Simon

Introduction

Simon is based on the color-pattern matching game from 1978. In our version, the user is presented with a hexagonal gameboard comprising 6 colored regions.

Gameplay

When you start a new game, Simon generates a random color pattern and teaches it to you. Once you've seen the pattern, Simon wants you to repeat the pattern back. Successfully completing a round results calculation of score and lives.

At the beginning of each new round, Simon adds a random new color to the end of the existing pattern and teaches you the complete pattern.

The faster you recite the pattern, the more points Simon awards you!

If you make a mistake or two, all may not be lost. You are a cat, after all, aren't you?!

It sounds easy, right? Give it a try and see just how far you get and what prizes are in store for you!

In addition to the universal controls of Panther City 50:
