A puzzle game about memory, focus, and distraction. Bombs appear for only a moment. Then they disappear. The tiles begin to move. They drift. They shuffle. They hide what you saw. Your task is simple: Remember where the bombs were. But... Attention slips. Distractions appear. Movement increases. Patterns become harder to follow. Only careful focus will keep you from choosing the wrong tile. ---------------------------------- How it works: • Bombs briefly appear inside tile pairs • The tiles then shuffle across the screen • Distractions try to pull your attention away • Choose the correct tile to survive each round ---------------------------------- As you progress: The game gradually becomes more demanding: • More tiles • More movement • More distractions But something else happens too. Your mind begins to adapt. You start noticing patterns faster. Tracking tiles becomes easier. And remembering the bombs begins to feel natural. ---------------------------------- A different kind of puzzle: This is not a speed game. It is a game of attention. Notice patterns. Catch your focus drifting. Bring it back. And try not to explode the wrong tile. ---------------------------------- Copyright © 2017-2026 Floating Fire LLC All rights reserved.

Welcome to Prohor's world of Mnemonics ! Are you a forgetful person? Whether it’s silly, like forgetting to do your homework, or something serious like missing a doctor’s appointment, a neglectful mindset can lead to serious damage. Well, no need to stress, this can be improved easily, while having fun. Mnemonic's intentions are to improve your hippocampus, the part of the brain storing information for memory. Therefore, forgetfulness hopefully won’t be a trouble for you anymore. Mnemonics is a timed object matching game, which challenges you with difficult patterns and colors as it goes. This is a simple game, but deceptively useful in practice. Playing this occasionally will sharpen your focus and attention. You will also be able to analyze more indirect information with an improved peripheral vision. Overall, you'll gain better memorization skills, and not just for those silly objects shown in the games. Harder levels come with brain-sweating materials. So start with the easy ones, and only when you are comfortable to move on put more stress on your brain with the harder levels. This app is developed by me, Prohor Nishat. I am only 10 years old and had to use my dad's account to publish Mnemonics for you. Hope you enjoy the playful and colorful world of Mnemonics.
