Switch Colors

Why We Picked Switch Colors

The pitch for Switch Colors fits on a postcard: tapping pieces into position, again, slightly faster. Deaths are cheap and immediate, which is why the next attempt starts before the last one has sunk in. The kind of game that ends before you have decided to take it seriously. The reason it stayed: the loop is legible in seconds and still worth another attempt. By the numbers: 472 of 500 on the arcade shelf, 5.0 out of 5 from 2 ratings, and 147 plays.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• If nothing responds in the first few seconds, reload the page once — the embed occasionally arrives before its scripts.
• The next run starts from zero, which is why the first thirty seconds matter most.
• Stop after a run that makes you angry; the next attempt is usually worse.

Editor’s Note

Best on a keyboard and better in short bursts; the score is not going anywhere if you leave. Scores on these pages belong to the game rather than the site, so a record does not follow you between visits.
