Color Pixel Crush | Puzzle Template + Level Editors

Color Pixel Crush is a complete Unity game template for building and customizing tap-to-shoot color-matching puzzle games. Developed with the HyperCasual Game Engine, this asset provides the core systems, architecture, and tools needed to ship a unique, mobile-ready pixel-art puzzle experience.

Players tap color-coded cannons to send them down a conveyor, where they fire matching colored bullets that fill a target picture cell by cell. With pathfinding-based clickability, wall obstacles, mystery cannons, and a satisfying picture-reveal payoff, this template delivers a polished hyper-casual loop inspired by popular color-match mobile puzzles.

The template ships with 500 ready-made levels, three boosters, a fully featured visual level editor, and an image-to-level pipeline that turns any sprite or texture into a playable level via K-means color quantization. Every system is modular, data-driven (JSON), and designed as a foundation for rapid extension and production-ready development.

📦 TEMPLATE INCLUDES

🎯 Tap-to-Shoot Color Gameplay

• Tap-to-Fire Cannon Mechanic: Tap a colored cannon to dock it on the conveyor and fire its ammo at matching pixels in the picture.
• Pathfinding Clickability (FLS): Only cannons with a clear exit path are tappable — clickable cannons are outlined, blocked ones are desaturated.
• Pixel-Art Picture Fill: Bullets fill the target picture cell-by-cell with pop effects and a star-burst on completion.
• Wall Obstacles: Merged, curved, two-tone wall meshes block cannon paths and add strategic routing.
• Mystery Cannons: Locked, hidden-color cannons ("?") that reveal once an adjacent cannon clears.
• Per-Color Solvability Invariant: Every level guarantees enough ammo per color to complete the picture.

🏗️ Level Editor & Content Pipeline

• Visual Two-Pane Level Editor: Paint fill cells, cannons, and walls without entering Play mode.
• Image-to-Level Quantizer: Drag in any sprite/texture to auto-build a level via K-means++ quantization and a per-level palette.
• Auto Level Generator: Batch-generate hundreds of levels (Procedural + Image modes) with configurable grid size, color count, and ramping walls/mystery cannons.
• Live Completability Validation: The editor checks per-color ammo vs. demand and offers a one-click "Randomize Shooters" fix.
• JSON Level Format: Human-readable level files that are easy to manage, version, and extend.

🎮 Boosters & Gameplay Systems

• Three Built-in Boosters: Block Shuffle (re-permutes the picture blocks' colors), Magic Select (pick and pull any blocked cannon), and Cannon Shuffle (reseats all cannons with a fly-in animation).
• First-Use Tutorial Popups: Automated prompts that explain each booster to new players.
• Unlock System: Level-gated booster availability (e.g., Magic Select at Level 2, Cannon Shuffle at Level 3).
• Smooth Visual Feedback: Color-fade clickability transitions and animated position switches.

🎨 Customization & Visual Tools

• 10 Built-in Colors: Easily expandable via enum + ColorData mapping, plus per-level RGB palettes for image levels.
• Universal Render Pipeline (URP): Fully URP-based, with a shared post-processing volume.
• Custom Outline Shader: Position-based inverted-hull outline (WebGL / IL2CPP safe) for clickable highlighting.
• Modular UI System: HUD panels, Win/Lose screens, and booster-use badges.

🧪 Developer & Debug Tools

• In-Game Dev Settings Panel: Quick-access menu for level navigation, win/lose triggers, and unlock-all/refill boosters.
• Global Hotkeys: Instant level skipping and booster unlocking during testing.
• Clean Codebase: Singleton SoundManager and static LevelManager for reliable scene orchestration.
