Tate Modern has released Race Against Time an iPhone app available from the App Store for iPod and iPhone. The app is a free download.
In the year 2011Dr. Greyscale finally completes his experiments on chameleons, harnessing their incredible colour matching abilities to create ‘The Chromovacuum’. With this infernal device he plans to suck all the colour from the world and then rent tiny pieces out at a huge price.
As he turns on the machine, one plucky chameleon (you!) manages to escape and leap through a time portal to 1890. Your mission? To race through time collecting ‘Chromoparticles’ of colour power from as many major modern art movements as you can. With these ‘Chromos’ you can overload the machine and save the world.
Want to supercharge your chameleon? Activate Turbo mode at Tate Modern to harness the energy from thousands of modern and contemporary artworks. Jump higher to reach those extra chromos or kill your enemies with your tongue. Can you collect enough to stop Greyscale before his machine destroys all colour forever? – www.tate.org.uk
