Cognido: A University Project Turned Thriving Brain-Training Game
Developed by university student David Schreiber, Cognido is a solo-developed multiplayer brain-training game that's already amassed 40,000 downloads. Offering fast-paced matches against friends and strangers, Cognido presents a diverse range of challenges, progressing from basic math problems to trivia and beyond.
This solo project, reminiscent of those university assignments that sometimes unexpectedly flourish, provides a unique take on brain training. Unlike some academic projects destined for oblivion, Cognido has achieved remarkable success. While its squid-like mascot, Nido, may lack the comforting charm of Dr. Kawashima, the game's engaging gameplay is undeniably appealing.
A German-Made Game with Free and Premium Options
Cognido, developed in Germany, offers both free and premium gameplay. While a subscription unlocks the full potential of the game, a free trial allows players to experience Cognido before committing.
A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode. This mode will allow for larger-scale competitions with four to six players battling it out to claim the title of ultimate brain champion.
