If you posted without the boastful and made-up claim in the title, it wouldn't be flagged now.

Edit: original title claimed it would increase your IQ

    The game is just a fun logic challenge to get you thinking. I didn't realize saying it increases IQ might not be accurate and cause such a big reaction. It's more about exercising your mind.

Quite entertaining; only flaw is it ends too soon:-)

    Agreed, but also I’d like some article or something explaining its relation to iq and how the claim that it increases it came about

Cool game. But may I suggest, on games with a known, finite number of levels, you have an indication that I am now doing level "X of N" ? Otherwise it's not known whether new positions will keep popping up indefinitely, whether one should continue playing, whether progress can be saved, etc.

Good Game. Was it created using some AI Model?

  • vidzertOP a year ago

    I used AI, but mostly for geometry (e.g. find a formula to understand that lines are crossing each other).

    Close, we're training an AI model, profiting a mTurk and bypassing captchas

Dunno I am pretty low IQ and these are really simple to solve. I don't think a mild cognitive challenge will raise IQ.

Nice game, more levels and better color schemes.

I really couldn't tell the red from the green :)

  • vidzertOP a year ago

    Oh, thanks. I didn't realize that colors could be a problem. I will try to come up with something different next time.

Fun game. Thanks for making me feel like I'm getting smarter while on the can.

Cool game. You should do a wordle like version with daily puzzles.

  • vidzertOP a year ago

    Unfortunately there are not too many original versions of levels. Most difficult levels are very similar.

Funny game, I don't know about the iq part.

"Fun 5min game to engage your iq", maybe. And it's fine as such :-). Not everything needs to be "this one trick to increase your iq that doctors don't want you to know!"
