I got some confetti after an unknown number of clicks, but this doesn't answer the question of "how good is my color vision"

#12As someone who has been offered similar buy-outs, the one presented here is a poor deal. I would not have taken that one unless I already had a job waiting for me.

#13Neat, 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!
Time taken too, since this is a game it adds a bit of challenge to it beyond "you can/can't see all the colors".

Well could you see the multicolored confetti?

#16I 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…
I breezed through this test, with the exception of maybe one or two squares.
I’m red/green colorblind but constantly doubt if I am. Every few years I ask an eye doctor if I’m colorblind. The last time I did this they only went through a few pages of the Ishihara test before closing it and saying, “Yep, you’re colorblind.” I’m also able to read reverse Ishihara tests which my non-colorblind friends can’t.
I don’t think I’ve ever called something red when it was green or vise versa when someone’s asked me to identify its color. Red and green look quite different to me! However, I cannot for the life of me spot my dog’s red frisbee in green grass, or pick out a red character among a bunch of green ones without looking at each character. These are both things people in my family with perfect color vision do just fine and without difficulty.

Yup. I got all but one correct. Confetti but no score.

This is basically a textbook description of standard red green colorblindness. Whenever you find yourself doubting whether you actually are red/green colorblind, just go strawberry picking with friends.

#19Interesting 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 ca…
I think the screen can definitely be a factor. I'm using a monitor with a TN type panel, and the viewing angle will change the amount of contrast which makes a difference in the later stages. Some would have been impossible to pass first time without shifting my head, even if my eyes are up to the task.

I'm extremely bad at picking fruit in our garden. I'll go to pick the raspberries, strawberries, or peppers and only find a few. Then my wife will go out and find several times my haul from the same plants.
