Seven interface-grounded mistakes

  1. Selecting before identifying the centre target colour.
  2. Looking only at the ring and not returning to the centre prompt.
  3. Confusing a nearby segment with the actual matching colour.
  4. Ignoring that the ring continues to rotate while choosing.
  5. Treating a current multiplier as a reason to skip reading the target.
  6. Forgetting that segment counts can change with the game mode or progression.
  7. Using a power-up without first checking what its limited effect changes.
