Prismhop

Prismhop is a colour-matching game that runs in your browser. In a tall, phone-style column, you launch a small ball up through rows of coloured bars and score by passing through a bar of the same colour.

How to play

1. Look at the colour of the platform at the bottom. The ball has the same colour.
2. Drag the slider at the bottom to change the colour of the platform and the ball.
3. Click or tap the play area to launch the ball upward.
4. Pass through a part of a bar with the same colour to score a point and see a burst of sparks.
5. A wrong colour ends the run. Tap again at Tap To Restart to try once more.

What you see on screen

• Top: your score and your best score.
• Middle: rows of red, yellow, blue-green and green bars.
• Bottom: the platform, a slider with a pointing hand, and a sound button.

Tips

• Choose the colour first, then launch. Launching blindly gave scores of 0, 0, 1 and 1 in our four tries.
• Scores were low for a first-time player: every one of our eight tries ended in the first rows.
• Use the sound button if you want to play quietly.
• Read our color matching game tips for the numbers behind these tips.
