epileptic condition or experience any of the following symptoms
while playing this game: altered vision, eye or muscle twitching,
other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your sur­roundings, mental confusion and/or convulsions.

PREPARE TO SCRAMBLE YOUR MIND!

Follow the lights? No problem! Repeat a sequence of light and
sound? A bit harder. But what if the entire game spins while you
try? WHOA!!! Mind Scrambler spins, reverses, and dodges your
every move! Just don’t get too dizzy as you try to follow the
lights! With three exciting games to choose from, Mind
Scrambler is the whirling, twirling game of twisted fun!
