About Chroma Trek
Chroma Trek is a color-switching auto-runner where your cube races forward automatically and you control which of three colors — red, blue, or green — it currently is. Obstacle walls along the track are color-coded, and your cube can only pass through walls that match its current color. A wrong color on approach destroys the run. The 1, 2, and 3 keys switch your cube's color instantly, and the challenge is always reading what's coming, pre-switching with enough lead time, and chaining the switches correctly when multiple colored walls appear in quick succession.
The game adds physical obstacles — gaps that require jumping, spikes that require ducking, and sudden drops — on top of the color-switching layer. This means you're not just managing color state; you're simultaneously managing spatial position with the movement keys while pre-switching color for the approaching wall. The two challenge types interlock in later stages: a section might require a color switch followed immediately by a jump, then another color switch before the landing, creating a precise multi-input sequence under full running speed.
Color switch timing is the defining skill gap. Beginners switch in reaction to seeing a wall — too late, causing a collision before the switch completes. Experienced players switch as soon as they can identify an upcoming wall's color, one or two steps before arrival. This anticipatory approach becomes essential in fast-paced middle and late stages where the gap between identification and collision shrinks to almost nothing.
Red sections typically appear after high-speed segments in Chroma Trek, making them harder to react to than blue or green sections. The general difficulty curve places more color-switch demands in the same sections that also push speed, compounding the challenge. Players who've mastered the physical obstacle set will still find the late stages demanding because the color-reading speed required exceeds the pace that felt comfortable in earlier sections.
Key Features
- Three-color switching system — press 1, 2, or 3 to change your cube to red, blue, or green in real time
- Color-coded obstacle walls that only allow passage when the cube matches the wall's color — wrong color ends the run
- Physical obstacles (gaps, spikes, sudden drops) layered on top of color-matching demands
- Escalating speed that shortens the color-identification window as stages progress
- Auto-running cube that maintains forward movement — all inputs are reactive color switches and spatial adjustments
Controls
How to Play
- 1The cube moves forward automatically. Watch the track ahead for colored walls and physical obstacles.
- 2Press 1, 2, or 3 to switch to the matching color before reaching each wall. Switch early — don't wait until the wall is immediately in front of you.
- 3Use arrow keys to jump over gaps and duck under low obstacles. These physical inputs work independently of the color switching.
- 4When a color switch immediately precedes a jump, execute the color switch first and the jump second — never the reverse.
- 5In later stages with rapid sequences, identify the next two walls ahead simultaneously and plan both switches before the first one arrives.
Tips & Tricks
- Pre-switch the moment you can identify a wall's color — one full beat before arrival. Reactive switching (at the wall) is too late at anything beyond the early stages.
- Red sections after speed boosts are the hardest combination in Chroma Trek. Slow your visual scanning slightly in speed-boost zones to give yourself time to identify the upcoming wall color.
- When a physical obstacle and a color wall are back-to-back, treat them as a single sequence problem: plan the color switch AND the jump/duck together before you reach either one.
- Spikes are always passable regardless of current color — they're physical obstacles, not color gates. You can move through a spike section on any color as long as you physically navigate around the spikes.

FAQ
Three colors: red (key 1), blue (key 2), and green (key 3). Every colored obstacle wall in the game uses one of these three, and your cube must match to pass through.
Hitting a wall at the wrong color ends the run immediately. There are no lives or second chances within a run.
No — physical obstacles require spatial navigation regardless of your current color. Only the color-coded walls are affected by which color your cube currently is.
In Chroma Trek's level design, red obstacles are specifically placed after speed-boost sections, meaning you have less reaction time to identify them and switch. This is a deliberate design choice to escalate difficulty at speed.
