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.
