About

Color Shift Run

Features
Read full description

Color Shift Run is a fast, one-tap neon arcade runner. Tap to cycle your color and slip through each gate — but only when your color matches it. One wrong color and it's over. Simple to learn, brutally tough to master. HOW FAR CAN YOU GO? The longer you survive, the faster it gets. Switch at the very last instant for "NICE!" slow-motion and stack up huge combo multipliers. Every run is a chase for a new high score. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY - Endless — the classic score chase. Pure reflex. - Daily Run — one seeded run a day. Everyone on the planet faces the exact same gates, so you can compare scores with your friends. One attempt per day. - Challenge — 20 handcrafted levels, each with its own rules and objectives. Pass the gates, beat the clock, land the near-misses, chase the combo. Earn up to 3 stars on every stage. - Daily Missions — three fresh missions every day. Progress counts in every mode. POWER-UPS & SPECIAL GATES Grab color-locked orbs for Shield, Score x2, Bullet Time and bonus Coins. Watch for rainbow gates that let any color through, and shifting gates that change on the way down. AWARDS & BRAGGING RIGHTS Earn 17 Awards for your best runs and milestones, each paying out bonus coins. Turn any score into a shareable neon card and dare your friends to beat it. PLAYS FOR EVERYONE New colorblind mode gives every color its own shape, so you can read the gates by shape as well as color. Pick up and play in seconds — no account, fully playable offline. UNLOCK EVERYTHING Spend the coins you earn on a huge collection of animated skins — from electric Voltage and Supernova to the legendary Seraph and Infinity. Deck out your world with living neon backdrops like Neon Grid, Hyperspace, Galactic Core and Eternity. Preview any of them live in the shop before you buy. - One-tap control — pick up and play in seconds - Endless, score-chasing runs - Clutch slow-motion and combo multipliers - Colorblind-friendly shapes mode - 6 music themes and haptic feedback - Daily rewards, Awards and a growing streak - Free & fully playable offline How far can you go before the neon overwhelms you?
