DatApp: Mix Colours!

Mix Colours!
Free
For Android and iOS

There are many interesting action-adventure games out there in the world, and although I do enjoy them, they’re incredibly time-consuming. However, sometimes you need a little break, so you play some type of puzzle or riddle game — but, this also leads to a vortex of loss time. Mix Colours! offers you a break to relax just a little, but it isn’t addicting enough to keep you playing for hours.

In the game, you mix colours together to get a certain shade to clear the level — simple enough, right? I think the simplicity of the game is rather relaxing and can be a great thing to do when you’re waiting. For example, when you’re on the bus or LRT, you might want something to keep your mind idle, then this game can keep you preoccupied for a short amount of time. The game isn’t particularly fast-paced nor does it require an intense amount of focus. If you’re someone who becomes overwhelmed easily, this game might help you calm down and breathe. I found that it sometimes helps with getting my mind off stressful situations.

Despite the relaxing quality of the game, the main reason for it not being addictive is that it can get quite repetitive and it can get quite boring. Like with many other games, there are tons of advertisements that come up after each level, and from the levels I’ve played, it doesn’t take a long time to reach the specified goal. I think it only took me a couple of seconds to reach the specified shade in the game, so the advertisements play longer than the actual game, which is ridiculous. There are also advertisements running on the bottom of the screen as well. I find the number of advertisements distracting and it ruins gameplay.

Personally, I think I’ll play Mix Colours! for a couple of days, then get bored or forget about it. If you’re looking for something to help you calm down, then this app may be for you!
