* What is FlickBack? *

FlickBack - have a blast while improving your reaction time! With backgrounds in sport & neuroscience, the creators have designed FlickBack to accurately focus on the core components of human reaction time. Quite literally, the more you play, the faster you will react!

Finally, a game where your reflexes are put to the test in a fun and practical manner, testing reaction time and increasing your hand-eye coordination.

* What Is Unique? *

But what is different about this game and what is the point of playing? The skill of gauging your own reaction time is hard to do, especially considering that it is a very powerful tool in the right hands.

* The Science *

It is called "mental chronometry" and it is a test of reaction time which, based on many factors, affects more than just reflex; it affects just about everything, from how quickly you can recall memories or events, your overall reaction speed, and even how fast you are able to type!

* How It Works *

FlickBack puts arrows on screen at increasingly fast intervals through 25 levels that vary in time and will test your reaction and eye-hand coordination skills in a fun and interactive manner. You must swipe each arrow in the direction shown, and for every successful swipe you earn points.

Based on the points you earn in comparison to how many that level could have earned you, determines your overall rank (indicated by an emoticon and a brief analysis).

* Why Play It? *

This is a fun way to increase your reaction time and eye-hand coordination using an addictive gaming template, rather than what most reaction time-based apps do, which is mostly nothing to scientifically improve your reaction time or cognitive abilities, but just to measure them. What is the point of measuring reaction time if you cant do anything to improve it?!

So allow FlickBack into your App library! You wont regret it!
