*** Introduce *** Welcome to the colorful world of CATCH COLORS. This is a free game which brings you to the world of colors and simple shapes, together with fabulous effects. *** How to Play *** It's very simple to play this game. You have a paddle and lots of shapes in different colors. You simply need to use the paddle to catch the shapes that share the same color with your paddle to win points. Each time you catch a shape, the paddle will move to a higher position until it reaches the midpoint of the screen and comes back to its start point. Wait a minute! The game is not that easy! To challenge you, sometimes a halo from above will change your paddle color and you have to catch that new color, in less than a second! (OMG!) Let's challenge your mind to see how fast you are and challenge your friends to find out the best player! Goodluck and have fun!
