WARNING: PHOTO SENSITIVITY / EPILEPSY SEIZURES.
Some individuals may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. This game may contain elements that could trigger seizures. If you have a history of seizures or photo sensitivity, or if you experience any of the following symptoms while playing (dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions), IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE PLAY and consult your doctor

EFFORTS:
Design considerations were made to hopefully make play comfortable or safer for photosensitive folks but I cannot guarantee it's totally safe.  I have learned a lot about it and am keeping in mind what I have learned when designing.  If there are any design issues or bothersome effects please let me know and I will try to fix them.
