Description

Can you make one tiny orb flip a whole board like a paint splat surprise? Clonium in a minute Clonium is a puzzle and strategy game where every move spreads your color across the board. You place glowing orbs into cells and try to control more cells than your opponent. The rules are quick to learn, but the board can change fast when chain reactions start. Your main goal You win by converting the entire board to your color or by eliminating the other player’s orbs. That means each turn matters, even early on. If your opponent still has orbs left, the match is not over, so keep watching which cells are safe and which ones are ready to burst. The move you repeat Pick a cell, add an orb, then watch what changes. You do this again and again, building up pressure in key spots. Each cell can hold only a limited number of orbs, so your plan is to grow your color while also setting up bursts that spread into nearby cells. Controls that stay simple Use your mouse or touch to select a cell, then click to place or add an orb of your color. That’s it. One action per turn keeps the game clear, so you can focus on the board. If you make a careful choice, one placed orb can start a big swing. What a “burst” really does When a cell reaches its limit, it bursts and sends orbs to neighboring cells. Those neighboring cells turn into your color as the orbs land. This is where Clonium gets exciting, because a burst can fill other cells, which can burst again, and the color can spread in a long chain. Early moves that help later Corners and edges are easier to defend and harder to flip, so claim them when you can. Try not to burst cells too early if it gives your opponent an easy flip back. Also, keep an eye on almost-full cells near you, because they can become the start of your next chain reaction. Midgame: trap, wait, and flip A sneaky trick is to wait one turn so a cell is one orb away from bursting. Then, when you add that last orb, the burst can spread farther and turn more neighboring cells. Watch your opponent’s almost-full cells too. If your burst hits them, you can trigger their limit and turn their area into your color. Winning, losing, and how it ramps up Your “score” is really the board control you earn, cell by cell. The match gets tougher as the board fills up, because one smart move can flip a huge area. If the computer feels too strong, try an easier difficulty or AI strength while you learn how chain reactions behave. After you practice, move up and challenge yourself with tougher opponents and tighter choices. Play options and quick fixes You can play against the computer, or another player if that mode is available. If you don’t see a second-player option, it may not be included here. Short rounds make rematches easy, so you can try a new plan right away. The colorful, glowing board design also helps you spot clusters and danger cells faster. Who it’s for Clonium fits puzzle fans who like thinking ahead, and board-game lovers who enjoy outsmarting someone in a few turns. It’s also great for kids who want simple controls but deep choices. If you like clever traps, big chain reactions, and quick rematches, this board will keep your brain busy.
