There are two types of volume slider I've encountered thus far, "too logarithmic", and "not logarithmic enough".
That's because one ear is logarithmic-based and the other is exponential-based. Which one differs per person.

#12Finished the game. It was fun to play. I got stuck for a while on the opposite level where the display doesn't update, but was able to go through the rest just fine

#14This is not an issue at all, but when ever I come across something like it, I like to poke at the frontend in dev tools a bit. You can pass most levels with `setVolume(25)` in the web console, since that function is just sitting in the document object. That feels like the ultimate volume UI puzzle heh.

Do you have a source, that seems unlikely at face value to me, though I've never gone and looked for perception studies myself.

It’s satire.

I think they're joking, this is on a thread about silly volume control UX

#18Plenty of annoyance in here for sure. Looks like 17 cannot be finished on mobile though. Switching to desktop view resets progress.

It works fine on mobile. Planned feature. You'll encounter the same offscreen popup on desktop.
