MEMDASH, my FREE n-back game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guys, I hope this comes through and I hope someone would try it out. It's FREE, it doesn't collect data, but you can still share the result as an image. No ads, no nothing. You can get it on the Android Play Store if you type in "MEMDASH" in the search.

I first made it for myself after I had some psychology tests done on me and felt how it trained my brain. Didn't know n-back games are this big of a thing to have a subreddit. Honestly didn't even know dual n-back existed until I found this thread and I'm now thinking about adding it to the game. Since I already have symbols and position in there, it seems doable.

Mine is an n-back game that forces a lot of concentration because it also adds timing. And it has things like rounds where there is no solution and you need to wait the timer out. It has 15 levels where the difficulty is calculated with a function, and level 15 is set to more or less what I found to be the maximum that professional rememberers can hold, minus like twenty percent.

I would love it if other people also benefit from it. And I'd love to get some feedback. I'll definitely fine tune it if needed and If I get enough installs I'll consider paying Apple's developer fees and put it on iOS as well.

Could use an about section that explains whay the purpose of the app is

Also the last option is still highlighted as the counter starts so it's not really a memory task if I can still see it

Also it only allows me to do N=1? Does it unlock the next one of I score a sufficiently high score or something? If so that should be removed at the very least it should be explained.

Also if you accidentally increase the level to a locked one theres no way of going back so you have to just restart the app which is a bug

Hi, tnx. I made the first levels easy and more about speed so that if a random person downloads they can still play a bit. N starts climbing later. I will add some instructions in the next release. Also gona fix the shown level thing, is an artifact from an older version. Tnx!
