But I have no idea what I’m doing. I just click the shapes until I solved the puzzle, and then onto the next. Maybe I’m just lacking the necessary enlightenment... **Developer response:** The white line sep­a­rates the screen into 2 sides. Ei­ther top and bot­tom or left and right . Try to make the col­or bal­ance on each side. For ex­am­ple, 1 blue col­or place on the left side, than an­oth­er side must have the same blue col­or (place on the right side). Hope this help 🙏 ### 2/5 — Pretty enough, but not very challenging *2016-10-09* As a game based on colours, the game is pretty nice to look at with its minimalistic design. The music is also pretty zen, but that's about all I can say for the game. The game works on a one-tap control, but the switching of the parts on some levels aren't very clear, and as such makes the game skewed more towards random chance and persistence rather than any skill or thought. This game feels like it belongs with games in the vein of the 'Harmony' series, but sadly falls short (by a large margin) in comparison. ### 4/5 — nice game *2014-11-02, version 1.0.3* chill and relaxing, fun game. ### 3/5 — Just not into it *2014-07-25* I generally really like puzzle games and don't mind a little zen, but with this game, more often than not I end up stumbling on the right answer without knowing why. Giving it 3 stars b/c it's pretty and stable and maybe it's just me. But I've played 25 levels and am deleting it from my iPad. ### 2/5 — Boring. *2014-07-23, version 1.0.3* The game is easy enough to beat the levels, but it has no instructions and seems pointless. I played it a few times, then just deleted it bc I was bored by it. ### 4/5 — Fun way to pass the time *2014-07-19* I just finished the game and really enjoyed it. All the levels were solvable on my ipad. One minor issue is that as soon as you solve a level the puzzle disappears. It would be nice if you could see it with the colors all in the right place for a few more seconds. Otherwise it can make you feel like you just stumbled upon the right combination rather than solved it. Overall it's relaxing and fun. ### 3/5 — Relaxing! *2014-07-16* Need something to chill you out? Maybe some weird new puzzle? This is it. Three stars because it's ridiculously easy (unless you're color blind). I have no idea how other reviewers failed to figure out the controls. ### 4/5 — Huh? *2014-07-15, version 1.0.3* This is a great game however, the levels are too easy and some times I don't know how to beat the levels or how I beat the levels before that level.Also, when the shapes glow, it's hard to tell the difference between yellow and orange or red and orange. ### 5/5 — Relaxing... *2014-07-15, version 1.0.3* Very peaceful, relaxing game. :) ### 5/5 — Different *2014-07-14* This game is different. No time limit. Rules you gradually figure out on your own. The first levels are fairly obvious, later levels will eventually require you to think through your choices and steps to solve the puzzle. Not the best game for those craving a high score, action, or unqualified success. ### 2/5 — Great Game - A Few Issues *2014-07-14* I enjoy this game, it's addictive and quite fun. #1 There is a glitch or something, I am stuck on Level 95, I have the colors sorted correctly but it won't let me pass, the only thing I can tell is the top background color (lavender blueish) doesn't necessarily have a match, yes there is another (blueish) color but they are not the same, and using it in it's place, does not solve the puzzle, please fix LEVEL 95 on CHAPTER 4 #2 One thing that really bothers me is the objects glowing (I'm using an iphone) and the glowing makes the colors blend that I can't really tell them apart (orange from the yellow, baby blue from the lavender blue, and pink from the red, black from the brown) make it an option or at least remove it. #3 The colors you are using are just too close together to tell them apart, your using solid colors and colors that have a fade lightener in them, and like above they are too close together to tell them apart. ### 3/5 — Has Potential *2014-07-14, version 1.0.3* Taijitu toys with an interesting concept and handles well for the most part, but at times it can feel rough and unfinished. The game features an abundance of levels, so you won't be running out very soon. However, some levels feel repetitive, which should be expected in such a simple game. Taijitu is not worth the money in its current state. ### 5/5 — Peaceful *2014-07-13, version 1.0.3* I find this app completely bypasses my logical brain and puts me in a relaxed creative state. