Bold Round

Bold Round - a color matching game where a fruit appears in the center of the field and four colored buttons sit at the bottom of the screen. Each round shows one fruit, such as a green apple, a bunch of purple grapes, a red strawberry, a yellow banana or an orange, and one of the buttons below matches its color. A timer bar at the top empties during the round, and the round ends either with a tap on a button or when the bar runs out. A correct tap adds ten points times the current series level and grows the streak counter, while every five correct taps in a row raise the series level by one, up to four steps above the base. A wrong tap or an empty timer takes one life and returns the streak and the series level to their starting values. The timer gets shorter as the streak grows, so long runs of correct answers speed up the pace. The session ends when no lives remain, and the final screen lists the score, the best result and the coins gained in that session. Coins are kept across launches and open upgrades in a separate menu: extra lives, a longer timer, a higher starting series level and a shield that absorbs a wrong tap. Upgrade levels are saved and apply from the next session. The pause button freezes the timer and offers resume, restart and a return to the menu. The settings screen contains the best result with a reset button, three difficulty modes that change the timer length and the number of lives, a switch for visual effects such as the shake and sparkle animations, and a reset for all upgrade progress.
