Popped a balloon? Outstanding work. You have clearly earned a break. Preferably with another tiny game. Easy is a colorful collection of short mini games, playful puzzles and little tests of skill. Knock on a door, tap some bubbles, clear the traffic or give a weightlifter a hand. The task is often clear at a glance. The satisfaction is delightfully out of proportion. Start small, then meet puzzles that ask for a little more thought, timing or a steady finger. Each new level brings a different little job, so your break never has to feel like the same old chore. Keep playing through the main levels to unlock a collection of bonus games. Work through their stages, earn in-game awards and unlock endless modes for more rounds and new personal bests. • Short, varied puzzles and skill challenges • Bright, polished artwork on a clean white background • A playful mix of tapping, thinking and timing • Bonus games with stages, awards and endless play to unlock A small task. A very respectable victory lap. Just take it easy.

Hideaways is an immaculate take on spot-the-difference games. It unfolds through beautifully crafted worlds, handmade atmospheric music, untimed scavengers, and 144 human stories — gently woven in, where places carry real feeling and stories are discovered, not told. Both a moment of calm and a quiet challenge, Hideaways invites you to slow your breathing, calm your mind, and wander through aesthetic and auditory pleasures — all while gently exercising attention and memory, and inviting reflection on real-life moments and stories.

Verdict
Easy and Hideaways both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Easy's written reviews are positive against 44% of Hideaways's. Easy also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Hideaways's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 274). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Easy against 4.7 for Hideaways. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hideaways has 2.4K ratings behind it against 274, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Easy's written reviews are positive against 44% of Hideaways's.
Easy ships an update fortnightly, Hideaways monthly. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
