Seven modes vary the rules with directional targets, forced reversals, sustained holds, and multi-hit targets. Each mode has its own scores, ranks, and leaderboard.

How it plays

Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 or AMD FX-4100, 2 GB RAM and Intel HD Graphics 2500 or equivalent; OpenGL 3.3 or Direct3D 11 support. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
