Hand eye coordination

Supposed to test hand eye coordination .

How the heck does anyone manage 18 seconds?

3.345 seconds.

Improved to 9.937 seconds.

I can barely get 3 seconds but I'm NOT a visual person & have bad fine motor-skills.

I got 4 seconds the first time I tried, 10 seconds on second try.

at about thirteen seconds, the shapes start moving much faster than they are shown to be, so the game doesn't actually appear very good for hand eye coordination. you have to start anticipating all of the moving shapes' trajectories, and then move accordingly. the most important shape to keep mind seems to be the long paddle since it takes up the most space with it's diagonal screen crossing pattern.

probably cannot do that twice, at least not without digging a usb mouse out of the closet... averaged about 15 seconds.

I'm terrible at this and don't care enough to keep trying, but I'd say it's more about remembering the pattern than hand-eye coordination.

From as far as I got into it, it was just about memorising where the blocks were moving and where would be an empty space. The pattern was the same every time, so in theory just by memorising the routes you can play through it a lot easier. With a good mouse, and lots of free time.

^thought so myself, at first, but at about eleven seconds the shapes started moving far too fast for me to rely on memorization of a set pattern, and reflexes had to take over.

For me it was very hit and miss. I would often get 0.3/0.4 seconds before getting 5/6 seconds or more . I certainly couldn't do it consistently. Have tried about 50 times to repeat my nearly 10 second score without success.

I do agree it's probably about anticipating where the blocks are moving. I am not good at that which probably explains the randomness of my scores . For example last 10 tries just done: 0.624 0.332 3.743 6.177 0.31 4.682 0.325 0.258 1.239 0.379

As you can see 6 of my tries were under 1 second. With an average of 1.8069 seconds.

I am sure there are better tests of hand-eye coordination.
