But it was fascinatingly interesting how the arrangement forced the the eyes\/brain to try to focus on two separate locations on the screen in a very counter-intuitive way. My neurons didn't want to cooperate, but I imagine they'd adapt given enough time. I'm curious if that could be adapted in any way to a practical improvement in hand\/eye coordination or flexible reflexive thinking.\r\rMaybe I just need to first drown myself in caffeine before playing a game like this. The arrow indicators were immensely helpful UI element, but I apparently needed even more help than they provided.\r\rPerhaps starting off with a slower vertical avatar speed, and\/or slower moving, more regular, or less dense obstacles, and then gradually making one or more of those variables harder over time, could help generate and maintain a state of flow. http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Flow_%28psychology%29"},{"author_name":"Pastry","author_uid":"45149","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 8:34pm","epoch":1418156940,"text":"Excellent game, great idea, frustrating and incredibly rewarding!

I liked the screen splitting, really makes this game unique and adds an element of visual dexterity on the player's side (focus up, focus down, repeat) which is cool.
