About

Simon's Triangle

Features
Read full description

Similar to the classic game "Simon Says", but with a twist... It's tougher! The LED buttons light up in a random sequence och in a accumulated pattern, try to remember the order they lit up in. Repeat the sequence in the same order. You are rewarded bonus points if you're faster than Simon. The sequence will get longer and more complex as you progress thru the levels. You can always restart the game on the highest level you acheived. There are 4 difficulty levels, one or more should suit your ability. The game is perfect for your daily brainercize and memory training.
