Chroma Gate

The game

Chroma Gate is a one-touch colour-runner in Bauhaus drag. Your ship auto-flies through a cream-coloured wind tunnel of hard-edged rectangles, and full-height gates sweep in from the right — but each gate only accepts one colour: yours, or none at all. Cycle between red, yellow and blue between gates; hit a gate in the wrong colour and your ship shatters into primary confetti. Gates speed up as you score, and high runs throw double-gates that demand two quick switches. Three lives, one rule: be the colour you fly through.

How to play

• Press Space or Enter (or click START) to launch a run — the ship flies itself.
• Press 1 / 2 / 3 to snap to RED / YELLOW / BLUE.
• Press Up (or W) / Down (or S) to cycle colours one step at a time.
• On touch screens, tap the three colour chips under the track, or tap the upper / lower half of the screen to cycle.
• Pass a gate only when your colour matches it: +1 score, combo builds, the gate bursts.
• Touch a gate in the wrong colour and the ship shatters — you lose one of three lives and respawn in place.
• Gate speed climbs with your score and time; from 8 points on, double-gates appear in pairs.
• Press P or Esc to pause; your best score is kept between runs.
