It’s relaxing and beautiful and addictive. My only dream would be for the background be black instead of white. I find that often I have to shield the glare with my hand to see the colors more clearly sometimes with the more challenging puzzles. If that could be made as an option in the settings would be great! ### 5/5 — Lovely game *2023-02-08, version 1.8.1* So fun and calming. Very nice comfy game. ### 5/5 — Finally! A game that isn’t screaming at me ♥️ *2023-01-23, version 1.8.1* Sometimes you just want to zone out for a while and not have to keep track of how many stars, how many lives, how many anythings. That’s this game! Thank you for creating something calm and wonderful with no timers, no music annoying music, and no weird ads for games I’ll never play. Love this! ✌️♥️🎨 ### 5/5 — Fun and Relaxing *2023-01-23, version 1.8.1* I’m always looking for fun casual games, and this is incredibly relaxing to play while I have some free time! ### 5/5 — Great game so far *2023-01-01, version 1.8.1* This is a great game so far! I really enjoy the gradients and the fun of completing each puzzle. ### 5/5 — More please *2022-12-27, version 1.8.1* Enjoyed the game so far, ran out of puzzles. ### 5/5 — Only deleted this cuz I’m colorblind *2022-12-24, version 1.8.1* Once I got to the second puzzle I remembered that I’m color blind so I deleted it ### 5/5 — Very relaxing. Very fun *2022-12-13, version 1.8.1* Nicely done game. 🙂 ### 5/5 — Great game! Add more puzzles to the normal mode please! *2022-12-03, version 1.8.1* I love playing this game. I’m a designer and love testing my eye for color. It’s a pretty relaxing game, challenging at times, and no obnoxious ads! I just finished level 50 so I’ve completed the main mode after playing casually on the train or when I’m relaxing at home once in a while. There’s a number of puzzles within each level so it takes a while to get through if you’re playing casually. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2022-10-13, version 1.8.1* Love the puzzles and change of shapes! Can’t wait for more levels! ### 5/5 — Adore it *2022-10-13, version 1.8.1* Very lovely game to pass time or practice focusing on! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t remove ads *2025-08-28, version 1.8.1* Love the game, but the ads are broken. I get an error message when I try to purchase the game to remove the ads. There are ads after every single level and you can’t close them out. I have to restart the game after every level to get around this bug. It’s incredibly annoying, especially when I’m trying (and failing) to give them my money. ### 1/5 — Ads after every piece of the puzzle *2022-12-07, version 1.8.1* So I blew through the first 6 puzzles just living my best life with this amazing game. Then I reached puzzle 7, and there are ads after EACH piece! So to complete one puzzle, I had to watch four ads. Unacceptable. I get that ads are needed but at least have them after each full puzzle not each piece. Had to delete cuz ain’t nobody got time for that. ### 1/5 — Beautiful *2022-07-10, version 1.8.1* Really well designed app, elegant colours. The forced ads ruin the playing experience ### 2/5 — 広告を削除できません *2024-01-02, version 1.8.1* 課金して広告を消したいのですが、 おっと不具合が生じました、しばらくしてからやり直してくださいと表示が出てしまいます。 ### 2/5 — Aggressive Political Ads *2022-08-17, version 1.8.1* This game is fun but I’m becoming more and more annoyed with the republican political campaign ads after every level. ### 3/5 — Kept Interrupting Music and Low Reaction Rates *2023-01-27, version 1.8.1* I’ve played way too many gradient sort games, so I’d like to think I know what I’m doing when it comes to a good gradient sort game. I had two main issues with this one, which was that it would roll an ad (that you could skip in >5 seconds) that would ALWAYS stop my music, without fail. I am a person that likes to have music in the background, and this aspect just made me really grumpy. Also the calibre of the ads was concerning, with rather risky ads rolling about with an app aimed at kids 4+. The other main issue I had was the slow reactions to my movements of the colour tiles. I would go to swipe around the tiles, and it would only register 75% of them because I was going faster than a snail’s pace. The accuracy of the touch input was also a little off, it would read a tap as a swipe and vice versa. ### 4/5 — DARK MODE PLEASE! *2026-04-12, version 1.9.8* I love this game more than a lot of other similar games! My only complaint is there’s no dark mode and the background is bright white! I like to play relaxing games in bed and hate being blinded every time ### 4/5 — So close to perfect! *2026-03-31, version 1.9.8* Such a good game! The levels are relaxing and just the right amount of challenging. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the amount of ads they show once you hit level 7. However, it's only $1.99 to remove the ads which is pretty reasonable. Overall I do think it's worth it😊 ### 4/5 — Just what it says! All about color and hue *2026-02-14, version 1.9.8* I was sceptical, but this game is just what it says it is. Few ads, clean, simple game play and all about color. It’s soothing, challenging and fun. ### 4/5 — Amazing!!!! *2022-10-14, version 1.8.1* I love this game so much!!! I understand the ads and they aren’t to annoying. I do wish it had a dark mode for when I’m playing at night ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect puzzle for me *2026-07-17, version 1.9.8* This is a very absorbing, calming, almost meditative, kind of game. It gets more challenging as you go. I’ve been completely sucked in by this and haven’t been aware of all the little noises around that bother me. It makes the perfectionist/organizer in me very happy. ### 5/5 — Love *2025-12-24, version 1.8.1* Very fun ### 5/5 — Fun and relaxing *2025-08-30, version 1.8.1* If you like gradients 😁 ### 5/5 — Gran juego ! *2025-07-29, version 1.8.1* Muy didáctico para aprender de color y lo suficiente entretenido para pasar un muy buen rato ! ### 5/5 — Best on bigger screens *2025-06-09, version 1.8.1* Love this game for the low stress level (no timer or limited number of moves) and how it compares your number of moves with other players’ averages. Not great on small phone screens bc your fingertip blocks the square you’re moving so you can’t see the color to compare until you let go. This isn’t a problem on larger screens like tablets. Great game! ### 5/5 — HOLY COW !!! *2025-05-14, version 1.8.1* This game is awesome for sure … Download it ,,, U won’t be disappointed … ### 5/5 — 舒壓無廣告的良心遊戲 *2025-04-10, version 1.8.1* 七年前玩過的遊戲，現在還在覺得很欣慰，希望有朝一日還能再看到更新 ### 5/5 — Love this artistic app! *2024-07-11, version 1.8.1* I’ve just started playing this game and I’m already addicted! Very satisfying and helps to fine tune your creative eye 😊 Thank you for this app!!! ### 5/5 — So soothing *2024-01-17* I lore this game, it's just very relaxing. This is my second play through after downloading it on my new iPad. I hope they make more. ### 5/5 — i like it but wish u can create new game level *2023-10-26, version 1.8.1* i really like this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
