Reflex

A shape appears on screen, shifts through colors, then snaps to green — your only job is to click the exact moment it changes. Simple in concept, humbling in practice. Reflex measures your reaction time to the millisecond across five rounds, then posts your average to a global leaderboard so you can see exactly where you stand against every other player who thought they were fast.

Because the timing is randomized, there's no rhythm to learn and no way to cheat by anticipating. Each round is a clean test of raw speed. It's the kind of skill game that takes thirty seconds to understand and keeps pulling you back for one more attempt — especially once you're a few milliseconds off a personal best.

If you also enjoy testing nerves against a leaderboard, Flappy Bird scratches a similar competitive itch. Reflex plays best on desktop with a physical mouse, where click latency is lowest and your results most accurately reflect real reaction time.
