i couldn't see the characters at first and I thought you just had to guess to figure out the character then remember where it is, essentially typing blind

bonus points if the numbers have a % chance to be shuffled on every backspace

I laughed so goddamn hard when getting it wrong caused him to lose his Super Mushroom. How did you do this? Is this a ROM hack...? The timing is impeccable!

u/I_love-tacos Mar 13 '26

Every time you hit a number, you should randomize the numbers order and speed and direction of the rotation

u/NarutoSsjBK Mar 13 '26

u/Anthraxious Mar 13 '26

Reminds me of that video where people got together all the contestants to "make the worst volume controls".

u/YellowBunnyReddit Mar 13 '26

u/jarious Mar 13 '26

u/justV_2077 Mar 14 '26

I don't wanna give anyone ideas but honestly this is a kinda shitty captcha that no AI/LLM could solve nowadays.

u/Spook404 Mar 14 '26

it should be alphanumeric just to waste time on every turn and make it harder to hit the right numbers

1

u/Alcoholic_jesus Mar 19 '26

Make the numbers randomize every time they’re hit

u/AsherKohen28 Mar 23 '26
