Meetr’s approach to finding out if the cost of meetings is worth the benefit is lighthearted, which is why we enjoy it so much.

Doing so, however, can be a puzzling experience since you must track down crystals to change the color of your sphere before you can pass through specific doors. Chromasphere includes 24 challenging levels, ghost replaces, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
