RYB Reviews

Great game. Easy to understand and play. Extremely satisfying. I had soo much fun playing it. And I want to appreciate how it works in any window size.

beautiful sound design. super fun, even for an idiot like me. however, some mechanics confused me, and i was easily able to bruteforce them. could use a procedurally-generated mode with custom size limits and toggleable mechanics. otherwise short and sweet.

An entertaining color puzzle based on logical exclusion. It reminds me of sudoku in some ways, but it's deeper and more varied. It's a little on the short side, but that's fine because the price is fair.

I feel guilty for only paying 99 cents for this. It's definitely worth more. I'm about 2.5 hours into the puzzles and I'm only 57% done with the first section of three. There's a lot more ground to cover. RYB is an extremely abstract puzzle game. You are presented with an arrangement of black tiles on a white screen. Some of the tiles have colored dots inside them. The dots indicate the colors of adjacent tiles, and successfully picking the color of a tile may or may not reveal more dots on it. It sounds really simple, but there is a brain-burn the deeper into the puzzles you go. You start out simple, with only red and yellow dots, then blue is added a little later. (Hence the name of the game, RYB.) It doesn't stop there, as orange, green, and purple eventually get mixed into play. The puzzling portion really kicks in as you realize that, just like we learned in kindergarten, red plus yellow makes orange. If orange is in a puzzle, then it's entirely possible that a red dot in one tile means there's an orange tile next to it. Soon you're thinking a tile is "yellowish", because it has to be yellow, orange, or green (yellow plus blue), but it can't be purple because that's only red plus blue. You wind up trying to track what types of colors need to be in multiple tiles at once. I've only scratched the surface of RYB, but I'm looking forward to getting deeper into it. If you enjoy puzzles like sudoku, battleships, or any other "pigeonhole" problem, you should really give RYB a try.

This is a fun collection of puzzles. I would compare it to hexcells in terms of gameplay. You can finish it in less than 2 hours but there are a good amount of puzzles; they're just not particularly intricate. Definitely recommended at the current price.

This minimalistic puzzle game is a must-have for every puzzle lover! The puzzles have a gradual learning curve, with new mechanics introduced for each new puzzle area. It took me three hours to solve it 100% and it didn't get boring along the way but kept on intriguing me. Very good value for a price of 5€.

This is a great little logic-based puzzle game. My one complaint is that after the initial intro it doesn't really explain what the various symbols mean in later levels, which means that you're kind of stuck clicking randomly for a little while until it "clicks." That said, the puzzles are quite well designed and I found the whole game to be a very enjoyable experience. Obviously it's not for everyone, and some people will balk at spending even 5 dollars on a game that will probably only last you a few hours at most, but I thought it was well worth it.

Hmmm, I don't know how to feel about this one. Theoretically it should be a deductive-type puzzle, but... maybe I'm just stupid, but occasionally I'd find a puzzle where I just did not understand how to make any further deductions, or that I didn't understand some rule (that was never directly explained), or something or other. And this would just happen at random in the level sets too, like, the last puzzle in the game, was one of the easiest in a while, meanwhile something like the 5 or 6 puzzle in the second-to-last puzzle set, nope, no clue how to work out the answers through deductive logic and I'm not sure what I'm missing. I dunno, in concept it could be a good puzzle game but I just ended up finding it really frustrating, and I usually enjoy puzzles like this - all the Matthew Brown puzzle games for example - but, I dunno, this one didn't work for me. It's only a dollar now so you might as well check it out, I guess, but... ehh.

Minimalistic logic based puzzle game. To me, it's very fun and challenging. A very simple base mechanic is used in interesting ways that make you scratch your head. Judging from the level select screen, I think it'll take me about 3-4 hours to beat it, which is good value for a $5 puzzle game. I would definately recommend it, especially if you enjoyed games like Hexcells.

I found this game as a follow-up recommendation to Hexcells that can likely be seen in many of the other reviews nearby. Having finished both games, I will echo that endorsement. RYB is even better than Hexcells, actually. The rules change more drastically as new elements are introduced; there's more variety. It's a shame more people haven't heard of this.
