HUE² is a puzzle game, which brings calmness, peace, and a sense of harmony. "Puzzle game best suited for relaxing, short playthrough sessions." - PocketGamer "How many levels can you complete before HUE² blows your mind?" - Appgefahren "One of the best colorful puzzle games with relaxing gameplay." - Digiato You need to place the colored cubes in a harmonious way in the gradient. The locked cubes are not moveable and they will be your guide. It seems that it is a piece of cake, right? Well, the beginning levels are really easy to pass, but on the other hand, when the number of locked cubes and the number of colorful cubes increase, the game becomes more interesting and challenging.  377 levels will challenge your logic and sense of color.

About

Knotwork Puzzle

Features
Read full description

Knotwork is a calm puzzle built on one simple idea: rotate the tiles until every line joins into a single, unbroken knot with no loose ends. There is no timer, no score chasing and no way to lose. You turn each piece, watch the golden strands find each other, and feel the whole pattern settle into place. When the last end closes, the knot lights up in a soft turquoise glow. The art is inspired by Anatolian and Celtic knotwork and the gold detailing of classical tezhib. Every board is a small woven ornament on deep petrol blue. FEATURES • Hundreds of levels that grow from gentle to genuinely tricky • Fully wordless, so it plays the same in any language • Relaxing pace with optional sound, music and Zen mode • Colored strands that weave over and under at higher levels • One hand play, perfect for a quiet minute anywhere • Plays offline, with no account and no sign up • Optional one time purchase to remove ads Sit back, breathe, and weave the endless knot.
