No spoilers or clues here; you will receive a few prompts (eventually). The challenge is about seeing things accurately and reacting quickly. The more complex the things get, and the faster you can react correctly, the more you score. Tip: at more difficult levels, "alike" doesn't always mean "exactly the same". If you are really stuck, take a look at the Facebook group (linked to somewhere in the App Store listing).