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great game *2014-07-11, version 1.0.3* Nice polish, easy to pick up on ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost *2025-03-22, version 1.23* Totally lost. Give instructions. Was this made for iPad. How to keep music on while you read a book for example ### 1/5 — They don’t want us to understand their game *2020-02-14, version 1.22* Come on! Freeze the screen when a level is ended. And let us click to go to the next one. As it is, there is no way to understand the game. Very angry. ### 1/5 — No idea what was going on *2014-07-15, version 1.0.3* This game made no sense to me, parts of the screen flash, I tapped them randomly and they changed colour but continued to pulse colour in and out. Suddenly I would tap one more bit and it would tell me 'awesome' and take me to the next puzzle with no way to view what the correct answer was so I could try and learn. Not intuitive, not puzzling, just random. ### 1/5 — Sound??? *2014-04-15, version 1.0.3* It's 2014. No excuse for a fame that doesn't play nice with other apps. Stopping my audio (be it music, podcasts or books) is going to stop me even testing your game. Really object to paying for a game that is probably heading for delete within days. I know it's only 2.50 but this is a pretty basic feature!!! ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2014-04-13, version 1.0.3* Overall, disappointment! No challenge, no artistic balance, no chance to review and appreciate. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Don't stop my music. *2014-04-11, version 1.0.2* Please don't stop my music while I'm playing this game. ### 1/5 — More relaxation tool than a game. *2014-03-22, version 1.0* Appreciated color and ambient sound, but not as captivating as hoped, or told. Like problem solving, but too quickly lost interest between puzzles feeling too simple or too confusing as to how the combinations are evaluated. Simply tapping screen, getting approval, and moving to next puzzle wasn't fulfilling. ### 2/5 — Hard to see the colors! *2024-07-18* In my iPhone 12 mini with iOS v17.5.1's dark theme and zoomed display. :( ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2016-10-12* Repeatedly I am able to separate the colors into a balance on each side but the game doesn't recognize it. There are multiple ways to get a balanced solution but the game seems to only recognize one particular solution. It's very frustrating to know you have it correct only to have the game be expecting a different solution. ### 2/5 — It's pretty *2016-10-09, version 1.21* And the music is nice. It's just not much fun to play. Half the time I solved levels without knowing how or why. Very low pressure if you like that. Very Zen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-08-09, version 1.23* This game is cool! Hard to stop playing. Very satisfying ### 5/5 — Love! *2016-11-05* What a fun brain teaser! Colorful and clever. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-10-21* It's a cute, easy little game about making all the colors balance. :) ### 5/5 — Fricken awesome *2016-01-26* I remember when I first got this came I was a little bit skeptical at first but as the day progressed I remembered my life dream to become the world's greatest toe eater I put that aside to play this game it is that good please play this game thank you! ### 5/5 — soothing *2014-12-26* Such lovely colors, soundscape and effects, beautifully animated transitions, no time limit to harsh the mellow. (The rules are so simple I can't believe people complain about a limited tutorial: 2 dialogues, ever, tell you all there is to know!) Well worth the money, has lots and lots of puzzles without being frustrating. ### 5/5 — Problem with great game *2014-10-02* I love this game and would really like more puzzles, as I am nearly finished--but I can't complete the game. I have spent hours on puzzle 96. As nearly as I can tell, I have solved it, but it won't let me pass. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm starting to feel a bit desperate. ### 5/5 — Pre-bed game *2014-08-21* Not many games serve well as pre-sleeping games but this is my favorite. It's relaxing and simple. Love it ! *update* I have since beat all the levels. Update with more levels please!!! :) ### 5/5 — Very Calming *2014-08-02* Very interesting. Just finished the game and I absolutely can't wait for the next 100 levels. ### 5/5 — Mr *2014-07-27, version 1.0.3* The most beautiful,smart and calming game. Each level is a work of art. Re previous review: the first few levels are solved pretty much by accident as you work out what to do and how to do it, but stick with it - it's worth it. Minor complaint - I wish the completed images would remain on screen to enjoy for a few seconds. They disappear almost instantly when completed. ### 5/5 — Very cool and serene *2014-07-15, version 1.0.3* Like guided meditation with geometry and colors. Nice music too. Very well designed! Kudos programmers and all the techs who did this, it's a work of art. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
