Mobile game developers are always on the lookout for the next Plants vs Zombies or Angry Birds or Flappy Bird, meaning games that have gone massively viral. One of those that is being called just that (the new Flappy Bird we mean) and is one of the most popular games on the Google Play Store right now is something called Color Switch. It is a simple game yet becomes increasingly complicated and difficult as you go up the levels.
Basically, the game is about tapping a ball that switches colors through every obstacle and every level. You need to follow the color pattern in order to solve the various levels. But if you pass through the wrong color, then you have to start all over again, which is probably why it is being compared to Flappy Bird, in terms of frustration levels. There is even a warning to “Please, don’t break your phone” as the developers expect that some people will be tempted to do so out of frustration.
Ever since it came out last month, the game has been in the top games charts and people have been talking about it on Twitter, then playing it on trains, playgrounds, officers, etc (well based on what people on Twitter were saying). The game has more than 100 levels but users keep writing to the developers (one of whom is apparently colorblind) to demand new content for them to obsess over.
You can download Color Switch from the Google Play Store for free. There are no in-app purchases but there are banner ads available.
