Land it at exactly one second. 1.00s is a single-tap reaction-timing game with one rule: tap to start the timer, tap again to land at 1.000 seconds. Hit it, the window tightens. Miss it, the run ends. EVERY HIT MAKES IT HARDER The target window shrinks 6 milliseconds with every successful tap. The tracking dot accelerates with you. Your runs get faster, sharper, and less forgiving — until you can't keep up. WEEKLY GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Every depth you reach is logged to a global, weekly leaderboard. Rankings reset every Monday.
