Chromism is a color-matching reflex game you play with one thumb. The top of the screen shows a target color. The bottom shows yours. Tap left or right to step through your palette, land on the match, and hold it for a beat to score. Then the clock resets — a little shorter than before — and it all gets faster.
No lives, no boosters, no waiting. Just you, the colors, and the clock.
HOW TO PLAY
• Look up: the top color is your target.
• Tap left or right to change your color — the screen edges preview what's one step away.
• Hold the match for a beat to score. Repeat, faster.
THREE MODES
• Classic — the original run. Beat the clock, and watch it shrink as your score climbs.
• Zen — no timer at all. Match at your own pace and unwind.
• Rush — starts wider and faster, and only gets meaner.
FOUR DIFFICULTIES
• Easy — the palette never grows. Learn the game with four colors.
• Normal — one new color every 10 points.
• Hard — two new colors every 10 points.
• Extreme — the whole palette comes from one slice of the color wheel, so every color is a near-miss of every other.
The order colors arrive in is shuffled every run, so no two games feel the same. Every mode-and-difficulty combination keeps its own best score.
MADE WITH CARE
• Google Play Games leaderboards, ranked per difficulty — Easy runs never race Extreme runs.
• A guided demo that teaches the whole game in about twenty seconds of real play.
• Color-blind friendly: a distinct glyph on every color, everywhere it appears.
• Retro mode: one switch turns the whole game 8-bit — quantized colors, pixel type, a segmented clock and CRT scanlines.
• Confetti when you beat your best. You earned it.
• Music, sound effects and haptics, each with its own toggle.
• Share any run straight from the results card.
• Works fully offline. Portrait-only, on purpose. Respects reduced motion.
FAIR AND FREE
Chromism is free. A small banner sits on the menu and results screens — never during play — and an occasional interstitial shows between games, capped, and never on top of a new personal best. A single one-time purchase removes every ad forever.
First released in 2015, rebuilt from the ground up. Same one-thumb rule, sharper everything.
