In this captivating game, players must quickly tap on the squares that match the color of the background whenever it blinks.

Tips and tricks
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Because this is a Coloring game, zoom in for the small areas.
