Tax Your Brain Cells With Memneon [Review]

Look, memory and me just don’t get on. I forget where I’ve left my keys, even when I’ve left them on the Special Key Hanging Hook that I put up precisely to avoid that.

I forget why I went upstairs. I forget why I walked from one room to the next. Once, I forgot why I stood up from my chair, stayed there swaying in confusion for a moment, then just sat down again.

Imagine, then, the state of dribbling horror a game like Memneon leaves me in.

It’s a memory game for iOS, and it’s pretty neat. Built by Stephen Turnbull (no relation), the concept is simple enough: on a grid of circular blobs, a neon-lit pattern will briefly appear. Your job is to repeat the pattern once it’s faded from sight.

As you go on, the patterns get more complicated and their appearances briefer.

Here’s the video trailer:

See what I mean? It’s quite addictive, even for the memory-challenged like me.

I did have a funny gag to end this review with, but I’ve forgotten it. Honestly, sometimes I just despair.
