Color Pin is a browser-based puzzle game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. It leans on shooting, so expect plenty of replay value. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Color Pin
Shoot colored balls into the rotating wheel. Prepare yourself for color combinations, changes in rotation, and other changes in the gameplay that gradually emerge. Timing and perception are key, so be careful as you will need to pay attention to the variety of colors and not hit the other balls.
How to play Color Pin
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
