Death Metal and Meditation?
Someone clearly decided to stagger the difficulty of the levels rather than use a natural difficulty progression which would gradually increase as you advance.
This was intended to evoke certain emotions as you alternate between struggling and succeeding. Similar to a music playlist that varies from rock to ballads, intentionally shifting your moods. On some level they’ve succeeded with that goal.
However, it comes at the cost of destroying the peaceful flow of the game. It literally went from beginner to advanced and back to child difficulty within 15 levels. NOT harmonious.
It’s like having a death metal song stuck in the middle of your meditation playlist. It’s jarring and unpleasant.
If it weren’t for that one major flaw, the game would be quite enjoyable. The minimalistic gameplay and music are superb.
They should combine the best elements from Harmony 1 and Harmony 2.
Harmony 1 has a smoother difficulty progression, but you actually have to pay to use the Undo Move function! Ugly.
Harmony 2 is more polished, has more levels and has the Sleep feature… but the harsh difficulty progression is very frustrating.
Perhaps Harmony 3 combines the best features and loses the worst ones, but I’m not willing to risk paying for another one of these games.
This was written because the game relentlessly insisted that I review it on the App Store. It’s an honest review and I hope someone finds it helpful.

so fun and relaxing!!
definitely helps wind me down and the game is so satisfying
Great follow up to the original
The original har•mo•my game has been my favorite for years. A challenging puzzle but beautiful and relaxing. I was thrilled to find follow up games recently. The second edition is mostly the same but you can choose different sets of puzzles and colors with different moods and music. Before, you never had this option. The game I know and love with even more improvement. Worth $4.

Good game👌🏼
Great
I love harmony and 2 is just as good. So far not as tricky, but haven’t gotten through as many levels
A very calming puzzle
Very calming. Easy to start with, needing more thought as you progress. A great way to pass the time.
Harmony 2
Fun game to spend your extra time on
Relaxes the body, engages the mind
The only downside to this app is that the music between themes is a tad too similar. Aside, I thoroughly enjoy this soothing puzzle for its simple colour schemes and relaxing instrumental tracks. Recommend!
Most relaxing puzzle game I've played
The puzzles are a bit more challenging than the first game, which is great because it really makes me think about possible solutions. The music is great as well, I've listened to Hammock when I need to relax or be productive. I recommend Harmony 2 to anyone who wants a relaxing puzzle game.
Beautiful
Beautiful app
Simple, Challenging, Annoying!!!
I love this game, while it's simple, it's challenging, but can be annoying when you can't pass a level. There are no helpers!
Very relaxing app
I love it just before bed to just kinda wind my mind down, the music helps me sleep too
Pretty!
Nice-looking interface, simple and tricky enough to be addictive.
:(
I would truly give this game 5 stars, if it wasn't for the fact that the app no longer plays the music in the app. It's a huge part of the reason to why I played this game so much, the music plus the game it self helped me fall asleep so much faster. The app has a sleep mode, in which it can gradually starts dimming until it shuts off. before it would do the same with the music, but now, I have to have to music playing through another app, that doesn't shut off automatically and drains my battery. I emailed customer support, but never got a reply back. Other than that, this game is great

A very special title
This is one of those games where it brings back memories and the puzzles are challenging and fun to play, it's a game where everyone wants a sequel and the music is on par for what the games about so good job and keep making awesome game like this can't wait for three or four.
Great game for travel
I got the game free through Starbuck's. Most of their free apps are worth actually buying! I travel for work a LOT. This is a great game to play while waiting for the plane to board. And, sometimes when I'm tired or stressed I just start a game and let the music play. Very calming!
Smooth relaxing app
A relaxing diversion for those long wait times on hold and such.
Fave iPhone game
This is definitely my favorite game on the iPhone. 1) simplicity. It's not jarring or demanding of your attention. 2) relaxing. The colors and music are so pleasant. It's nice to distract oneself with a game that actually lowers your blood pressure! 3) immediate gratification. They move through levels gradually, slowly. the incremental changes in difficulty are subtle so that you never lose that sense of accomplishment. All in all, a very well thought out game, that breaks mold. I love it!
