Match the color of the two moving paddles to the bouncing ball. If the ball hits a paddle with the wrong color, it's game over. *** HOW TO PLAY *** 1. TAP anywhere to change the color of the paddles. 2. SWIPE anywhere to reset the paddle positions. Paddles automatically move toward each other over time and the ball changes color randomly after hitting a paddle. Score more points the closer the paddles are to each other. Remember, swipe anywhere to reset the paddle positions to reduce your panic. This is Paddle Panic. Fun but panicky! Twitter: @enormace
