Splat the Difference

About

Splat the Difference is a chaotic puzzle game where you hunt for differences between images and obliterate them with globs of paint. Use the 3DS touch screen to tap discrepancies and watch them disappear in splats of color. The single player mode offers hundreds of puzzles with randomized differences that shift each playthrough. Up to four players can compete locally using one copy and Download Play, turning the puzzle hunt into a messy race against friends. The game stands out for its simple yet frantic multiplayer matches and the way puzzles stay fresh thanks to changing details. Released in 2016, it leans into the 3DS’s hardware with intuitive controls and a visual style that’s colorful and slightly anarchic. While it lacks long-term depth, the quick rounds and couch-coop setup make it a solid pick for casual get-togethers.
