About Color Catch
Color Catch is a Stroop-style reaction game. A colour word appears in a different ink, and you must tap the name of the ink colour, not the colour the word spells. It is a surprisingly tough workout for attention and impulse control.
How to play
- Read the ink colour of the word shown.
- Tap the button with the name of that ink colour.
- Answer before the timer runs out. Mistakes and timeouts cost lives.
Tips and strategy
- Ignore what the word says and look only at the colour.
- Name the ink colour in your head before you tap.
- Stay calm: fast guesses are usually wrong.
Levels, stars and XP
Finish a level to earn one to three stars and XP towards your player level. Replay any unlocked level to improve your stars. From level 151 the game enters endless mode, where each level is a remix of an earlier one with fresh colours and a slightly higher difficulty.
