Good one :) Iโ€™ve playtested this game on Poki audience and results were not good so far. I think the split screen is an issue and the design is too complex in that version. I will rework it later with a fresh eye. Simplify rules and visual complexity ๐Ÿคž

An array of 9 purple discs on a blue background. Figure from Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt.

An array of 9 purple discs on a blue background. Figure from Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.

The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.
