About game
Sorting colors into a perfect gradient is strangely satisfying for anyone who enjoys a bit of order in their day. Shades of Relax taps into that need for visual harmony by turning a chaotic grid of tiles into a smooth spectrum. You simply swap tiles around until every hue flows seamlessly from one corner to the next. Because the edge tiles stay locked in place, you always have a baseline to guide your sorting process. You might encounter simple squares early on, but eventually, the challenge ramps up with hexagons or complex 3D cubes. Trying to finish each puzzle within a set number of moves tests your efficiency and rewards your precision with shiny stars. Those who prefer a calm experience can toggle the reduce-motion setting to keep things steady. Play Shades of Relax for free in your browser right now without needing to download a single file.
How to play
Swap tiles by dragging, or tap two tiles in turn. Build a smooth color gradient across the
whole board. The corner tiles are pinned — use them as your guide. Hint highlights misplaced
tiles, and Peek briefly reveals the target. Stay within par moves to earn three stars.
