I played the game "blind" (i.e. I avoided reading the comments before playing) and was able to figure it out and beat the game without ever losing my ship. I really enjoyed it. The one part that I felt could have been made a lot clearer was that the "shape" of the mind signals how quickly they move towards your ship; I think I only figured that out around level 3 or so.

Any instructions? I just played a couple of rounds and couldn't see any particular patterns or methodology related to probability or inference or scientific thinking.

Thanks.
