Understanding the four-color cycle in Color Flip

Bottom line: Learn the labeled Color Flip colors and the fixed cycle used by turn-based mode.

Color Flip uses four labeled colors: Green, Blue, Amber, and Rose. The visual board asks you to pick one before a round. The separate turn-based mode retains a fixed cycle for its Cycle color button.

Play Color Flip to try both modes, or see the Color Flip guide.

Read the labels, not color alone

Each color has a letter: G for Green, B for Blue, A for Amber, and R for Rose. The visual board puts those labels on tiles and on the player, and turn-based mode announces both the current color and the next tile. The letters make the game playable without relying on color alone.

The turn-based order

In turn-based mode, Cycle color always follows this order:

1. Green
2. Blue
3. Amber
4. Rose
5. back to Green

Cycle as many times as you need, then choose Step forward. If the current color matches the announced tile, the score increases and the game announces another tile. If it does not, the run ends and Play again receives focus.

This is a deliberate, untimed decision. The game makes no claim about the best number of cycles or an optimal choice.

Visual mode uses a different control

Visual mode does not use Cycle color. Pick Green, Blue, Amber, or Rose directly at the start of a round, then step onto an adjacent matching tile. Its Rotation setting—Never, Every 10, or Every 5—changes the selected color only after successful steps.

For a comparison of the two input styles, read Visual mode versus turn-based Color Flip.
