## What is Take It Easy?

It’s a puzzle, it’s a brain teaser and it’s a game! It’s all three and much more! It is bingo with strategy! Place your pieces one at a time on the board. To score points, try to form continuous rows of the same color from edge to edge. But one wrong tile and the whole row is worthless. It gets harder as the number of empty spaces on your board, and your possible choices, diminish. Because once a tile is placed, it can’t be moved!

- Progressive Mode: Offers 30 stages of different challenges. Conquer all stages before time runs out!

### 5/5 — Sparkling

*2026-06-30, version 3.10*

Very relaxing music and sparkling graphics. This is my new favorite iPhone game. :)

The only issue is that the controls should be more responsive, especially since it can be hard to tell what you’re doing on the smaller iPhones.

### 5/5 — Sparkling

*2026-06-22, version 3.10*

Very relaxing music and sparkling graphics. This is my new favorite iPhone game. :)

### 5/5 — Schönes kniffeliges Spiel für Zwischendurch

*2026-05-23*

Es gibt einige Logikspiele auf dem Markt. Diverse sind in Brettspieloptik, zu spielen gegen die KI oder als Mehrspieler Variante oder Rätsel oder in der ursprünglichen Variante. Es gibt auch Spiele auf dem Markt, die sind nur als Solospiele gedacht. Einige sind richtig gut umgesetzt und spielen sich auch auf dem Handy wirklich gut. Das erhöht natürlich den Spaßfaktor um einiges. Dieses Spiel ist eines davon! 
Ich kenne auch Spiele, die in der Brettspielvariante gut sind, dann aber als Handyspiel wirklich schlecht umgesetzt worden. Hier hätte man sich von diesem Entwickler holen können. 
Der Kauf hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt und ich spiele es echt gern!

### 4/5 — Quick, Fun, Challenging

*2026-02-01, version 3.10*

This game really needs a 4.5. The only thing I would change is to have an optional “PRACTICE MODE.” Something that would put a red outline around the shapes when you make that fatal mistake. Otherwise I am addicted to this game. 

It is quick to learn and challenging to raise your score. It is perfect for when you are waiting for something and need to have enough brain power to hear your name. PLUS you can tell it you’ll be back later or to end the puzzle now.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME.

### 5/5 — Take it Easy es Muy diverticulitis

*2025-08-22, version 3.9*

Hace calculate y enseña Riesgos

### 4/5 — Online Mehrspielermodus

*2024-03-28*

Ein tolles Spiel, jedoch fehlt mir wirklich der online Mehrspielermodus sehr!!! Das würde die App sehr bereichern.

### 3/5 — Is tile selection random?

*2024-03-27, version 3.9*

Enjoy this game, but…

Often the perfect tile arrives right after you’ve placed a less ideal tile in a spot. If you are lucky not to put the tough-choice tile in the most logical place then the second, ideal tile is helpful. However, it regularly happens that you make the logical/sacrificial choice, only to have the ideal tile come up as the very next one. Not sure if this is by design, but it can feel quite frustrating and discouraging when playing Classic mode. It happens too often to be coincidental in my experience.

### 3/5 — 😕

*2024-03-23, version 3.9*

I personally don’t like it 😟

### 5/5 — Innovative

*2024-03-14, version 3.9*

I’ve had this for years and years and I always come back to it.  Great concept and fun options

### 5/5 — Sehr zu empfehlen!

*2023-09-05*

Sehr schönes Spiel, sowohl als Brettspiel als auch ch als App!

**Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für Dein Feedback.
