Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kalabux?

Kalabux is a steampunk paint-mixing puzzle game. You pipe the three primary colours — red, yellow and blue — out of tanks and through a grid of pipework; where the streams meet, they mix. Fill each customer's order with the exact colour, jar it, and ship it out on the lorry.

How do you play Kalabux?

You lay and rotate pipe parts to route colour from the tanks, pull the big lever to run the mix, then dispatch the finished jars. Between shifts you maintain the works: buy fresh paint, clean up spilled-paint splats, and repair worn parts and leaking seals.

What platforms will Kalabux be on?

Kalabux is coming soon to Android (Google Play) and iOS (the Apple App Store).

How much will Kalabux cost?

Kalabux is free to play, funded by optional rewarded ads — watch one for an emergency paint top-up. There are no accounts, and your progress saves on your device.

What colours can you mix?

Red, yellow and blue combine into orange, green, purple and brown, and proportional mixes make in-between shades. A researched black-and-white system adds darker shades, paler tints and muted tones, plus pure black, white and grey.

Is there a story or a guide?

Old Silas, the works foreman, walks you through a hands-on tutorial and chimes in with tips. If you get genuinely stuck on a layout, his pointing finger can work out a route for you.

Who makes Kalabux?

Kalabux is made by Jolly Good Apps, a UK-based independent software studio.
