Reflex survival

Stay ahead of the dot. Survive the tension.

One moving threat. Your reflexes. Each run gets harder until you slip — then you restart in seconds. Built for focus, close calls, and the feeling of being hunted in the best way.

Why it feels different

Simple rules, deep skill. Every feature supports the same goal: tight control, rising pressure, and runs you want to repeat.

Movement you can trust

Your touch is the game. The goal is simple: keep moving with zero lag so every dodge feels fair and sharp.

Tension that builds

Early runs feel calm. The pace climbs, bounces get wilder, and the room to breathe shrinks — without cheap surprises.

Close calls that pop

Narrow escapes feel exciting, not punishing. Risky lines of play can feel electrifying when you pull them off.

Runs that fit your day

Most sessions are short. When you have more time, chase a new personal best or a smoother flow state.

Stats that matter

Track your best survival time, streaks, and how far you pushed the difficulty — fuel for “one more try.”

Focus, not clutter

Dark, minimal presentation keeps your eyes on the threat. The dot is the star — and the problem.

How a run goes

Three beats. No tutorial wall — you learn by moving.

  1. Step 1

    Place your touch

    Put your finger on the screen to show up on the field.

  2. Step 2

    The dot wakes up

    A single bouncing threat appears. It speeds up and gets trickier the longer you last.

  3. Step 3

    Stay free

    If it touches you, the run ends. Restart instantly and chase a better line.
