Wunderbunt – The Color Puzzler

Mix col­ors. Shoot cubes with them. Win new col­ors. Sound easy? Try WUNDERBUNT. An Infi­nite Lev­els-Puz­zler, from easy to mind-bend­ing, set to relax­ing music. Take all the time you need — but make no mis­take. How far can you get?

In Wun­der­bunt, you use the pri­ma­ry col­ors red, yel­low and blue to shoot at cubes of col­or com­bi­na­tions — red, orange, pur­ple, yel­low, green, blue and white — to release oth­er col­ors for your arse­nal. Can you delete all cubes and advance to the next lev­el? It sounds sim­ple, and it is oh! so much fun… but hair-rais­ing­ly dif­fi­cult before you can say WUNDERBUNT.

One game, one low price, no in-game pur­chas­es. What’s not to like?

How to play Wunderbunt

There are cubes of col­or in Wun­der­bunt, which hold oth­er col­ors trapped inside:

In Wun­der­bunt, you mix the base col­ors you gain from the cubes to unlock the oth­er col­ors they hold inside; and by unlock­ing all the cubes in a sequence, you clear the lev­el and advance to the next.

The cube above is green; so you need to have blue and yel­low to mix green, and as a reward you get to unlock pur­ple — a blue and a red base charge.

The charges you can use at the begin­ning of a sequence are stored in your tube below the play­ing field. This is how a typ­i­cal game lev­el looks on screen:

The glassy tube at the bot­tom holds your base charges. As you can see, it can hold up to three blue, yel­low or red charges, and you cur­rent­ly only have one red charge in the tube:

Since you can only unlock the bot­tom row cubes, this means you could only unlock the two red cubes at the bot­tom left.
You pick one of them by select­ing any of the sil­very selec­tor but­tons below each col­umn. Let’s pick the white one, and a “series” begins — the order in which you will unlock the cubes. The more you unlock in one go, the more points you make!

Once you have picked the first cube for your series, imag­ine the col­ors you unlock: You lose your red charge from the tube, but you get back white — which is one red, one yel­low and one blue each. So you know that after unlock­ing the first cube, your tube will con­tain all the col­ors need­ed to unlock a white cube, the most dif­fi­cult to unlock. 

See that there is a white cube right above the red you are unlock­ing above the left? By pick­ing the left­most selec­tor again, we can now build up the series to unlock that one, too:

We could press the big red FIRE but­ton in the mid­dle below now. You will see that both the red and white cubes would explode in sequence: For your red charge you get white back, and with that white com­bi­na­tion you get green (blue and yel­low) back, and with blue and yel­low you could unlock any blue, yel­low or green cube.

Here is a lit­tle film that shows how to solve this entire lev­el in one series:

We hope this helps! Note that there are dead ends if you run out of col­ors, and most impor­tant­ly: The more cubes you unlock in one series, the expo­nen­tial­ly more points you make!

Enjoy Wun­der­bunt!
