About

Lusus

Features
Read full description

Lusus is a reverse memory game where the twist is simple: instead of tapping the shapes you memorized, you must spot and tap the one that wasn’t shown. Sounds easy, until the clock starts ticking. You can also compete with friends in multiplayer mode. The rules are straightforward: memorize the shapes, find the odd one out before time runs out, and build your streak. Make a mistake, and your streak resets, so stay sharp.
