It's a modern twist on the popular Simon game, the classic fast-action game where you need to remember and repeat the patterns. The Simon Swipe game has the iconic colors, lights, and sounds of the classic Simon game in which you respond to the ever-increasing pattern of the light and sound combinations, but now touch screen technology adds an extra challenge to the game. Swipe the lights to conquer the colors! To master this challenging game, you need to tap, swipe, and reverse your way to victory as you try to repeat the pattern of lights and sounds. When you hear the music and see the lights flash, you've leveled up and a new pattern will start. If you make a mistake, the buzzer will signal the end of the game and the unit will let you know your score. 4 ways to play!
