The product

Every move creates or removes the space needed for the next one.

Neon Reactor asks players to move colored cores between canisters until each stack contains only one color. A move is simple to understand, but limited open space means every transfer affects what remains possible several turns later.

The puzzle system grows through ten named sectors with 100 levels shown in each, changing color counts, canister counts, and difficulty. Undo, restart, and an optional extra-tube tool support recovery, while move totals and completion feedback give every solved board a clear finish.

The design challenge

Make deep sorting decisions feel clear on a small screen.

Color-sorting puzzles depend on the player understanding every stack at a glance. As the number of canisters and colors increases, the board must remain readable without making individual cores too small or hiding the controls needed to recover from a mistake.

The larger challenge was turning a repeatable puzzle format into a coherent product. Progression, level identity, completion feedback, optional assistance, monetization, and visual theme all needed to support the central logic instead of distracting from it.

The approach

Keep the logic familiar and make the presentation distinct.

Readable stacks

Bright core colors, contained canisters, and a dark background preserve contrast even on crowded late-game boards.

Planning space

Empty and partially filled tubes become strategic resources, forcing players to plan several transfers ahead.

Safe recovery

Undo and restart controls let players test a sequence without turning every wrong decision into lost progress.

Structured scale

Sectors, mission briefings, numbered levels, and progress summaries make a large puzzle catalog navigable.
