ColorShift is not your standard game. And sadly, if you are color blind you won’t be able to play it (or maybe I’m wrong and you’ll be a whiz at it..)
ColorShift puts a task on you: sorting a set of colored tiles to form a smooth gradient. As simple as this…. with a timer. Of course, as the difficulty rises the number of tiles grows, and the subtleness of the colors is also bigger.
The game is well executed, fun and has a strange addictiviness to it. I cleared around 90 levels before going to bed one day, just on the basis of “just one more!”. I dreamt of coloured gradients that day.
Is it groundbreaking? No. It’s original, fun and cool-looking. For me, for this price, this is enough. The app is universal, working perfectly on all your iDevices.
In short: ColorShift is an original game concept, very well executed.
Quick Take
Value:Low
Would I Buy Again:Yes
Learning Curve:Low
Who Is It For:Casual gamers
What I Like:It's fun and addicting
What I Don't Like:Repetitive, with little replay value
Final Statement:An original game
colors ColorShift has a simple style of game plan. Our brains love pattern and sequence, ColorShift is a game that does just that. The objective is to let your brain put a set of color tiles in order. Simply order the color tiles in the right sequence. The catch is that the color values become increasingly similar while the number of tiles increase.
As you play ColorShift you will begin to see color differently. Common color illusions will begin to make sense to you. Simple game play will shift from 'where does this tile go' to 'what tile goes next'.
