About this matchup
Color memory game vs Smudge
Smudge is what happened when a wet thumb landed on a finished painting and refused to apologise. Cheerful, confident, and wrong about roughly two rounds in three — a mood that has never once been dented by a scoreboard.
Smudge draws the Easy variant, the most forgiving board on the roster: five four-second flashes and three plain sliders with no decoys. Nothing about the format is trying to trick anybody, which is exactly the level of complication Smudge can handle. Expect big confident slider moves in roughly the right postcode.
In the Color Memory Game, Smudge plays the Easy variant — five 4-second flashes, three sliders, no decoys. Every one of Smudge’s guesses is generated to land inside their personal accuracy band, so a bad round on their side stays in character and a great round on yours actually wins the match.
Difficulty: Trivial
30–55% accuracy — a comfortable bot to warm up against.
How to beat Smudge
The 30–45% accuracy band is the lowest on the entire roster, so Smudge genuinely misses rounds — hue overshoots, saturation parked in the wrong half. You do not need a clean game here; you need to not give rounds away. Take the full four seconds on each flash, set hue first, and a 30+ run usually closes it out.
