More about this game
Shade Seeker is a visual perception puzzle where your goal is to identify the one tile that does not match the rest of the grid. You begin with three signal points and a simple two-by-two array. Every correct choice increases your score by 100 points plus a 25-point streak bonus. As you advance, the grid expands up to eight-by-eight, and the lightness difference between the odd tile and the normal tiles shrinks by a factor of 0.9 per stage. The run ends when you lose all three signal points.
Tips
- Take your time scanning the grid. There is no timer, so you can carefully compare the lightness of each tile without rushing your decision.
- Protect your streak multiplier. A wrong guess not only costs one of your three signal points but also completely resets your streak bonus back to zero.
- Prepare for the grid to expand. Every two stages, the array grows larger, eventually reaching a maximum size of eight-by-eight tiles with a minimal 3.2 shade difference.
FAQ
- How is the score calculated?
- You earn a base of 100 points for every correct tile you find. You also get an additional 25 points multiplied by your current streak, which resets if you miss.
- How does the game get harder?
- The grid size increases every two stages up to an 8x8 array. Additionally, the lightness difference between the odd tile and the normal tiles decays by ten percent each round.
- What happens when I lose?
- The run ends when you lose your three starting lives. The result screen will display your final score, the stage you reached, and the exact lightness difference you survived until.
