Color Drift is a colorblind-friendly, color-based reaction game, in which the player taps circles that are the same color as the character in a test of reflexes and color perception. The goal is to tap circles of the same color before they fall below and leave your sight. *Top 100 in Games Category in May 2017* **Featured by Mashable on Snapchat Discover** Side Note: This game was inspired by my own lack of color perception! #redgreencolorblind Music and sound effects by Devin Bews Check out his music and performances at dbews.com!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Color Drift at none against Switch Sides's 1. Color Drift also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 41 months) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). Switch Sides's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price there is nothing between them.
