Read full descriptionHide full description
Need a quick way to clear your head without ads, tutorials, or long rounds getting in the way? Match the dot to each incoming color, beat your best score, and jump back in right away. Dot Switch: Color Tap Game helps you play a quick color-matching reflex game and make the look your own. PERFECT FOR Short bus rides, a minute between meetings, or that moment when you want a simple tap game instead of a noisy distraction. It fits players who want to beat a personal best in endless mode, open today’s challenge from a widget, or make a custom palette in school colors and send it to a friend to preview and play. It also suits anyone who wants a daily challenge ready from the Lock Screen, a Quick Run button for a fresh round, or bonus levels like Warm-up, Bare-Handed, Duo Drift, and Century when endless mode is not enough. WHAT YOU CAN DO Tap to switch the center dot through the active palette colors and match each incoming obstacle at impact to keep your run alive. As your score rises, the active color count grows, turning a simple color game into a sharper reflex game. Pause from the menu, restart in a tap, and track both your global best and each palette’s personal best. Build your own look in Palette Lab with starter palettes or custom palettes made from 3 to 6 colors. Pick a tile, tune hue, saturation, and brightness, name the palette, then use Save & play to jump straight into the arcade with it active. You can also share a palette with a link so someone else can open it as a preview and play from their own Palette Lab. Choose a loadout before a run, with Slow-Mo available to slow the action for a short burst at the right moment. Pick a dot skin like Classic, Geometric, Pixel, Glow, Liquid, Holo, Foil, or Tide, then add a trail such as Off, Streak, Comet, Ribbon, Sparkle, or Aurora. Keep up with today’s challenge from Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and follow your live score during a run on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. WHY Dot Switch: Color Tap Game The focus stays on instant play: one dot, one tap, one clear goal. There are no random power-up outcomes, no forced video breaks, and no fake play buttons on locked content. It is built for short rounds that feel clean and readable, while still giving you depth through palette making, bonus levels, daily challenge runs, and score chasing. Paid features The free version includes six starter palettes, Slow-Mo, free skins, one free trail, and two custom palette slots. Pro adds unlimited custom palettes, extra skins and trails, Shield, 2× Points, and access to all bonus levels. Permissions note: widgets, quick actions, scoreboards, and haptics are optional and work best when allowed. Pick a palette, tap to switch, and see how long you can keep the streak going.
