dopamin — beynindeki gibi bir ağ. Tek bir nörona dokun, sinyalin dallanıp tüm ağı ateşleyişini izle. Her seviye küçük bir bulmaca: doğru nörondan başla ki sinyal ağın tamamına yayılsın. Kolay başlar; sonra gerçek nörobilimden ilham alan mekanikler işin içine girer — tek yönlü sinapslar, sinyali yutan GABA düğümleri, aynı anda iki sinyal isteyen kavşaklar, refrakter dönemler, ritme uyan nöronlar, iki daldan beslenen astrosit köprüleri, sinyali 2.5 kat hızlandıran miyelin otoyolları, menzili tazeleyen dopamin düğümleri, ekranı tarayan delta dalgaları, birbirini uyandıran oksitosin bağları ve sıralama isteyen NMDA kapıları. Her yeni mekanik önce tek başına öğretilir, sonra kombinasyonlar gelir. ÖZELLİKLER • 1200'den fazla dengelenmiş seviye — her biri çözülebilirlik ve adillik testinden geçti • 12 nörobilim temalı mekanik, kademeli öğretim, her 50 bölümde bir "zirve" meydan okuması • Günün Ağı — herkese aynı, her gün yeni bir bulmaca • Zen Akışı — sayaçsız, baskısız, sonsuz akış • Yıldız topla — her seviyeyi en az dokunuşla bitirip mükemmeli yakala • Takıldığında ipucu — doğru nöronu gösterir, sıra sırayla • Biyolüminesan "Lumen Soft" görsellik ve pentatonik sesler • Tatmin edici dokunuş hissi: parçacıklar, ince titreşim, akıcı animasyon • Ceza yok — yaklaştığında "çok az kaldı", istediğin kadar dene Reklamsız. Rahatsız eden hiçbir şey yok. Baştan sona sadece oyun. Bir sinyalin bir ağı nasıl aydınlattığını hissetmek isteyen herkes için.
