I downloaded this game after seeing it featured in an in-video advertisement while watching a YouTuber. I thought to myself, "I love puzzle games, especially math and logic puzzles!" Everything from Sudoku (classic, Killer, and Meowdoku alike) to classic tile matching, word matching, and color/arrow path finding games. Combining those with competitive, PvP-style 1v1 battles and speed-running / personal record benchmarking should have been, in theory, my new addiction. So, I downloaded it. I open the app. I am asked a questionnaire about how much time I spend doomscrolling and how much I lose focus in conversations, etc., and I'm like, "okay, weird, I just wanna do math really fast and sometimes do it against other players, but sure. I can see how this can be a brain-training app, too." Then, I was given three sample games: memory tiles, speed math, and color paths. Completed all three rounds of all three games in a little under 60 seconds, including loading time and the time it took to watch the tutorials (just to make sure I understood what exactly to do). Based on that, it gave me a "brainrot" score for three categories: memory, math speed, and focus. I got a score of "100% brainrot" in all three categories. Then it gave me an "overall brainrot score" of 75%. Uh... what? Then, the big kicker: it had me create an account before I could begin to "play," after it promised to bring my "overall brainrot" score down to a meager mid-20s percentage in "just 30 days" (oh boy!), and then locked me out of any further "game" content until I signed up for either of the Annual plan (which they so "generously" offer a 3-day trial for, then it's about $50/yr), or a monthly plan for a few bucks a month. No further free "gameplay," no actual app content, just a glorified playable advertisement, a pre-determined fake "oh no, you're dumb!" score, and false promises of improved intelligence if I would just shell out some cash. I uninstalled immediately. This may be a legitimate app with legitimately fun games and its own little community, I don't dispute that. I do, however, find it deeply unethical and immoral, and highly reminiscent of those scam emails that create a false sense of urgency to lure unwitting people into giving up their money for the promise (read: lie) that they will help solve a problem that never existed. Genuinely, shame on the developer or developers. And further shame on the YouTuber who peddled me this nonsense. I'm going to distance myself from both, and I suggest others do the same.
