PLAYED FOR YOU

Bop it! Smash

Catch the Light!

The series of reaction games under the name of Bop it! has offered some witty and challenging ways to play in past years. Bop it! Smash is the latest addition to the family, yet again featuring an elegant futuristic design and rather minimalistic demands, as this time you only play with light.

The possibilities for actions are limited, too - you can only smash, that is, press the ends of the unit inwards as if you would like to slide them together. This action is also used to start the unit.

After starting it Bop It! Smash offers three different ways to play, basically always with the goal to catch the wandering light point in the middle of the catch zone, the so called hit zone. In the “Solo” version you smash and score depending on the color of the zone that is lit up, one or five points. When you stop the light outside the hit Zone it counts as a mistake; the third mistake ends the game.

Each blue light, that you manage to catch, returns one life. “Hand on” is intended for more than one player -. You hand to unit to the next player when it bids you to do so. If you are last in play you win.

In the “Party” version you play until the signal “hand on” comes, are out with three mistakes and win if you are the quickest smasher.

As each variant of the game so far, Bop it! Smash too, is an excellent training for reaction speed; and if you believe that it is easy to catch the point of light exactly where you want to - go ahead and try! And again! And again - at long last! Managed! Scored one point! So let me try again …and again .. and if the battery has not run out ….
