Balloon Paradise

Balloons drift up in coloured clusters, and tapping a connected group sets off a chain across the screen. Bigger clusters pay far better than small ones. The palette is bright and the pace slow enough to stay relaxing over a long sitting.

Players who pop every group on sight usually finish below players who wait. Two small clusters sitting near each other merge into one large one once the group between them is lifted away, so resisting the first few easy taps pays better than firing at everything the moment it appears.

The pastel shades and the slow upward drift make this a sensible pick when your eyes are tired from work that demands focus. Nothing flashes, nothing lunges at you, and you can stop at any point without the feeling that something has been left unfinished.
