## Description

Test your dexterity! Dactyl is an addictive, fast-paced exercise for your fingers.  The premise of the game is simple--defuse the bombs before they blow up.  Clear your mind and put your fingers to work...

Note: Dactyl 2's first level is approximately the same thing as this app.  (There is no penalty in Dactyl 2, however, for stray touches.)  To get a feel on where you rank in the world, consult Dactyl 2's leader board for that level. 

Also available:
* Dactyl 2
* Dactyl School
