Ten pods light up. Tap the lit ones before they burn out — and never touch the one this chapter has forbidden. That is the whole rule, and it stops being easy around level nine. WHAT MAKES IT HARD Speed is the easy part. The hard part is stopping your thumb on the light you were not asked for. • Level 4 — purple arrives, and touching it costs you the run • Level 6 — two lit at once, and your eye has to split • Level 9 — colours flip mid-life, so muscle memory starts lying to you • Level 15 — rule levels: one colour is safe, every other one is a trap • Level 18 — fever bursts, where pods arrive twice as fast THE FORBIDDEN COLOUR MOVES Purple is the trap for sixty levels — long enough to stop being a rule and start being a reflex. Then the next act takes it away at the door, says so, and names another: red, then blue, then amber, then green. The last chapter of each act forbids two colours at once. Nothing marks them. The colour is the warning, and reading it is the game. If you cannot separate two of the six, one switch in settings puts a cross back on every trap. THE BOARD CHANGES SHAPE Not a grid that speeds up. Rectangle, diamond, triangle, hexagon, star, heart, ring, plus — eighteen formations, and the pod count moves with the shape, so each level is a different thing to read rather than the same one running faster. Every shape is drawn in code. The heart is an equation, not a picture. NINE KINDS OF LEVEL Catch a quota. Survive a clock. Beat one. Last with a single life. Read colour instead of reacting. Scan a full board instead of chasing one light. Play with no fuse ring at all and feel the timing instead of reading it. 300 levels in fifteen chapters and five acts, hand-tuned for the first stretch and generated after that, so the ladder does not run out. 900 stars to collect, and an endless mode that outlasts any of them. Free to play. Energy refills on its own, gold is earned by playing, and the ads you watch are ones you chose to watch. A single purchase removes the full-screen ones for good. Made by one person in Türkiye.
