I couldn’t sleep and after a couple hours of trying I looked up relaxing free games for iPhones. Found this and it’s a fun challenge. I enjoy sudoku and this trains you to recognize color patterns and how to tell shades apart. It’s timed, but I don’t feel pressured by it. I’m more focused on getting a perfect score by only guessing once per color. After about ten minutes, I feel like my mind has settled enough and I can relax. I guess it helped that the background is black and the colors are soothing tones rather than bright neon.

This is a free game with free bonus content and multiplayer. You can’t find a better app than that. It requested that I write this review and I didn’t feel that nagging like I do with Reddit. I felt happy to help out the two people who made such a charming app. This thing deserves it.

Try it out. You’ll love it.

I really enjoy the game so much more than ones like Bejeweled but the top and corners are obscured and I can’t see everything. Playing in landscape helps, you can see the top but the corners are still partially obscured. I emailed the developers and they were very nice and quick with a reply saying they don’t like it but I’m guessing they can’t fix it - the last update is seven months ago.
There is a little magnifying glass for in a corner if you get stuck but I can’t tell HOW it’s supposed to work. I think it locks a tile but most of the time it just changes size, nothing else happens. I wish there were a regular tutorial or something so I could read about that and the other things I can’t see all the way.
Fix that and kill the ads and I might give it five stars and buy it, if I could just do a one time purchase for the entire game. Buying levels or solves at a 1.99 a pop is too much for the simplicity of the game, especially with these glitches and the last update being seven months ago.

I’m not big on iPhone games. I normally download them and play them for a few weeks and then get bored; then they sit there for a couple months before I finally delete them. But I’ve had this game for well over a year now (closer to two maybe?) and still play it regularly. On top of the fact that it’s relaxing and entertaining and a great time killer, the music is incredible! Seriously, it may be my favorite part of the game and has no right to be as good as it is. I’ll just sit and play this for hours listening to the music and daydreaming. I recognize that’s not what everyone looks for in an iPhone game but if that’s your kind of thing then this is absolutely the game for you.
