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!
