#2Neat, but it doesn’t answer the question. It would be nice to see how well you scored compared to others.

Thanks for the feedback! I get what you mean. Since the levels aren't infinite, my initial idea was that anyone who can spot all the colors will finish the initial version of the game. But I'm planning to add score comparisons if people like it. Appreciate you playing!

#5It would be nice to see:
How many questions there are in total. For e.g., question 1/25 leads to 2/25, etc.
How many were answered correctly. (There are a couple that I'm not sure if I got wrong or was lucky in guessing.)
How one's score compares to the baseline average. (Not to other players, because other players could be re-taking the test many times or cheating. Take 25 random people, have them play the game once with no training or coaching, and use that as the baseline.)

Thanks for the feedback! Since the game is still in the early version, my initial idea was to keep it simple, to see if people will play it at all, but I’m definitely planning to add features like showing the total number of questions/statistics. Appreciate you playing!

#7Interesting tool.
It needs a couple of options.
One button option should indicative the person is unable to see any difference, and move on, a second button option should be the box they indicated they were sure is a different colour was not right, and move on. Additionally the tool should map the position of the box when they were sure but were wrong, and keep a record as the person works though the game, just in case their screen is not perfect. Perhaps even come back to the same colour scheme but put the different colour in a different part of the screen.
It shouldn't be forgotten that people actually tune into slightly different colours given some time - fruit and vegetable graders who visually inspect, and those who are working hard to purchase the just right fruit and vegs, find given time and practice, they'll slowly learn to perceive the very minor differences in certain shades or hues.
Edit twice, a couple mins later and another couple for additional clarification.

Thanks for the feedback! My initial idea was to make something super simple for children, this is why I didn't add any buttons (there are 0 buttons in any of my games on my website, except for "start" button). But let me see if there are any alternative solution.

#9So I completed it. Did I do well? No metric? Confused.

#10I got the confetti at the end, what did I find out?
There were 2 I had to just start hitting squares until I got it right, and one of those I did notice the different one once I started tapping, I probably could have spotted it if I was more intentional. This seemed significantly easier than the standard Ishihara tests for me, which makes me question how well it works to judge color vision. I’m red/green color blind and the Ishihara test usually have me skipping a significant number, because I don’t see anything… to the point doctors bring out a basic red, yellow, green cards to make sure I can see traffic lights.
