## What is Chromatic?

What color is it?

Simple question, right?

Your goal: Tap the color of the word being displayed.

The hard part? That word just happens to be a color too. Try not to get confused!

THE GAME
• You get three hearts (extra heats can be obtained via in-app purchases).
• Just tap the color of the word before it gets to the end, and you get a point.
• Miss a word or hit the wrong color, and you lose a heart.
• If you lose all your hearts, it's Game Over!

GAME CENTER
• Try to beat your friends' high scores as you climb the leaderboard!
