If you are looking for an app to get you through these blah winter months, then try the latest craze in mobile gaming, the colorful sensation, Color Switch. Besides being free it is obviously fan friendly as the app is number one on the free Top Charts in the App Store.

Color Switch is an incredibly simple and addictive game that can be downloaded onto a cell phone or tablet through the App Store or Google Play Store. The object of the game is to get a colored ball that will either be yellow, red, purple or blue to advance through obstacles that match in color. The levels vary in difficulty and shape, from classic circles to squares and windmills.

The tapping of your finger is the only required motion. Despite the simplicity, Color Switch grabs your attention with detailed objectives. The app doesn’t get easier as you play. You can have a streak one round and then reach a score of two the next. It makes you think that your score is a lot higher than it actually is. But don’t worry because it does progress; the guy who sits in front of me in English scores in the 30s.

This game is available to people on outdated platforms as well, but of course, runs better on a device that is updated with the latest software. The app plays smoothly and rarely freezes.

Color Switch is an entertaining game that will have you banging your head against a wall for messing up but going again for another round. At least the bright colored balls will help get you through the winter.
