How to play
Tips and detailed strategy
Reverse is a sequence-recall game that works your memory in an unusual direction: the pads on a 3x3 grid flash in order, but your job is to enter the sequence not in the order you saw it but in exactly the reverse order. At the start of each round the pads light up one by one; when the sequence ends it's your turn, and you tap backwards starting from the pad that lit up last all the way to the one that lit up first. If you complete it correctly you advance to the next round and a new pad is added to the sequence, so each round is one step longer than the previous one. A single wrong tap ends the game; the number of rounds you completed up to that point is your score, and your best result is saved in your browser. You can press the pads with the mouse/by tapping or with the 1-9 keys on the keyboard (top-left corner is 1, bottom-right corner is 9); Space or Enter starts a new game, and the R key resets at any time. Tip: while watching the sequence, number the pads in your mind in the order they flash, then read those numbers from last to first — keep a rhythm that counts backwards, not forwards. As the sequence grows, remembering the pads by their colours rather than their positions makes your job easier.
