## What is Outsider?

Can you spot the outsider?

Outsider is a colour perception puzzle that challenges your visual acuity. Each round presents you with a grid of coloured circles - all identical except one. Your mission: find the odd one out before time runs out.

It sounds simple, but as you progress the colour differences become increasingly subtle, pushing your perception to its limits. With over 16 million possible colours generated from the full RGB spectrum, no two games are ever the same.

HOW TO PLAY
* Tap the circle that's a different colour from the rest
* Score points for each correct answer
* Beat the countdown timer to keep playing
* Watch for urgency alerts as time runs low
* Challenge yourself to beat your high score

FEATURES
* 16 Million Colours - Every shade from the full RGB colour space. Differences start obvious and become almost imperceptible as difficulty increases.
* Multiple Layouts - Progress through increasingly complex arrangements:
  - Grid: Classic rows and columns
  - Triangle: Triangular formations that challenge your scanning patterns
  - Spiral: Circles arranged in spirals that disrupt linear searching
  - Fractal: Complex fractal patterns for the ultimate visual challenge
* Difficulty Progression - The game adapts as you improve:
  - Colour differences decrease across fewer RGB channels
  - Circle count increases, making the target harder to find
  - Layouts evolve from simple grids to complex patterns
* Countdown Timer - Race against the clock with visual and audio urgency alerts that intensify as time runs low. Each correct answer adds precious seconds.
* Game Center Leaderboards - Compete globally and with friends. See how your colour perception ranks against players worldwide.
* Music & Sound - Immersive audio with full music controls. Toggle sound effects and background music independently.
* Clean Design - Modern UI with safe area support for all iPhone and iPad models, including devices with Dynamic Island and notch.
