A target gradient. A set of colour sliders. One number out of 100 that tells you how close you got. Descent is a quiet test of colour perception. You read a gradient, move RGB, HSB or CMYK sliders until yours matches, and see the two side by side with a score. Nothing else on the canvas but colour. CASUAL Untimed matching with no pressure. Pick RGB, HSB or CMYK and take as long as you like. DESCENT Timed levels that tighten as you go. Each level gives you less time and demands a higher score. Your best level is recorded. MESH Drag the points of a 3x3 mesh to rebuild a multi-point mesh gradient. Harder than it looks, and strangely calming. SCORING Every round ends with a score out of 100 and a direct comparison of the target against yours, so you learn where your eye drifts: too warm, too dark, too much cyan. DESIGN Version 4.3 is a ground-up redesign. Pure white and ink, with colour reserved entirely for the gradients themselves. Liquid Glass controls on iOS 26, full light and dark mode, and alternate app icons. FREE AND PRO Free plays in every mode, refreshed each day. Descent Pro is a one-time purchase that removes the limits for good, with an optional tip jar if you want to support development. No subscription, no ads, no account. WHAT'S NEW IN 4.3 A complete redesign in white and ink with Liquid Glass chrome on iOS 26. Mesh mode rebuilt to match the new look. Home cards now preview the exact gradient you are about to play. Redesigned Settings, Tip Jar and App Icons. Made by indie developer Rudrank Riyam. Formerly Gradient Game. Open a gradient and see how close you get. ## Key features - Color gradient matching - RGB, HSB, CMYK sliders - Casual and timed modes - Mesh gradient rebuilding - Scoring and comparison - Light and dark mode ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Love for Coffee | $0.99 | one-time | | Love for Pizza | $4.99 | one-time | | Love for Lasagne | $2.99 | one-time | | Gradient Pro | $4.99 | one-time | ## Is Gradient Game safe?

De-stressing game 5/5 (I don’t usually like games and always have something to complain so this is unusual for me) ### 5/5 — works exactly how expected *2022-08-18* would love to see an hsl, hex and or cmyk variation as well **Developer response:** It is coming in the next version 4.2.0! ### 5/5 — Здорово тоже и интересно!! *2020-12-09* Проверять остроту зрения и чувств!) Нужно 3мя рычагами подобрать к шаблону своё видение проблемы, отдельно для левой и правой части!) ### 5/5 — Petit jeu de couleurs sympa *2020-12-06* Très sympa pour développeurs ou designers pour jouer à trouver des couleurs et gradients ! ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2020-11-02* Very unique and fun game. ### 5/5 — Very nice, with one problem... *2020-10-09* I'm enjoying this game and it's more challenging than I expected. The only problem is the distance from the "evaluate" button to the blue slider. During gameplay, you tend to focus on your incremental gradient adjustments while overlooking finger placement. Multiple times I've accidentally hit the evaluate button before I was finished. Also, I don't see an option to replay any of the levels after receiving a low score. If the evaluate button could be moved elsewhere and the levels could be replayed, it would be a 5 star app. Update: The evaluate button is now working great. Following the update, I was initially puzzled when I opened the game and found everything located in the same position. That was a clever and quick fix :) Thank you! **Developer response:** Hi! Try again option has been added to Version 2.6. Please update to the latest version. Hope you'll like it! Thank you for playing Gradient Game! ### 5/5 — Wow... *2020-10-02* Impressive work 🔥addictive game ### 5/5 — Fun way to learn colors *2020-08-23* I really like how this app takes on a simple but fun way to understand colors from an RGB/HSB view better! From a UX standpoint, I like how there are buttons to go along with the sliders in case I want to be more precise with the values. Echoing some other reviews, it would be cool to get a redo for the values, but other than that, this game is quite enjoyable! **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for playing the game! The latest version has support for retrying! Do check it out! ### 4/5 — Wonderful! 3 suggestions: *2020-07-15* This is the the only gaming/puzzle app I use since I re-found itsyourturn website. Request for improvement: • PLEASE make the ‘evaluate’ button much smaller and the controls to adjust color much bigger. (Accidentally hit the evaluate button and you can’t go back once you do) • Horizontal orientation needed. • Also it would be nice if you could retry an entry to see if you can improve. That’s all, else it’s a wonderful & positive puzzler app! **Developer response:** Hi! Evaluate button problem, horizontal orientation on iPad as well as try again option has been added to Version 2.6. Please update to the latest version. Hope you'll like it, and update the review! Thank you for playing Gradient Game! ### 5/5 — Love this! *2020-06-14* I really like this app! I know it’s very simple, but it is not easy at all. It’s very challenging and productive at the same time. I am determined to get 100% someday although I don’t believe it will be possible. Great job on this! **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for playing the game! I love that you find it productive! 100% is something that I haven't achieved yet too, but let's keep trying! ## Frequently asked questions about Gradient Game ### What are the different game modes in Gradient Game?
