### BY PepRally

If your passion involves mixing paint to attain specific tones, then *Specimen* should come easy to you. The game involves picking out the floating blob of color (in a dish containing many) that matches the tone in the background. It’s a task that encourages thorough use of the squint, which isn’t actually helping you at all, but it feels like it is. For this is a test of your perception under the clock. Is it that shade of purple you’re after? Or is that one? You’ll only ever have a matter of seconds to work out the answer. And if you’re wrong and out of lives your score will be counted early prompting you to jump right back in. *Specimen* is a remarkable game of slights, both in its color-picking challenge, and how demanding it is of your time.

**Perfect for:** Petri dish pokers, painters, commuters

**Playtime:** Minutes at a time
