Reaction Dots

How to play Reaction Dots

Reaction Dots is a reflex grid: white dots light up, and you have to click or tap them before they fade. A miss costs a life. A hit keeps your streak going and raises your score. The longer you last, the less time you have to think, which is the whole joke of the game. It comes from S1M0N38's Vibe Games collection, was built with the help of large language models, and is rehosted here under its MIT license. Credit and the original repository are linked on the game page.

You do not need to hunt around the whole screen. Rest your attention on the grid and let your hand follow the light, rather than searching with your eyes after a dot has already appeared. On a phone, using a thumb that is already hovering over the board is faster than reaching from the bottom of the device. Short sessions work well; this is a game you can retry immediately after a miss.

Play it in the browser with a mouse or a finger. There is no download and no account.

Tips

• Keep your pointer or thumb near the center of the grid so the average reach to the next dot is shorter.
• React to the flash, not to a plan; hesitation is what costs lives as the pace rises.
• After a miss, take one breath before the next run so you do not carry the last mistake into a new streak.

Controls: mouse, touch. No download and no sign-in required.
