Pixel Beads: Gem Art Coloring

Put every color back in its place, and a picture appears.

Pixel Beads is a relaxing color sorting puzzle where you tidy up misplaced beads until a piece of pixel art comes together. Nothing is chasing you. Nothing can go wrong. Just the quiet satisfaction of colors clicking into place.

■ How to play

Tap a group of same-colored beads to pick them up, then sort them into place.

No room for them right now? Park them in the tray for a moment.

Knowing when to use that tray is the whole game.

Clear one patch at a time, and the tangle of colors slowly becomes a picture.

■ No timers. No fails.

No countdown. No lives. No game over screen.

Every stage is built to be solvable, so you can never get stuck.

Play a round before bed, on the bus, or for as long as you feel like it.

■ Collect the pixel art

Every stage you clear fills in one more tile of the big picture on your home screen.

Finish it and the artwork is added to your gallery.

An apple, a duck, a bunny, a penguin... wondering what comes next is what keeps you playing one more round. New pictures are added over time.

■ A little help when you need it

Three tools are waiting for the moments you get tired of sorting by hand.

- Solve a whole patch at once
