Our Expert Score

79/100

Hue is a minimalist puzzle game that focuses on the subtle art of color perception. It’s an 'odd-one-out' style game where you must identify the tile with a slightly different shade from the rest. While the concept is simple, the execution is highly polished, with a clean aesthetic and a difficulty curve that ramps up perfectly as the colors become more similar and the grid grows larger.

The addition of real-time online multiplayer through GameCenter transforms it from a relaxing solo experience into a high-pressure competition. Racing against another player to find the odd shade is surprisingly intense. It’s the kind of game that is perfect for 'brain training' or just a quick mental reset. The small file size and quick loading times make it a great 'filler' game to have on your phone for whenever you have a spare minute.

You need to place the colored cubes in a harmonious way in the gradient. The locked cubes are not moveable and they will be your guide.
It seems that it is a piece of cake, right? Well, the beginning levels are really easy to pass, but on the other hand, when the number of locked cubes and the number of colorful cubes increase, the game becomes more interesting and challenging.
377 levels will challenge your logic and sense of color.

Tips

Focus Techniques

Don't look at individual tiles. Try to relax your eyes and look at the grid as a whole; the 'odd' tile will often seem to 'pop' or vibrate against the rest of the pattern.
