Perception!

Features
Read full description

Test your focus, memory, and reaction speed in this fast-paced tile challenge. You’re given a board of tiles. Each tile has a shape, a colour, and a specific action — tap, hold, or swipe. Tiles start inactive. One tile becomes the newest active target. Your job is simple: Find the newest active tile and perform the correct action. Every correct move activates the tile permanently. Then all tiles flash at once, and a new target is selected. The change is subtle. You must rely on sharp attention and fast reflexes to spot it. The board fills up. The speed increases. One mistake ends the run. Core Features - Shape and colour recognition - Tap, hold, and swipe mechanics - Reaction-time scoring system - Subtle visual change detection - Infinite progression - Randomized board layouts - High score challenge Accuracy matters. Speed matters. Focus matters. This is a game of attention under pressure. Train your memory. Improve your reaction time. Push your high score.
