Can you spot the Mutations? This game is very simple, just find the mutation. On each level youโ€™re presented with two blocks of colours, simply find the mutation in the second block of colours. The more levels you clear the harder it will get to spot the mutation. Get even further into the levels are you get less and less time to spot them too! Of course, you can always take a hint if you really get stuck. There are 10,000 levels to clear giving you hours of game time to enjoy.
