At first glance, the gameplay may seem inspired by the much beloved DVD logo idle screen, and it certainly was an inspiration.

However, the original idea is actually from cognitive science research.

MOT (Multi-Object Tracking) is a well-studied type of serious game that is widely used in all sorts of cognitive training.

It is beneficial for attention, working memory and processing speed. That makes it the perfect brain workout for our overstimulating multimedia landscape.

If you want to dive deeper, an example of meta-analysis of the state of the art (at time of writing) can be found in open access at Marion, et al. Acta Psychologica 258 (2025).

Feel free to come back to this game as much as you want instead of for-profit alternatives. Maybe I could even be persuaded to turn it into a whole brain-training-roguelike xD
