Game Is Hard Level 71 Breakdown
What You See
A 4x4 grid holds sixteen identical dark grey squares, all the same drab shade. Above them, "I don't like their color!" reads like a subjective complaint rather than a command.
The tiles are individually tappable. Tapping one flips it from grey to a bright cyan-blue, which is the only mechanic in the level — a straight repaint job.
Why You're Stuck
I read the prompt as a riddle and started looking for a hidden palette or a color I was supposed to guess. I assumed there was a specific target color or pattern.
There wasn't. Tapping a square just turned it light blue, and tapping all sixteen finished the level. The complaint was literal — the grey was the problem, and tapping was the paintbrush.
The Answer
Tap each of the sixteen grey squares to change its color to light blue. There's no sequence or special color — simply recolor every tile and the level completes.
How to Beat It
Work through it one move at a time.
- Step 1: Tap a square. Touch any grey square. It flips to a bright light blue instantly, confirming the recolor mechanic.
- Step 2: Work the grid. Tap the remaining squares one by one, recoloring each from grey to blue.
- Step 3: Finish all sixteen. Once every tile is light blue, the level resolves. No special order is required.
Troubleshooting
- A square won't change: you may be tapping a tile you already recolored. Each grey square needs exactly one tap to turn blue.
- I'm looking for a specific color: there isn't one to find. The target is just the light blue that tapping produces — nothing to guess.
- The level won't complete: make sure all sixteen squares are recolored. A missed grey tile will keep the level from finishing.
Why It Works
The level dresses a trivial recolor as a subjective puzzle. 'I don't like their color' sounds like it wants you to interpret a preference or pick the 'right' shade, but it's really just telling you the grey tiles are the problem. The trick is entirely in the framing — the actual interaction is a plain tap-to-recolor, and the difficulty is only in trusting that the simple reading is correct.
The Rule to Carry Forward
A subjective complaint like 'I don't like X' usually means 'change X.' Read it as an instruction to alter the named thing, and prefer the simplest change the interface offers — a tap or a recolor.
- A complaint is an instruction in disguise: 'I don't like the color' = recolor it.
- The simplest available action (tap) is often the whole answer.
- Don't hunt for a hidden target color when tapping already produces one.
It's a straight repaint. Tap all sixteen grey squares to light blue — no pattern, no hidden palette, just tap everything.
Overthinking the prompt as a riddle. Tap each grey square to recolor it blue; that's all the level wants.
