Stop the timer as close as you can to the target. 3.500 seconds? Tap at 3.500. Every millisecond counts. TimerBattle is a timer game and reaction time game with one rule and no luck: a stopwatch challenge where nothing random decides a round, just you, the clock and the milliseconds. Only about 1 in 10 rounds ends in a Perfect (20 ms or closer). How close can you get? HOW IT WORKS • You see a target time between 2 and 6 seconds • Tap to start the stopwatch, tap again to stop it • You see how many ms you were off, graded from Miss to Perfect PLAY SOLO • Quick game: 5 rounds, one tap from the home screen • Daily challenge: the same 5 targets for everyone, one try a day, keep your streak • Number of the day: one shared number, stop exactly on it (±10 ms) • Survival: keep going until you miss. The window gets tighter, Perfects earn shields • Championship: 20 rounds with a combo multiplier and a weekly ranking • vs AI: four levels, from Easy to Master • Custom practice: 1–50 rounds, your own targets, blind mode with the clock hidden PLAY WITH FRIENDS • A 2 player reflex game on one screen, both tap at once • Take turns on one phone, or run a tournament for 4 to 16 players • "Beat my score" links: send your 5 targets, your friend plays the same ones • Group challenges with a shared results table, no accounts needed • Online 1v1 matches and private lobbies with a 6-character code (a labelled bot steps in when nobody is around) REFLEX TRAINING YOU CAN MEASURE • Your average in ms, personal bests and accuracy trend, so you see your timing and reaction time improve • Perfect album: get a Perfect on all 41 targets from 2.0 to 6.0 s • Weekly leagues, from Pawn to King • Daily goals, XP, levels, 65 achievements and dial themes FAIR BY DESIGN • Timing is measured on your device, so lag can't decide a round • Nothing to buy that helps you win • Flagged runs don't count in the rankings A quick reflex game for a 30-second break, a timing game to settle it with friends, or daily reflex training: the same rule every time. Free to play, with ads. TimerBattle Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription: no ads, an emoji avatar, name colours and the Gold dial theme. It never gives a gameplay advantage. No RNG. No meta. Just milliseconds. Made by one independent developer. Questions or ideas: support@timerbattle.io
