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!

About

It all started with one pixel, only later chaos ensued. The small red dot began to spread throughout the matrix. Subsequent pixels became infected and unable to perform their tasks. The fate of the entire matrix seemed sealed, when a resistant one appeared on the horizon to the overwhelming red. Perhaps all was not lost yet. The blue pixel has gained allies and set off on a journey diagonally across the screen.
