With two apps under its belt - puzzle game Blendamaze and weather forecasting app Foresee - developer borderleap is still relatively new on the mobile app scene. Even so, it's established a distinct aesthetic that's carried forth in its third release, harmony: a sleek, colorful puzzle game. harmony's main boast is that it contains over a thousand levels; unfortunately, too many of those feel like padding.

Like other borderleap apps, harmony employs a clean, minimalist approach to graphics. Each level consists of nothing more than bands of color that call to mind the paint swatches used by graphic designers. When the game starts, you're confronted with several slightly jumbled color bands and are given a simple, three-step tutorial. The gameplay concept is simple: each colored block contains one or more dots indicating how many moves it can make. Blocks can be swapped (within a certain range) by tapping first one and then the other. In order to solve the puzzle, not only must all the colored blocks be placed correctly, but every one of their collective moves must be used.
