Slide to Stop

A marker sweeps a bar. Stop it inside the shaded zone. Ten rounds, with a smaller zone and a faster marker every time. Score up to 30.

How to play

  1. Press Start. A marker slides left and right along a bar, and part of the bar is shaded.
  2. Press Stop, or hit Space, when the marker is over the shaded zone. The closer to the middle, the more points you earn.
  3. A bullseye near the middle scores 3, inside the zone scores 2, just outside scores 1 and a miss scores 0.
  4. After ten rounds your score out of 30 is graded. Each round the zone shrinks and the marker moves faster.

Tips and strategy

  • Watch the marker turn at the edge of the bar a few times before you press Stop. The rhythm makes timing easier.
  • Aim for the middle of the zone, not the edge. A tiny early or late tap still lands inside.
  • Use Space on a keyboard. It is quicker than moving the mouse to the Stop button.
  • The last rounds are fast. Press slightly before the marker reaches the middle, because your tap takes a moment to register.
