About the game

Stroop Rush is a speed test for the part of your brain that has to ignore what it reads. A colour word appears painted in a different colour, and you tap the paint, not the word. It sounds easy until the timer starts shrinking and the words start fighting your eyes.

Every ten answers the rule flips: now you tap the colour the word names, and the background changes so you always know which rule is active. After twenty answers a fifth colour joins in. You have three hearts, quick answers score more, and long streaks build a combo. Every button also carries a shape, so the game stays playable for colour-blind players.
