About

Split

Split is a lightning-fast, one-tap arcade game about staying alive one gate at a time. A ball is falling. Tap to split it in two, tap again to merge it back — but that's only half the challenge. Every gate demands the right SHAPE and the right COLOR. Line them up and slip through. Get it wrong and it's over instantly. One life. One high score. No second chances — unless you earn a Continue. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • 1-Row mode — a single row of colors. Tap a new color to change it, tap your current color to split or merge. Pure focus. • 2-Row mode — set shape and color in a single tap. Faster, busier, and a completely different mental workout. Both modes keep their own best score, so you can master one or chase them both. WHY YOU'LL KEEP TAPPING • Dead-simple controls, deep reflex challenge • Instant restarts — back in the action in a heartbeat • Climb the Game Center leaderboards • Clean, colorful, neon-bright visuals • Free to play Think you've got the reflexes? Split, merge, match, and see how far you can fall. From Gibson Family Arcade — simple games, endlessly replayable.
