Description
Colour Slide is a puzzle in which you have to separate the two sets of coloured counters, so that no two counters overlap. The red counters slide row by row, and the yellow ones slide column by column. Where two counters overlap, you see an orange counter, and when the puzzle is solved there will be no overlaps.
Just drag any counter to move it and the counters of the same colour in its row and column.
Seems like it ought to be easy, but it's harder than it looks!
The usual options to undo and solve are available. You might want to start by tapping the white flag (solve button) to see how it works. The options screen allows you to change the puzzle difficulty, and you can also change the colours if the defaults are hard to see.
How to Play
Just drag a red or yellow counter and its row (red) or column (orange) will all move. Dragging on an orange (overlap) counter will move whichever colour was dragged last. You can also click large button with arrows to change the colour.
Triangle for a new game, ? for a hint, white flag to solve (try this first to see what's going on). The bottom button gets you the Settings screen, where you can adjust difficulty as well as colour and sound options.

The graphics look simple, but the game is an interesting puzzler. If it looks too easy, try changing the settings for more challenge.
My original concept had lots of layers. In fact the code still allows for that. Then I realised (a) unless you go beyond a 2D square grid, more than two are redundant, and (b) it's actually quite hard enough with just two!
