Game board will consist of 8 square tiles. A location & color button.
A random position and color will appear at 2.5 second intervals. The objective of the game is to remember the location and color of tile that appears one turn back "1-n back" and indicate it by triggering the location or color buttons.
If player remembers the correct location points will be added and deducted for incorrect.
Each round will last for 20 turns.
- Improve scoring system.
- Deduct score for missed matches.
- Improve visuals.
- Increase speed between intervals.
- Increase n variable. (Memorize more steps back)
The primary goal of the game is to stress and improve your fluid intelligence with regular practice. Whether or not improvements made in the game are transferable to other areas is debatable.
