Shades: A Simple Puzzle Game App Reviews

I like how you can choose what color group, how many bricks and the speed. But why my high scores keep disappearing for each combination is a mystery and annoying. When I need to busy myself while doing laundry or waiting at the doctors office, a few rounds(or more!) of this will give me a chance to zone out for awhile and keep my impatience at bay.

Totally Awesome and Addicting..Cant put it down!!!

Got this after a Starbucks promotion. Many hours spent with the game. Id get another game from this maker.

Or up the ante for a real test of your reflexes. Simple enough to mindlessly pass time while waiting at the Dr.s office or keep your busy young one still on the bus or subway. Crank up the difficulty level and present yourself with a real challenge. I use the easy setting to relax before bed, though it is not boring, it is repetitive and the colors are soothing. One simple rule: dont put a darker hue on top of a lighter hue.

I like Shades. I really do, and the concept is really great; with so much potential for improvement. However, in my opinion, the hardest part of a game Should Not be its controls. The game is addicting and fun to play, and it is very satisfying to connect the shapes in the correct order. The color schemes (except yellow) are very pleasing to the eye (in my opinion), and I Love the ability to choose between 3, 4, or 5 rows. So five stars for that, and for the custom dialogue boxes. BUT: The most difficult part of playing a game of shades is using the controls. If you want to line up a block, you have to wait until it stops forming from the top bar before you can even place your finger on the screen to control the row it goes to. This would be no big deal, except for the fact that it makes it completely impossible to regain control over the game if you make a mistake when the blocks are coming quickly. Trying to hold your finger on the row you want to use is even worse; if you do this you have to lift your finger and place it down again. Simply put, the controls are the games rage factor. Beware!

I always enjoy this game.

Fun & addictive. Reminds me of Tetris.

Great brain stimulating game. I play it when am bored and I feel that Ive not wasted my time.

Paid for this game. Every time I load it I find myself accidentally opening the App Store for their other stupid game I dont wanna play. Remove the ads. I paid for this to make sure there wasnt ads

The game is great. The nag screen for the new game the developers have out (Im purposely not saying what it is) is a pain in the a**. Guys, I paid to play this game. Showing the nag screen occasionally on game launch...maybe ok. But do you really think youre going to get me to pony up more money so you can show me a nag screen in that game for a future game every time I launch it? Nope. Not gonna happen.

Great game, simple but still challenging, a good mix. Got my wife playing it and shes usually not into games but likes Shades.

This is an exciting game. Starts slowly, but picks up speed the further along you go.

Nice twist on the block stacking theme.

Great! But needs improvement at high speeds

Wakes me up rather than puts me to sleep. Few annoying pop up other game ads.

Read the title to see my opinion.

I have been playing this game on and off for over six months. I keep coming back to it as it is simple yet challenging. A definite keeper!

It can be relaxing. And it is definitely fun to try to beat your best score.
