Update: v7 is up (hard refresh if you still see the old build).
Since v2 I chased one problem: the game kept lighting up the answer. Every version, someone read the source and found the same lie one layer down. First the tell sat on a fixed clock you could learn. Then the live lane was always the visibly faster fill, so following the leader was free. Then the window stayed open until the pop, so you could just wait and press. All true. All fixed.
v7 is the first build where the game cannot show you the answer:
- both lanes charge, and either can be the real one
- the real lane only gives itself away by speeding up partway in, not at the start
- the bait lane can speed up too, so "who is faster" is a bad guess about half the time
- the commit window closes before the pop, so waiting for certainty means you miss
Read the source if you want, but what I actually need is a stranger's gut: when you commit, does it feel like you read it, or like luck? And after a run, do you want to go again? Blunt is the point.
