This is a combination of 3 separate cognitive functions: Memory, Concentration and Judgement. Each area has 5 different mini-games. It is my first ‘brain’ game, so I do not have a frame of reference for comparison.
With each task, the top screen keeps a tally of the number of questions and how many you got correct. As you get right answers, your level of difficulty increases and as you get them wrong, your level of difficulty is maintained; however, miss more and your level goes down. The premise of each game is the similar, flash cards or objects are shown and you try to recall or match that item. This game probably helps develop people cognitive pathways after frequent play.
The game uses the touch screen and stylus for all games.
Various games are listed below:
Remember colors – Select a pattern of colors after they are displayed for a short time.
Remember numbers – Multiple choice format of selecting a number after it is flashed.
Remember circumstances – Select image that didn’t appear on the 1st run.
Remember faces – A face is displayed and you choose which of the 4 is correct.
Remember images – Images are displayed and you choose what did not appear initially.
Finding a match – Match a pair of items that are displayed on a grid.
Shape recognition – Select a picture that matches the sample.
Match the Kanji Characters – Match the character from a list of characters (similar to shape recognition).
Remember sequence – Which picture appeared in the sequence?
Moving dots – Select the number of moving dots.
Dots – Select the number of stationary dots.
Colors – Select the color most often represented.
Find the goal – Select the goal where the spaceship will end.
Total amount of money – Total up the amount of money against time.
Addition – Add up the numbers from the listed flash cards.
Conceptually, the games are easy in theory, but racing against time with higher levels of difficulty, I started to realize the challenges. It is a great game for helping you concentrate, stay focused and think analytically in a quick manner.
This is more for an adolescent to an adult. Younger players would probably find this game boring or frustrating. Given the repetitive nature, it may not be for everyone. There is a head to head function that allows players to compete with each other.
This is a nice series of minigames that will keep your mind sharp and help you think quickly.
Graphics are not sophisticated and music is redundant. However, the picture quality of the puzzles is good.
I really like this game for its challenges.
Rating: 4 / 5
Pros:
Most of the games are actually a decent challenge.
The games change the level of difficulty in real time based on your last answer.
Cons:
Very low-quality production – lots of re-use of graphics and the absolute bare minimum of design.
The training games are mostly duller and less fun copies of ones I have already seen in other brain training games.
In some of the games, one will get the top ranking after a few tries while with others the top ranking will not be attainable by normal people.
Comments: While this game is usable for brain training, you should only consider it if you have already played all the other much better quality brain games out there like Brain Challenge, Brain Voyage, and Big Brain Academy.
