Overview

Fast‑reaction micro‑games: complete short safety‑themed challenges under a rising speed curve. Fail three times and the run ends.

How to Play

  • Each round presents a different micro‑game with a brief prompt.
  • Succeed quickly to keep lives and push the speed higher; mistakes cost hearts.
  • Later rounds shuffle faster and add trick prompts.

Controls

  • Mouse/Touch swipes, taps, and holds; some hosts use arrow keys/space for specific games.

Tips

  • Read the prompt first—many losses come from instinctive wrong inputs.
  • Expect repetition; memorize tricky games to react faster.
  • Don’t over‑drag/over‑swipe; precision beats speed.

FAQ

    A: Usually three strikes per run.
  • Q: Can I practice a single game?
    A: Some hosts offer practice lists; otherwise learn during runs.
  • Q: Is there progression?
    A: High‑score chase; some versions unlock characters or cosmetics.
