How to Play
Your mission is to destroy each invading Frequons by moving the cursor on top of it.
What could be easier?
Except for one itty bitty detail: the Frequons are not displayed in the usual
spatial domain, but in the Fourier Domain.
Frequons look like colored waves. Your "self" is a wave too, with opposite polarity.
Instead of manipulating some local point on the screen,
you manipulate a global wave pattern.
You destroy Frequons by achieving destructive interference with them.
Here's a screenshot of the Windows version:
The game comes with more documentation.
There's a training mode for learning how to play by experimenting.
So don't worry if you don't know what the Fourier Domain is.
By playing it, you'll develop a feel for a game that has been described as psychadelic, compelling, and strangely addictive.
