More about this game
In this fast-paced reaction test, your goal is to tap flashing squares before they vanish. A new square spawns exactly 190 milliseconds after the previous one disappears or is tapped. Hitting the 150-pixel target increases your score by one, triggers a burst of 18 particles, and builds your streak. Missing or running out of time resets your streak to zero and adds to your miss counter. The run ends in victory if you reach the score goal of 25, or in defeat when the timer reaches 30.
Tips
- Watch the shrinking timer bar located just below each square; it turns pink when 72 percent of the time has elapsed, warning you to tap immediately.
- Focus on accuracy over raw speed, because tapping outside the 150-pixel target creates a white ripple, adds to your misses, and instantly resets your active streak to zero.
- Keep your eyes near the center of the screen to react quickly, as targets can spawn anywhere within the safe zones away from the edges, leaving you only 820 milliseconds.
Questions
How do I win the game?
You win by successfully tapping 25 squares to reach the score goal before the clock runs out. If the timer hits zero first, the run ends in a loss.
What happens if I miss a square?
If you tap the background outside the square or let its 820-millisecond timer expire, your current streak resets to zero, a miss is recorded, and the game says Too late.
How long does each square stay on the screen?
Each square remains visible for exactly 820 milliseconds. Once you tap it or the time expires, there is a short 190-millisecond gap before the next target appears.
