Colourshift - Pipes-like TimeWaster
by Jason Clarke Jun 2nd 2009
If you've ever played the classic game Pipes, then Colourshift will probably feel pretty familiar to you.

Though the game is conceptually very simple, gameplay can get very complex very quickly. For example, there are times where you'll need to mix different colors into the same circuit to create new colors - for example, blue and red combining to make magenta to light a magenta light.
Making matters worse is that on later levels the concept of wrapping through the edges of the screen and dummy pieces (ones that don't need to be used at all) combine to make solving the puzzle even more confusing.
Colourshift is a nice take on a tried-and-true game concept that you can use to give your brain a little workout.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
