    I like to solve a few puzzles on a night as I find it relaxing, I also like sing how different colours work together. What will the price point be? I'll be picking it up.

    nice :) version 2 has levels grouped into numerous different "paths" - each having unique palettes of a similar style... you'll enjoy all of them but "twilight" comes to mind which is designed for playing especially at night.

    As far as price point goes, still determining final price, but I can say there will be no IAPs or ads...

    I thought the original harmony was great and couldn't see how it could be improved but after spending some time with this I can see you've really enhanced the idea of the original.
    The new colour schemes feel fresh and give the game a new feel, I played with headphones on as reccomended and the music is beautiful, perfect for relaxing and chilling out. It's great that you've included iTunes and spotify info for the music.
    I like how the levels are divided into themes and with several hundred levels on offer I've got plenty to work through. Being able to use completed puzzles as a wallpaper is pretty cool. For those of you who like minimal puzzles this is well worth a look. The whole package is a enjoyable and relaxing experience.

    Thanks much! Appreciate you checking it out and for the feedback. Yeah lot of time spent on rebuilding this experience overall. The music by Hammock is truly special... as you heard even sound effects have been removed for the sake of making a purist experience, "blending color & music in perfect harmony".

    Thanks - hope you enjoy it!

    Nice! Yeah you'll like the sequel ;)

    I'd love a code, if you're sharing them! Loved the first and this looks just as good, if not better. :D

    This is a great sequel. It's still the same game as the first in its core, but at the same time it feels so fresh. The look & the colors are a lot better, especially because of the different themes. As for the difficulty, it ramps up pretty fast but the game never gets frustrating (the unlimited undos definitely contribute to that). What stood out to me though was the music. So beautiful & relaxing. You need to play it with headphones.

    My only concern is that in the menu where I choose between themes, it's a bit unresponsive. I have to swipe a couple of times before the theme changes. It's a minor thing, though. Other than that, it's really good!

    Thank you for the comments! We have sure strove to put together a beautiful game experience of color and music with this sequel... Hammock's music is amazing. Glad you enjoyed it. Curious - how many levels did you make it through so far?

    Also, interesting about that menu issue... definitely want to look into that - what device are you using?

    Still trying to figure out level 26 of bloom, so I switched to peace (which I love) and got about 10 levels in. I really like how the game makes you think but never pressures you. Amazing job, I'll be playing this one for a very long time!

    Oh and I'm on an iPad Mini (non-retina). What happens is when I swipe the first time, the screen goes halfway to the next theme and then slides back to the current theme I'm on. On the second/third swipe though it goes right through to the next one.

    Nice and thank you :) please let me know when you make it beyond level 39 for any path - it really starts to get interesting then...

    About the swipe - great feedback. The swipe menu is built to allow you to slowly swipe and have the adjacent path reveal it's colors slowly, and when you swipe a certain distance, it snaps to the next path. This because the music changes when it snaps to the adjacent path so it allows you to swipe a bit longer before making that choice. The min distance is about 30% screen - try swiping a bit longer the first try and let me know if that works better for you...

    I woke up with a major migraine today so I can do much testing today. Thank you for the code. I know it's going to be awesome but the first thing that I noticed is that I think the swipe directions for menus should be changed to swipe to the opposite direction. It seems more intuitive that way.
