The software seems on a par with the other automated fields tests I have regularly at hospital, and the output looks similar, showing approximately the same areas of degredation. Those automated tests are also approximate, so that's fine.
I do think there should be something to help you interpret what the results are. There's no indication what a "good" result should look like - that would be even response time across the field, and a even senstivity. Nor is there anything to say "you should go and see an eye specialist". If you get a result that looks like the patchwork I get, there should be something to let you know there could be something wrong with your eyes.

EyesCream© Visual Field Analyzer is a PC game to explore your visual ability and to achieve a visual map. It was originally designed for laser safety applications. If you believe that you are blinded by high intensity light sources for example by gazing at a partial solar eclipse or intense laser or arc lamps you should consult your eye doctor first. Nevertheless it may also show up here, but this is a game. Under certain setup conditions (very large monitor) it possibly could also reveal glaucoma progression or age-related macula degeneration. (Whether it can detect retinal detachment is yet unclear.) This program does not dispense you from a regular visit of an eye doctor!
