Simple Simon Game Gets Tougher with Swipe
Feb 17, 2014 20:36
Remember Simon, the simple game that had players trying to perfectly recreate an ever-growing sequence of flashing colors by pressing a set of four buttons?
It's so simple, yet frustrating, and now it's getting harder because Hasbro is adding swipe gestures into the mix with an all-new Simon Swipe.
Hasbro realizes it has to now cater to a generation that is growing up with swiping gesture-driven games on touchscreen phones and tablets.
So now, instead of just remembering what color of button just lit up, you also have to keep track of which direction the lights are moving. It sounds even more frustrating than its original version, and it'll be available this summer for $20.
