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).

PALINGENESIS is a music video game. The album by GRIGS unfolds as a series of interactive animated worlds, with each environment built around a different song. Created entirely by animator and musician John Paul Grigsby, PALINGENESIS brings together hand-crafted animation, interactive environments, and visual sequences that appear as you move through each world. As you progress through the album, a larger story begins to take shape through the environments and the moments you come across along the way. Listen to PALINGENESIS by GRIGS wherever you stream music. www.johngrigsby.com
