Games you should be playing: Flood-It!

I just downloaded Flood-It! for the iPhone, and you should too. Why? Because it’s a pretty sweet puzzle game, AND it’s free. Flood-It! is a unique strategy game (at least to me, although I suppose everything is based off something these days). Flood-It!’s developers describe the gameplay thusly:

“Flood It! is a simple yet addictive strategy game in which you have to flood the whole game board with one color in less than the allowed steps. You start from the top left corner and progress by selecting one of the colored balls on the left. When you change your current area color, every adjacent square with the same color also changes, that way you can flood other areas on the board. Select from 3 sizes of the board and try to flood-it in the least amount of steps! Highly Addictive and Fun!”

The game is just a little confusing at first, so maybe I better show you how you play.

Ok, you start out at the purple square in the top left.
