Obby But You Can't Touch A Color
The forbidden-color rule
Step
When a round begins, the game shows you which color you cannot touch. That color switches every 20 seconds, so even mid-run you need to keep glancing at it. A platform that was safe a moment ago can become a trap the instant the color changes.
- Check the color look at the forbidden color displayed on screen before you move anywhere.
- Read ahead scan the next few platforms and spot any that match the forbidden color before you commit to a jump.
- Count the timer the color switches every 20 seconds, so slow down as a switch approaches and confirm what the new color is before continuing.
