Icon Order

1. Watch the icons appear in sequence
2. They reappear shuffled in a bank
3. Tap them in the original order
4. 3 lives; each level adds an icon

Sequence. Serial recall has a signature: you remember the first items and the last items best, and the middle sags. That U-shape, the serial position curve, was measured by Murdock in 1962 and shows up in everything from word lists to court testimony. This game's middle icons are where your run will live or die.

Murdock, 1962, Journal of Experimental Psychology.

Give the middle extra attention on purpose; the ends will take care of themselves.
