How did you know it was all but one correct?

The game beeps if you get a guess incorrect.

Yes but for at least some of us, the confetti was seen on the round where we used our last guess. So we are wondering how the commenter knows there weren't more rounds. Did you get confetti on a round that you know to have guessed correctly?

Edit: I just played again and am confident that my guess before the confetti was correct.

It 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…

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!

What would be really cool, is knowing what was supposed to be different.

That is, how was it different? I got all but 1, and it'd be neat to know what primary colour was different. Then you'd know what your eyes have issue with.

Even neater would be a further series of tests on that weakness.

(Some people, mostly some women, have an expressed gene where they can detect 4 primaries. Wonder how that works here...)

Just played again. A nice touch would be the ability to play with the confetti as it falls. Just a thought.

I definitely guessed the last one correctly, because it was obvious to me, as were nearly all of them.

I'd have to go back through it and deliberately fail on the last one to confirm, but I assumed I'd get the error beep on the past one if it was wrong.

Feedback: - At end of game show statistics correct/incorrect

- At the end of game show which particular color weaknesses were identified

- Show progress meter (1 of 20)

- I have a red/green weakness and I expected to run into issues. One of the greens was hard to differentiate but I still got it right. I expected it to be harder. Perhaps look up exact pallets for different color perception issues and use those.

I 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 thin…

It does seem like they use darker/lighter shades instead of redder/greener/bluer at the same intensity but I don't have the means to check if that's true
