not hard, but not easy. It's a lot of brute force at parts, and trying things in some of the later levels. If it were longer, or allowed for user levels, could easily be awesome. 4/5

... And a hint: just use 1 color to put around the whole puzzle without touching each other. then fill up the remaining spots with other colors without touching each of the same colors. keep doing that until the puzzle's done. NOTE: it might not work is some puzzles. ;)

It could use something more, a twist to make it more challenging and more interesting. I have no idea what that could be, though. Excellently implemented, not interesting enough. 3/5 stars.

SPOILER LIKE CRAZY.
This is demonstrating four color theory. In basic, the easiest way to color the maps is to find a zone that borders a zone with another bordering shape (IE a triangle and a square both border each other, and also border a third square). Color one the first color, one the second color, aaaaaand.... repeat. Every once in a while, you need a fourth, but not often in this game.

Well, since there is a mathmatical proof that four colours are enough to tint any map wtihout any even coloured area sharing a border, anyone should be able to finish the game :-)

Can't fault it with anything less than 5/5. I'm surprised this wasn't a game in the Professor Layton series--it's simple enough to learn, hard to master, though I agree that there should either be more levels, or a level designer. 5/5.

really liked it but the 3 colours levels are too easy as you can just deduce the next step with absolute confidence always if progressing sensibly around the puzzle... needs one more thing going on to prevent this to present a challenge.

best puzzler ive played in a while, very cleverly thought out, though 18 and 20 have me scratching my head for the gold, but congrats mate 5/5

Brilliant game, very relaxing, a bit easy but i think it may be better for it 'cause of the atmosphere. Excellent music too.
