THE GROUND RULES.

Tap white. Avoid red. Each correct tap earns one point and reshuffles the grid. Beat the bar before it empties.

Then the rules betray you. Your first flip is at 20 points, then every 25 points. After a clear, clock-frozen warning, red is safe for 6 correct taps. Another warning brings white back.

Mouse or touch: tap a safe tile.
Keyboard: each key maps to the same tile on the grid.

Every 5 points, the pace picks up. Streaks celebrate clean play, not bonus points. One tap always equals one point. Switching tabs pauses your run.

Bring a friend. Share your score after a run. Challenge links set a target, not different rules. Beat it by at least one point to win. A tie is a tie.
