More about this game
Your goal is to score as many points as possible by tapping black squares before their timer rings disappear. Throughout the run, both black and white squares spawn randomly across the screen. You must quickly tap the black ones while leaving the white ones alone. Every five seconds, the game levels up, causing squares to spawn faster and expire quicker. Your run ends instantly if you tap a white square or if a black square's timer reaches zero.
Tips
- Always prioritize the black squares with red borders, as this visual warning means they have less than 24 percent of their life remaining.
- Prepare for the game to speed up every five seconds, dropping the spawn interval from 760 milliseconds down to a frantic 265 milliseconds.
- Keep your eyes focused near the center of the play area so you can quickly react to new squares spawning on the outer edges.
Questions
How do I know when a square will expire?
Every square has a colored ring around it that shrinks over time. Black squares also get a red border when they drop below 24 percent of their lifespan.
Why did my run end suddenly?
Your run ends immediately if you make a single mistake. This happens if you accidentally tap a white square, or if you fail to tap a black square before its timer ring completely disappears.
How does the difficulty increase over time?
As you play, the game levels up every five seconds. This decreases the time you have to tap squares from 1650 milliseconds down to a minimum of 690 milliseconds.
