TapipaT: Fast Reflex Taps

A game about doing perfectly ordinary things far too quickly.

TapipaT

Rows arrive looking like an iOS settings screen: a switch, a stepper, a segmented control, a keyboard key. Only the top row is live, and it has a fuse. Clear it and the next one slides up. Miss it and it explodes. Three strikes end the run.

FOUR DIFFICULTIES

• Leisurely: Time to read the row
• Standard: The game as it was written
• Unreasonable: Takes a life if you blink
• Mathmania: No switches, only arithmetic

A STREAK IS WORTH MORE THAN A ROW Points scale with how much of the fuse you left unspent, and every fifth row in a row raises the multiplier. On the timed levels an arithmetic row now and then hands a life back; in Mathmania a coral card winds the fuse back instead.

A PENGUIN It cheers your streaks, shows you the ropes in your first game, and has the last word when a run ends.
