The brain is a funny thing — sometimes, you can show it one thing, and it’ll respond with another. Did you know that your brain reads more quickly than it perceives color? This challenge is all about testing your perception and mental agility. FEATURES Three modes are available to test your brain skills: 1) Regular Mode: Tap on the color you see visually and not on the color you can read in text. The countdown speed will decrease slightly as your score increases to up the challenge! 2) Fast Mode: Put your speed and reflex to the test! Your score will be weighted on how fast you can tap on the correct answer. A multiplier effect is applied to your remaining time, which increases your final score. 3) Expert Mode: You must not only see the color but also choose the answer in text form. This makes it even harder for your brain to respond. The countdown clock speed will decrease slightly as your score increases. GAME CENTER You can now compete against friends and all online players.

As you progress through the game you will encounter increasingly more complicated scenarios that challenge you in ways you can't imagine.
