About Backwards: Swipe in Reverse

In Backwards a word appears and you have to swipe the OPPOSITE way. If it says LEFT, swipe right. If it says UP, swipe down.

Sounds easy. Your eyes disagree.

You start with 4 seconds per word, and the time shrinks with every correct swipe. One mistake and the game is over. Can you reach 150?

HARDER AND HARDER
• Traps: "DON'T SWIPE" means you DO have to swipe… and "SWIPE" means don't touch anything.
• Shake it: some traps are solved by shaking your phone. Others, by keeping perfectly still.
• Normal stretches: suddenly everything works the way the word says… right when your brain got used to going backwards.
• Diagonals: UP RIGHT is solved by swiping down-left.

PURE SUSPENSE
• A "beep beep beep" that speeds up as it gets harder.
• Vibration in sync with the sound.
• The screen shakes when you're running out of time.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Choose the background color, the text color and one of 9 fonts.
• Turn sound and vibration on or off separately.
• In English and Spanish.

QUICK GAMES, ANYWHERE
• Short games: perfect for a line, the bus or a break.
• Works offline.
• No accounts, no sign-up: just open and play.

Test your focus and reflexes, and beat your best score again and again.

How long can your brain hold out before your eyes trick it?
