HueDrops is a minimal, relaxing browser puzzle game based on the classic "flood fill" strategy. Fill the board with the target color in as few moves as possible — free to play, no download required, no ads.
As seen in the sky: Looking for the addictive Hue Drops game from the in-flight entertainment systems of Air Canada, Delta, United, SAS, Turkish Airlines, or Garuda Indonesia? You found it. Play the web version here for free.
Your blob starts at the top-left corner of the board. Click a color button to expand your blob — it absorbs all neighboring tiles of that color and grows. The goal is to fill the entire board with one connected blob.
The rule that sets HueDrops apart: you must finish on the target color. The target color is shown on the left side of the screen. Do not use it until the board is nearly full. If all tiles of the target color disappear before the board is complete, the round ends immediately. You also lose if you exhaust your move allowance before filling the board — so every click counts.
Strategy: grow your blob using other colors first, keeping the target color tiles alive on the board until the very last move. Then use the target color to close out the board and win.
Some levels include key tiles and lock tiles. Absorbing a key tile unlocks its matching lock tile, turning it from blocked grey into a playable color. Locked tiles cannot be absorbed until their key is claimed first. Shuffle tiles work differently — absorbing one reshuffles all remaining unlocked tiles on the board, giving you a tactical reset when the layout turns against you.
