PLAYED FOR YOU

Simon Swipe

Memorize, touch, swipe

Everybody knows Simon and its blinking color sequences! The game with the color sequences which you must repeat correctly and very fast in order to stay in play. Sounds are coupled to colors. In this new version of Simon the principle of the game stays the same but the technology that implements this principle, is different. Using movements familiar from modern devices like smart phones and tablets - touching the screen or tapping it or swiping across the screen - you now reproduce the light and color patterns. In the mode “Levels” at first one level is unlocked, successful mastering of a level unlocks the next one. The unit gives a light signal that you repeat, it is shown again and a new light or light sequence is added, which you know repeat. There are four modes to play the game: “Levels” mode, already mentioned. “Extreme” mode - it works similar to “Levels”, but signals come faster and randomly. “Classic” mode works similar to “Extreme”, but only adds one light at a time. The fourth mode is a multi-player mode by the name of “Party” - this mode works like the “Extreme” mode, but features the hand-on function; a steady sound sequence tells you to hand on the unit to the next player. Very important in all those variants is that you do the movements of touching or swiping or even swiping to and fro very exactly to enable the unit to interpret the movements correctly.

Well, Simon is still Simon, regardless of the technology the game is currently featuring - an attractive challenge for memory and speed of movement and reaction, in which you permanently try to top your own best score.
