🦊

Vibe's take

Brain-bending and inventive β€” less about brute memorization and more about frantically designing a private code system as the sequence keeps growing.

About this game

A relentless stream of ones and zeros threatens to overwhelm your memory, and the only tool you've got is eight cards to jot down what you can. Compress is a quirky memory game about inventing your own shorthand on the fly, squeezing as much of an impossible sequence as possible onto a painfully small notepad.
