Tips & Strategies

Focus on the Center

Keep your eyes focused on the center of the screen. Using your peripheral vision helps you detect when and where buttons appear.

Maintain a Relaxed Posture

Tension can slow your reactions. Keep your hand relaxed but ready over your mouse or touchpad.

Anticipate, Don't Guess

Be ready to react, but don't try to predict exactly when the button will appear. This can lead to false starts and slower times.

Practice Regularly

Reaction time can improve with practice. Regular sessions can help train your brain to respond faster.

Minimize Distractions

Play in a quiet environment with minimal distractions to maintain your focus and achieve better results.
