Inspiration

You know that moment when your brain reads the word BLUE… but it’s written in red? Yeah, that’s the Stroop Effect messing with your head. I thought: what if I turn that psychological prank into a game? That’s how TrueHue was born — a puzzle that’s simple to pick up, but impossible to put down.

What I Learned

SwiftUI is equal parts magical ✨ and frustrating 😅.

Haptic feedback can actually make a game feel premium.

Leaderboards bring out the inner competitor in literally everyone.

Apple REALLY hates “invalid characters” in App Store Connect (rip my emojis 🎯⚡🎨).

How I Built It

Crafted with SwiftUI — buttery smooth, dark-mode friendly, and optimized for that indie aesthetic.

Three modes for maximum chaos:

Classic Mode: One mistake, game over.

Chrono Mode: 30 seconds of pure panic.

Find Color Mode: Spot the color before your brain betrays you.

Added local achievements so your wins stay yours, and Game Center leaderboards so you can flex on friends.

No ads. No subscriptions. Just vibes.

Challenges

Getting the difficulty curve juuuust right.

Debugging SwiftUI quirks that made me question reality.

Fighting with App Store Connect because I dared to use fancy dashes and emojis.

Being a one-person team = wearing the coder, designer, and QA hats all at once.
