About Roundel Color Jump
Roundel is a tower of glass: a night glasshouse at the bottom, then a clock loft, a bell tower, lantern-lit roofs, a gallery in the clouds and an observatory at the top. Its windows turn on their own, and they let through only light of their own color.
Tap to hop a glass bead up a tower of turning stained-glass gates. Pass only through your own color; prisms let you pick the next one.
How to play Roundel Color Jump
Tap, click or press Space to hop; the bead falls back between hops. The gates turn on their own, and you may pass a gate only through panes of the same color as your bead: touching any other color breaks it, and so does dropping too far below your highest point. The panes of your color on the gates ahead glow, and every color carries its own mark (triangle, ring, two bars, cross) on the bead and on the glass. Changers between the gates set your next color: a glass drop gives exactly the color it shows, and from stage 2 a turning prism gives the color of the facet that faces down at the moment you touch it. Pass the next gate before the ring around your bead runs out to keep your Flow streak; every three gates in a row raise the multiplier, up to x5. Gems in the middle of a gate and close passes add points. Every stage ends with a Rose window; passing it takes you to the next place, with new kinds of gates and a faster turn. Each stage gives you one spare bead: the first break forms a new bead under the gate, and every Rose window gives the spare back.

Features
Six places, ten kinds of gate
Journey climbs six stages of twelve gates and a Rose window each: rings in the Glasshouse, sliding belts in the Clock Loft, mirrored double rings and spinning crosses in the Bell Tower, stepping rings and turning frames on the Lantern Roofs, drifting rings and bead rings in the Cloud Gallery, and rings that turn with your taps in the Observatory.
Pick your color with a prism
From stage 2 a turning prism sets your next color: you take the facet that faces down, so a well-timed hop picks the color the next gate is about to show.
Flow streak
Reach the next gate before the ring around your bead runs out and the streak grows; every three gates raise the multiplier on gates and gems, up to x5.
Endless, daily and hard
Endless keeps climbing past the sixth stage with the gates turning faster. The daily climb gives everyone the same tower for the day. Hard mode opens at stage 4: no glow on your color and every gate turns faster.
Race a friend
Play with a friend races up the same tower, two or four stages long, with your rival's bead climbing beside yours.
Tips
- Wait under a gate until your color reaches the bottom, then hop twice: one hop seldom carries you through the pane in time.
- Inside a four-color ring your color has to come round to the top as well, so hover with short single hops while it turns.
- A prism gives the facet facing down when you touch it: look at the gate above first and hop into the prism when its color is the one coming round.
- Each tap turns a ring with brass arrows by one pane, so count your hops before you go through it.
- On a bead ring you can slip through a gap between two beads as well as through your own color.
Frequently asked questions
Which panes can I pass through?
Only panes of the same color as your bead. They glow on the gates ahead and carry the same mark as your bead: triangle, ring, two bars or cross.
How does the prism work?
The prism turns, and you take the color of the facet facing down when your bead touches it. The facet that would be taken is lifted and has a small brass notch under it.
Why did my bead break without touching anything?
It fell too far below its highest point. Keep hopping: the bead may drop a little between hops, but not all the way off the bottom of the screen.
Can I play it on a phone?
Yes. Tap anywhere to hop; it plays upright or sideways and in full screen.
Is my progress saved?
Your best scores, the stages you reached and your missions are saved on this device. Journey can start from stages 3 and 5 once you reach them.
