Rules and objective
Repeat an expanding four-position light sequence in its exact order. Each round replays the full known sequence and appends one randomly selected position.
How scoring works
The level increases after every complete sequence; the highest completed level becomes the result. Scores are saved only in this browser's local storage, so changing devices or clearing site data starts a new local record.
What we checked in this build
Input is evaluated in order, and an incorrect position restarts the run instead of silently advancing.
This note describes the Starbox implementation rather than the rules of every similarly named game elsewhere.
Give every light one permanent name
Choose a naming system before the first flash: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, or the shorter initials TL, TR, BL, BR. Do not switch to colors halfway through a round. Stable labels turn four visual positions into a small vocabulary, so the sequence TR–TR–BL is easier to rehearse than three disconnected flashes.
Remember the new ending
Each successful Starbox round extends the previous pattern by one step. You do not need to relearn the entire sequence from zero. Replay the known prefix, then pay special attention to the newly added final light. After entering the sequence, repeat the last two positions once in your head; they become the handoff point for the next round.
Break long runs into groups
When the sequence reaches six or more steps, divide it into groups of two or three. TL–BR–TR / TR–BL–TL creates two manageable units and preserves order. Add a slight mental pause between chunks even though the displayed sequence has an even rhythm. The pause is your memory structure, not an extra tap.
Recover from a specific error
After a miss, identify whether you lost a position, reversed two steps, or tapped before the light sequence ended. Each error has a different fix: strengthen labels for position errors, use shorter chunks for order errors, and keep hands still for timing errors. Score improvement comes from eliminating one failure pattern at a time.
