A relaxing game to play before bed
Lots of games try to keep you up late. They have streaks to protect, timers to beat, and one more level that turns into twenty. Composition is the other kind. The dots on this board move slowly, and you draw a line only when you’re ready. When three quarters of the canvas is painted, the game ends, and you’re left with a painting instead of a score.
Why it helps you wind down
You only do one thing at a time, so your mind can rest on the canvas instead of on your day. There’s no sound unless you turn on the rain, nothing flashes, and there’s no reason to hurry. Ten minutes is plenty. When you stop, nothing is left half done.
Get it on your iPhone or iPad
The app gives you a new board every day, and sixty more to work through at your own pace. Every painting you finish goes into your own gallery, so you can look back at them. If you like, the app can send you one quiet note when the next board is ready, at the time you usually play. If you stop playing, the notes stop too. The app works without the internet, has no ads, and never asks you to make an account.
