Pattern encoding
Players study a grid for a short reveal window, tagging polarity clusters and anchor points before the screen wipes.

Polarity Grid
Polarity Grid is a minimalist memory puzzle. Observe a grid of polarities, encode it in seconds, then rebuild or transform it with surgical precision. Every move counts.

Precision reconstruction
After the reveal, the same grid must be rebuilt from memory. Every misplaced polarity shifts the efficiency score.
Tiered escalation
Higher tiers stack transforms—mirrors, rotations, polarity swaps—forcing players to mentally remap before committing moves.
Core loop
Each run starts with an observation phase where the grid glows briefly. Players tag polarity pairs, memorize offsets, and prep transformations. Once the reveal ends, the interface strips to a blank slate, expecting the pattern to be rebuilt without wasted moves.
Rounds inside tiers
Each tier contains multiple rounds that remix objectives, from simple recalls to inversion puzzles.
Scoring compression
Efficiency bonuses reward minimal moves, while penalties apply for unnecessary toggles.
Lab-grade aesthetic
Clean typography, subtle color pulses, and meter-like sound design keep attention on the puzzle.
Roadmap
Current
Soft launch across limited territories with Tier 1-3 available.
Next
Introduce Tier 4 rotations plus leaderboards measuring move efficiency.
Later
Global rollout once scoring telemetry stabilizes across devices.
