Persistence

< PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION >

Persistence is puzzle game based on the principle of persistence of vision. Made in around 3h, for the Trijam#140 - Theme: Optical Illusion

If you are not familiar with "persistence of vision" (or "retinal persistence"), we highly recommend you to check the little video below first !

--- Controls (keyboard) ---

• Space : Hide the layout to start playing the level

• Arrow Keys : Move

--- Description of the game ---

This game features 10 mazes to complete with the magic of persistence of vision.

Each level starts with the layout of the maze visible, and at this point you still cannot move. First, the goal is to stare at the blue marker in the middle of the screen for a moment (10 to 30 seconds can be enough) in order to "print" the layout on your retina. Once you feel ready, press down your spacebar to make the layout disappear, and if you stared the marker enough, you will be able to actually see the maze even on a blank screen ! That's the magic of retinal persistence. Finally, use the short time you have, while you get the persistence, to try to complete the level before it fades out from your eyes.

Of course even after the layout disappears, you have to keep your eyes focused on the marker as much as possible, otherwise you will probably not be able to see the maze at the right place. 

! IMPORTANT ! The first levels are enough simple to complete them by spatial memory but we highly encourage you to practice with retinal persistence for the last levels where you will certainly need it !

Pro tips: When the persistence seems to fade out, you can try to blink. It will kindof "refresh" the persistence.
