GAME » on April 3, 2008
Colpile is a puzzle game for the DS that is based on a Japanese Flash game named "Chotto Aima no Colpile"


Overview

Colpile, like the flash game before it, revolves around matching the levels of each colored panel. Some game modes revolve around doing it in the shortest amount of time, others want you to use as few steps as possible. Wi-Fi is used to compete with other players and also for sharing the „Endless“ game mode with others.

Gameplay

The touchscreen is used to tap the „up“ and „down“ arrows on the screen, lifting or lowering certain sections of the playfield. Also, depending on the game mode, there is a choice of a 3x3 and a 5x5 playfield. Depending on the color of the panel, the panels are supposed to be lifted to the correct height. Yellow panels stay at the regular height, orange ones one section up, dark green ones two sections up and light green panels three sections up.

The three throphies.

Depending on how well you do, the game awards you with three kinds of throphies and an expression by Mr. Colpile himself. He is the one that is walking around on the top screen while you solve puzzles on the bottom. If you make too many steps lowering or lifting the panels, Mr. Colpile will just be sitting indifferently. If you manage to stay in the average steps required, he will encourage you by saying „Very Good!“ and if you will do it in the genius step range, he will be amazed and say „Marvelous!“.
