DeceptionJam 2015 – Winner of the DeceptionJam 2015!
There is no game, so you do nothing.
All you have to do is don’t touch the screen, the game will continue on its own.
And you can watch the game develop before your very eyes: no one will touch your screen.
The game will continue to develop by itself. And before your very eyes, the screen will start to bleed.
Do you know why?
It’s called the CRT effect.
CRT stands for cathode ray tube.
CRT TVs, the original kind of monitors, have exactly that same effect.
It’s a technique where each pixel of the image on the TV screen is reproduced by a dot of light on the screen of the TV.
This dot of light is controlled by a cathode, which emits electrons and allows the dot to become brighter or dimmer.
This dot is so small and so precise that if a TV screen is viewed at a very close distance, it appears to be a smooth continuous surface.
That’s the same with the screen of your smartphone.
The dot of light is so small and so precise that if a screen is viewed at a very close distance, it appears to be a smooth continuous surface.
Therefore, your screen is like a CRT.
And the more your screen is used, the faster the CRT effect will appear on the screen, like blood splatters on a windshield of a car.
You’re not alone. Millions of people already have this CRT effect on their smartphones.
And you know what that means. The screen isn’t flat anymore.
Because you’re too close, your screen now distorts the shape of your surroundings.
