Stunning. Absolutely perfect.
Fri Jun 28 2019 SunnycalihThis game is marvelous. I was looking for a game to doze to sleep by that engaged me, was beautiful, but didn’t stress me out. This is everything I was looking for and more. The visuals are exquisite. The little encouraging messages are so nice as you doze in bed. Seeing your ranking vs the world average is a nice nod to your achievement, without making it an ongoing intense competition. The musical tones are used perfectly, only as a reward after finishing hand as you start a round. Otherwise you just get to play in silence. Calm, mesmerizing, silence. And the tones that do play are so unobtrusive I actually leave the sound on as I play (something I rarely do with phone games). Also, the gameplay is surprisingly rewarding. It’s so cool to see the whole grid finally click together. It definitely gives the brain a fantastic little dump of positive brain-chemicals and works a beauty-appreciating part of your mind in a way rarely tapped in to so intentionally. My one complaint about this game is that they don’t have a buy-once-and-play-all-the-content-without-ads option. Seriously, even if it’s $20. You guys have made an exquisitely calming experience. It makes the awful casino style ads all the more irritating. Lol. I want to pay you to never hear them again in your beautiful game. TAKE MY MONEY. Ok, thx for your art. This wonderful. If you’re reading this, get. this. game.
One of my all time favorite apps.
Tue Feb 09 2021 OriginalPebguin2011I’ve had this game for roughly three or four years now and decided it’s about time I left a review. I don’t know what I can say about this that hasn’t already been said but I can sure agree with all the positive reviews I’ve come across. Visuals, atmosphere, levels, ads, everything is so perfectly managed in this app. It’s all simple but truly wonderful. It’s an incredibly fun game to play but if I’m being honest I don’t usually open the game to have fun. At the end of the day this is my comfort app and it has been for a long time now. In moments where I feel incredibly stressed or anxious, both outdoors and in, opening the app and solving the stunning ombré puzzles always helps calm me down. I’m not one to stick to one gaming app for too long. I’ll usually complete it and/or get bored of it and proceed to replace it with something new. Same with apps that I download to help with anxiety or nerves. I end up switching them up because I never end up satisfied but this has certainly stayed with me for a while and it’ll definitely stay with me for a lot longer. This app just gives me a profound sense of comfort and calm while simultaneously providing an enjoyably fun time. I’m incredibly grateful for finding this and whether you want something zen or a fun game to enjoy I genuinely recommend everyone have this game downloaded.
This color addict approves!
Tue Mar 22 2022 DinaaaaaaaaaaaaaahI have the free version, and it is great, but if I wasn’t so completely broke, I would definitely buy the full version - just to support the creators of this awesome game…the game is based on a simple idea, with a infinite amount of possible puzzles…the score is based on the number of moves, and not timed, which I think is great. I would love it if, in addition to the world average number a moves given for each level, they also gave the number expressing the fewest possible moves needed to solve the puzzle. I think that would be just the number of squares on the board that are not fixed in place, so I guess I could just count, but it seems like it would fit perfectly alongside the “world average”. - Also, I love the little messages that congratulate you when you complete a level, but so far I have only seen two messages, and I WOULD SERIOUSLY play the levels just to see a new colorful celebratory catchphrase…I think that the creators should ask for players to submit their ideas, and I volunteer to help in any way I can - I am an artist, and a desperate, hopeless color addict- you can find on my work on giphy, picsart, redbubble, and others as dinaaaaaah - d-i-n-6 ‘a’s-h - and I found the game original, relaxing, beautifully designed, challenging, and ultimately satisfying ❤️
A wonderful experience in color!
Wed Nov 27 2019 IslandbergI haven’t spent a dime on this game. I have read reviews where people say it costs money, yet I have accumulated enough hearts and prisms to unlock everything without the need to spend cash. I have been telling everyone about this gem! As a former art student and artist, I feel this game is really a study in color. It’s a zen-like experience that both calms and excites at the same time. I love that it doesn’t gouge my wallet and I can just sit back and enjoy the game. I absolutely love seeing how the shades of color play against each other. Once a square is placed in its proper position ones brain can immediately tell. What once looked off in shade suddenly registers in the brain and the puzzle starts to take shape. I am addicted to this game and enjoy seeing how my score ranks against other players. My best score was 77 moves over a 223 move world average. I was impressed with myself, that’s for sure! I think anyone who wishes to better understand color and how shades can interact with others should play this game. You will see how amazing it is. I am into the quests now and have gone past “explorer”, they just keep getting better. It’s calming and really aids in stress relief.
Absolutely Incredible
Thu Aug 27 2020 Potterfan16103I have never written an app review before, but I Love Hue deserves as much praise as it can get. This is simple yet challenging, incredibly satisfying (dare I say addicting), and visually stunning. As someone with OCD, I have found this game to be an amazing substitute for certain rituals as well as a great coping mechanism. It’s soothing and relaxing. Each stage comes with calm, zen-like messages that are just pleasant to read. I’ve played through every single level multiple times until I beat the world average in each one, partly due to perfectionism but also so I could get compliments such as “iridescent moonbeam” and “glorious butterfly.” There are no “pay to play” features, no subscriptions, and while there ARE ads, they are extremely tolerable. Ads come up very rarely, and always between levels so there’s no risk of interruption. Plus, in my experience they have always been skippable. Overall, this has been my favorite game for almost three years now and is by far the best color-sorting game I’ve come across.
