Gossamer: Pixel Color Puzzle

A picture made of coloured blocks, and a hedge full of spiders that will take it apart for you — but only straight down.

Under the board is a queue of spiders, one colour each. Tap one and it takes a holding slot, then drops down every thread it can and eats the blocks of its colour that it reaches. A spider on a thread cannot swing sideways, so it reaches a block only when nothing sits above that block in its column. The picture comes off the top, row by row.

That one rule is the whole game. A colour buried under another colour is safe, so a spider whose colour is still covered sits in its slot doing nothing, waiting for the rows above to come away. There are five slots. Fill all five with spiders that have nothing to reach and the run is over — that is the only way to lose here. No timer, no lives, no move limit.

The covered blocks sit under a lid of shadow, so what you can see is what a spider can see. Committing a slot is a bet on the row underneath.

Only three spiders are tappable at a time, which is what makes it a decision. There is always one the board can feed, and usually it is not the one on the left.

Every board is generated on your phone and proved finishable before you see it, so the levels do not run out. Works offline, and there is nothing to buy.
