Colored puzzle game is a mix of soothing and challenging

Fans of simplicity should like Blendoku, a puzzle game that challenges players to set a group of colored tiles into the right sequence, according to the color wheel. There’s something oddly soothing about clicking the swatches of color in place.

The game is simple to pick up and to play during the first handful of levels. You can play against the clock, earning kudos if you beat the world average time or if you put the tiles in the right order without a mistake.

It has 525 free levels, from “simple” to “master.” This isn’t for those who love fast action. But if you want a calm, surprisingly difficult game, give it a shot. Free, for Android and iOS devices.