This morning, I downloaded I Love Hue Too and I am already hooked! Amazing and even more extensive than its predecessor. I highly recommend both of these apps.
I LOVE this game
Wed Jan 17 2024 DrowzieeeWhen I tell you I’m in love with this game I mean it. It’s all I can think about and all I do when I’m on my phone. The way the colors shine in my eyes and the way the blocks move around so gracefully across my screen makes my heart flutter 💞 the colors are just right, they are beautiful, I spend hours on end playing this game over and over. When I’m having a hard day and see the icon of this app on my home screen my face just lights up and I instantly feel better about myself knowing I’m going home to play my favorite game. I have the icon set as all of my profile pictures on all of my social medias and even my company email. Saying I’m obsessed with this game is an understatement, this game is my life. And I will do anything to keep being able to play it. It’s set as my lockscreen and my Home Screen. My computer background is even set as it. My favorite puzzles are the rainbow ones, just the way the colors clash together makes me smile and feel warm inside 🩷 anyways, I’m just saying that this game is beautiful and very well working, I recommend this to everyone I talk to since it’s basically all I talk about. 😊
Prefer I love hue too, but great game
Mon Dec 26 2022 thekelbellMy study pool is admittedly small, but I was quite disappointed downloading this game after playing I love hue too religiously. It wasn’t even the addition of the “crystals” system (I understand that the devs need to make a living, and the crystal system is overall quite reasonable), it was just the lack of some of the meditative aspects that I had come to love in 2. The actual gameplay itself still runs well. However, there are a couple changes I would love to see in this version. 1. PLEASE add a dark mode setting. I often play the game as I am going to bed, and the bright white of the main menu is irritating. This is the only thing that I have a major complaint with. This game is in desperate need of a dark mode. 2. Optional ambient music during levels. I really liked this feature in ILH2, and would love to have it on ILH. Okay, I’m done. I understand that some of these changes would take lots of programming work, but some (read: DARK MODE) would vastly improve user experience. Thanks to the devs for making a great game!
Beautiful & relaxing
Wed Sep 01 2021 a reviewer that's reviewingAfter I finished all the levels of I Love Hue 2, I immediately downloaded I Love Hue—I needed more Hue in my life! These games are so relaxing and pretty. The perfect way to unwind. Beautifully simple without being overly easy! I love the progression of complexity/difficulty as you work through the levels. The higher levels are little micro-challenges, but are totally stress free because they aren’t unsolvable and there’s no time pressure. The concept behind the games is also quite charming and really adds to the relaxing vibe.
The only 'complaint' I have is that for certain levels you really have to have your brightness all the way up to be able to differentiate the tiles. It’s only an issue when playing at a time when you won’t have access to a charger anytime soon, as the full brightness drains the battery. But the easy fix is that if I’m not at home I play I Love Hue 2 because I’ve found I can play with a dimmer screen. Overall, it’s no big issue.
Highly recommend this game!!!
This is an AMAZING game, you need to download if you’ve got a lot of stress
Wed Dec 22 2021 atblocksI just recently downloaded this app and I thought it would be just another app game, but I was SO WRONG! This app is such a great game!! It’s relaxing and fun while still being engaging and worthwhile. I’m ADDICTED!!! I’m already far into the game and I’ve only had this app for maybe a day. It’s super calming and it gives you little compliments and calls you a sunbeam or an iridescent moonbeam and other sweet little things like that. I thought I’d get bored of this game or not understand how to play but it’s so engaging and entertaining and easy to learn how to do, and once you learn it just sets you free to do harder levels. I like how it gives you the option to move up or to continue on the level you are on. I’m even learning about color theory a bit while playing this game! It’s a great game to show off to your friends and make yo look smart while still being a nice and relaxing game. I love the gentle music playing in the background too!!!
A perfect puzzle game
Sun Apr 29 2018 AlyssOfSpadesI blow through games on my phone like no one's business. Usually, I'll keep one for a few days before I get bored of it. Most games on the app store follow the same game design with the same monetization strategy.
Not Hue.
I love hue is a beautiful game that is designed to be fun and challenging, rather than pull every dime out of your wallet. There are SO many puzzles. I was very pleased with the game when I thought it had only one page of puzzles, but it has three pages, each with several sets that contain at least ten each, usually twenty five though. All of this is free. It's amazing.
There's nothing in this that pushes you to buy the in app purchases, which is a major plus for me. You use prisms to play, but you are given more than enough daily to pay a few rounds, and if you need more without wanting to pay, there's an option to watch ads for a very good amount of prisms in return. It's a refreshing change.
The puzzles themselves are beautiful. I love the gradients used for them. There's no time limit to complete them, and while there is a statistic showing you how many moved it took you to complete a puzzle as compared to the world average, you can turn that off if you desire.
This game really is worth your time. Honestly, if you do get it, I'd consider throwing a few dollars towards the developers (I have, and doing so also turns off ads in the game). They really worked hard on this and deserve the support.
