About this game

Perfect Stop is a one-tap timing game that takes two seconds to learn. A marker slides back and forth along a track. Tap to stop it inside the glowing zone in the middle. Every success makes the zone smaller and the marker faster. Hit the very centre for a perfect and a bonus. One miss and the run is over.

How to play

  1. Watch the white marker slide left and right along the track.
  2. Tap anywhere on the pad, or press Space, to stop it.
  3. If the marker stops inside the glowing zone, you move up a level.
  4. Stopping in the bright centre of the zone counts as a perfect and scores extra points.
  5. Each level the zone gets smaller and the marker gets faster. Miss the zone and the game ends.

Tips

  • Do not watch the marker's edge, watch the moment it crosses the middle of the zone.
  • Tap a tiny bit early. Your finger, your screen and your eyes all add a little delay.
  • Chain perfects. Each perfect in a row adds a growing streak bonus.
  • Stay relaxed. Hitting the zone is a rhythm, and tension makes you tap late.
  • If you keep missing on the same side, shift your timing slightly the other way.

Does it ever end?

The levels keep going, but the zone has a minimum size and the speed has a maximum, so the very best players can keep a run alive for a long time.
