Cognido: A University Project That Conquered the App Stores
Cognido, a fast-paced brain-training game developed by university student David Schreiber, is proving to be a surprisingly successful solo project. Offering quick matches against friends and strangers, Cognido presents a range of challenges, from basic math problems to trivia and beyond.
With an impressive 40,000 downloads, Cognido's success is readily apparent. While its squid-like mascot, Nido, may not possess the same comforting charm as Dr. Kawashima, the game's engaging gameplay clearly resonates with players.
Made in Germany, Free and Premium Options Available
Unlike many university projects destined for oblivion, Cognido offers both free and premium gameplay options, suggesting it's not a purely academic endeavor. A subscription unlocks the full Cognido experience, but a free trial allows potential players to test the waters before committing.
A significant update is on the horizon, introducing a new "Clash" mode that allows for four to six-player competitions. This expansion promises even more engaging brain-teasing action.
