About this game
This game is inspired by a public task from experimental psychology about deciding how much to risk when each attempt can be lost. It is an original version made for this site, not the task itself.
When you finish, the summary of your play style shows which end of the "Risk" bar your way of playing leans toward in this session: "Banks early" or "Pushes each balloon". It is not a score or a percentile, it does not compare you with other people, and neither end is better than the other.
