— The basics

What is Color Switch?

Color Switch is a one-tap arcade game where you bounce a coloured ball through a series of obstacles, and you can only pass through parts of the obstacle that match your ball's colour. Hit a wrong-colour section and the run ends. Pass through a colour-changer and your ball becomes a new colour for the next obstacle.

The genius of Color Switch is how clearly the rules teach themselves. After thirty seconds you understand exactly what is going on, and after thirty more you start reading obstacles two ahead — which is exactly when the game starts feeling great. There is no tutorial, no menu and no friction. Just one-tap fun.

Beginner tips for Color Switch

Watch your ball colour first, the obstacle second. Wrong colour reads end runs.
Tap rhythmically. The bounce has a fixed beat — feel the beat.
Pre-position before the obstacle arrives. Reacting at the gate is always too late.
Take colour-changers when offered. Wrong colours cost more than missed bonuses.
Stop when frustrated. The game punishes tilt.
