2-Back: Remember whether position or color are the same as 2 rounds ago.

N-back: Remember whether position or color are the same as n rounds ago.

Controls:

You can switch colors for letters in the additional menu (P) in case you're color blind or are more comfortable recognizing them.

Made it to 35 on 1-Back.  My brain... Not sure why that was so hard.

If you're interested in making it color-blind friendly, symbols that correspond with the color would help.  That would veer from the basic visual design you've got.

As is, it's a very fun, simple, and stimulating game.  Good job!

Thanks :), and you can actually switch up colors for letters (I should probably add it in the description) press P for the additional menu and it's the first option.

Oh nice! I love it!  Thanks!
